RECYCLED WATER STIRRER
CMQ ENGINEERING / CONCRETE / RECYCLED WATER STIRRER
In the past, it was not uncommon to have a patch of ground in a dedicated corner of the batching yard for trucks to unload leftover concrete, then wait for it to cure, and have a crew break it up into pieces to be hauled away. Trucks returning from a site with leftover concrete is an unavoidable part of this business, but the way of handling leftover returned concrete has changed. A recycled water stirrer is now a standard part of modern concrete reclamation systems, helping plants manage returned material more efficiently and with less manual labour.
Now there are options for advanced concrete reclamation, and a CMQ recycled water stirrer is an important component in concrete recycling that helps make the process seamless, from start to finish. By forcing water down to the bottom of the slurry water holding pit, the water stirrer keeps the pit clean and guarantees the suspension of cementitious material in the water to be reused in the production of pre-mixed concrete. This continuous mixing prevents sedimentation and ensures that the recycled water remains consistent in quality, reducing the need for frequent manual cleaning and improving the overall reliability of the batching process.

Recycled Water Stirrer Features
- Cementitious material is suspended in the water, allowing no build up on the bottom
- Two large, sealed bearings support the stirrer
- The blade angle and size work like a turbo prop, which forces the water down, cleaning the bottom of the pit, keeping all solids in suspension, and leaving no residue build-up
- This design has been successfully proven for over 15 years.
- These stirrers work best in square pits.
- The specific design of the recycled water stirrer prevents sediment buildup by maintaining constant agitation throughout the water column.
Recycling Concrete
When recycling concrete leftover from a truck, concrete reclaiming equipment is used to separate the aggregate from the concrete slurry. The remaining slurry water is sent to a tank or pit, from where the water can be further cleaned or recycled back into cement production. While in this holding pit, the water must be constantly agitated to prevent the cementitious material from sinking to the bottom or from curing. A dedicated water stirrer ensures this agitation remains consistent, keeping the recycled water ready for immediate reuse in the batching process.
A Recycled Water Stirrer
Not all water stirring devices are the same. The recycled water stirrer from CMQ Engineering is ruggedly made from heavy material and is built to last. It has also been designed with fluid dynamics in mind. The blades are curved and angled in a way that makes it function like a turbo prop – increasing the flow of water to the bottom of the tank, which prevents build up and keeps all cement particles in a state of suspension. This water stirrer maintains consistent agitation even in high-viscosity slurry, ensuring reliable performance. This is a proven design that is currently in use by companies around the globe.
Dependable Custom-Made Equipment
CMQ Engineering is at the forefront of custom mining and quarrying machinery and equipment technology and design. We’ve been doing this for years, and we want to put those years of experience to work for you. If you need to replace a worn-out recycled water stirrer, or if you need a water stirrer for a new concrete recycling system, we can make it happen. Our custom-built units are engineered to handle the specific demands of your batching yard, ensuring reliable performance and long-term durability.
