Directions For Electronic Mix Design TR 4221-A / Batcher Mixer

CS 4220 Process

1. Download Mix Design / Batcher Mixer Excel spreadsheet files from PENNDOTs web
site www.dot.state.pa.us / General Information / Publications / Forms, Publications
and Maps or PACAs web site www.pacaweb.com

2. Open the Mix Design File and save it as your master file.

3. Enter information on the mix design form. The cells with a red corner have prompts
built in to the program.

4. Use Save As and name the file with the mix design number. 04-3A012 First 2 digits
are the year. Dash. Next 2 digits are the class: 1C to 3A. The last 3 spaces are the
numbers or letters used to designate the mix.

5. E-mail the mix design files to the appropriate District Materials Unit
RA-PDDistrict7-0mat@state.pa.us with the request to use the mix designs.

6. The District Materials Unit will evaluate the mix design information and reply to the
e-mail stating if the mixes can be used.

7. The producer is to keep (save, print, etc) the mix design information and the District
Materials Engineers e-mail reply.

I. Open the Batcher Mixer File and save it as your master file.

II. Use as appropriate during production. Paper copies of the Batcher Mixer slip
will need to be sent to the projects because of limited email capability.
