An automatic concrete and mortar dispenser has been installed by the managers of the company La Couleur des Jardins, through their subsidiary CDJ Matériaux, on the Eurozone triangle. This equipment dispenses concrete on a self-service basis, with the option of ordering its volume and mix via a terminal. The dispenser is equipped with a cement silo, two bins containing pebbles or sand, and a discharge conveyor. All you need to do is position a skip or trailer under the conveyor to collect your concrete or mortar. Initially, the landscapers at La Couleur des Jardins installed this dispenser for their own needs. However, the equipment will be open to the public, businesses, local authorities or individuals, starting next week. For 150 litres of ready-mix concrete, expect to pay just under €50.
