Chryso®Convert C

Turn Returned Concrete into Value

Returned concrete presents a growing operational, environmental, and financial burden for ready-mix producers, with an estimated 3–8% of all dispatched loads returned (based on interviews with industry leaders and field surveys). When a load is returned, options are often:

  • Reuse directly (if conditions allow)
  • Convert for reuse: Chryso®Convert C 
  • Dispose, crush, or produce blocks

How Convert C Works

Chryso®Convert C, transforms returned plastic concrete into a dry, hardened, granular state, making it easy to handle and reuse. This not only simplifies the washout process but also significantly reduces waste, promoting sustainability and cost-efficiency in your operations.

  • Efficient Process: Adding Chryso®Convert C directly into the mixer drum is quick and straightforward, ensuring minimal disruption to your workflow. 
  • Reusable Solution: By converting leftover concrete into reusable material, we help you minimize waste and make the most of your resources.
  • Cost-Effective: Reduce disposal costs and make the most of your resources with our innovative concrete treatment solutions.

From waste to usable material

Returned concrete doesn’t have to be treated as a loss. With the right approach, it can be:

  • Easier to handle and manage
  • Reused in practical applications
  • Part of a more efficient, circular operation

Chryso®Convert C enables that shift, helping convert returned loads into a material that can be used rather than discarded.

Simple process. Minimal disruption

Simple Addition

The water-soluble bags are designed for quick and convenient use; simply add them directly into the mixer drum without the need for additional handling or measurement. The bags dissolve rapidly in the mix, allowing the product to be applied effortlessly and eliminating the need for any extra tools or equipment​

Quick Transformation

Upon activation, the product initiates a rapid chemical process that converts returned plastic concrete into a dry, hardened, granular material. This transformation reduces the volume and complexity of the material, making it easier to handle and manage without added steps, allowing you to quickly prepare for the next batch.​

Easy​ Discharge​

Once transformed, the granular material can be discharged effortlessly, ensuring minimal labor and reducing time spent on handling. This easy discharge feature makes the process straightforward, enhancing operational efficiency and keeping downtime to a minimum.​

Standard​ Washout​

After discharging the granular material, you can proceed with a standard washout procedure to thoroughly clean the drum. This approach keeps equipment ready for immediate reuse, maintaining a clean and efficient workflow without requiring specialized cleaning methods.​

Designed to support day-to-day plant operations

As a practical way to simplify how returned concrete is handled across the plant, Chryso®Convert C helps:

  • Reduce time spent managing returned loads 
  • Minimize leftover material in the drum 
  • Avoid additional washout or handling constraints 
  • Keep trucks and crews focused on production, not cleanup 

Turn returned concrete into usable material

Instead of paying to dispose of returned loads, you can reuse material within your operation or support site needs. Once converted, the material can be used in a range of applications such as:

  • Road base 
  • Fill material 
  • Yard or plant applications 
  • Temporary access roads and site preparation
