After adding of water into the dry mix concrete, Open the Fiber packet and slowly sprinkle fibers into a rotating mixer. Ensure that, the mixer has to be rotated at maximum RPM after adding fibers.
Prepare a dry mortar and make a pond. Add some water into pond and prepare 30% of dry mortar into slurry. Then open the Fiber packet and sprinkle fibers onto slurry uniformly and mix thoroughly for 5 to 10 minutes. Then mix that slurry with remaining dry mortar until you get a uniform paste.
At the time of addition of water, Open the Fiber packet and pour fibers into the mixer. After dispatching concrete from the mixer into truck, the truck has to rotate at maximum RPM so that fibers distributes uniformly.
