    Yes. Of course. The method of mixing is not relevant to batching. So long as the quantities and proportions remain what they need to be, drum mixing or hand mixing, both are batch mixing. In fact, in the industry, mostly drums are used for mixing concrete because they save time and labour.

    Now you can use the aggregate between sieve size 10mm retaining and passing from 12.5 mm.use locally available materials to reduce cost. Still, the mix design does not change but gives the desired result.
