Assured Implementation Method
Take AIM at successful equipment start-ups!
Admix is committed to assuring a positive, successful installation and commissioning of all equipment we sell. Our Assured Implementation Method (AIM) provides an opportunity for customers to work with our team to ensure a smooth, trouble-free equipment start-up.
Prior to receipt of Admix equipment, customers receive a pre-installation checklist that contains important information regarding equipment, training, and basic utility requirements to prepare for the arrival of a Field Service Engineer, along with installation guidelines to guide start-up. See highlights below or request complete package.
In addition, the Field Service Engineer conducts meaningful, productive training based on information gathered prior to the onsite visit. Typically, our engineer arrives within five (5) business days from the equipment arrival date and/or once the installation checklist is returned.
Occasionally additional accessories and spare parts may be necessary for installation. To schedule training, obtain forms, or check on any additional parts required, contact the Field Services Team.
Equipment Pre-Installation Checklist
Pre-installation tasks and a training questionnaire are completed prior to scheduling of AIM service. Once below checklist and corresponding form is returned to Admix, your service visit will be scheduled.
- Inspect the equipment for any shipping damage; report to carrier immediately
- Uncrate machine
- Remove all packaging materials (except those necessary to move machine)
- Remove all protective coatings
- Level tank mounting surface

The following must also be available prior to the arrival of your Admix rep:
- Proper electrical service

Installation Guidelines
The AIM program will give you the necessary requirements to install your mixer properly. This includes info on uncrating, unwrapping, proper motor storage, transportation/lifting and safety guidance.
