ahuecar/ mezclar (o agregar o añadir)(cemento) Explanation: Fluff is translated as ahuecar in the Oxford Spanish Dictionary. However, I would say something more like "airear" o "llenar de aire". Incorporar is what you use in cooking for folding, eg, "folding the butter into the mix". Unless you're adding the cement, this probably won't be a useful possibility. I hope this at least gives you some ideas. Reference: http://www.google.com/search?num=20&hl=en&q=%22incorporar+ce... |

airear, esponjar, aumentar de volumen por aire Explanation: Robert: Encontré que "fluffing" es cuando le entra aire al cemento almacenado, por lo cual ocupa más lugar (la cantidad de cemento sigue siendo la misma pero entre partícula y partícula hay más espacio). Por lo tanto, luego es necesario consolidarlo. Por analogía sería el procedimiento contrario a lo que se hace con el harina antes de hacer una torta: se la pasa por un tamiz para airearla. Así el harina ocupa más volumen (¿fluffing?) y si la golpeamos, extraemos el aire y vuelve a compactarse. Éste es el ejemplo que obtuve de Internet - es intereante por contiene datos sobre el cemento Portland que pueden ser útiles: On site storage Weight of cement & required storage capacity 94 lbs /cf (pcf) consolidated = 1 bag bulk cement is measured by the ton (2000 lbs). Unit weight varies from 53 pcf to 103 pcf depending on consolidation. Since cement is transported using air (pneumatic), significant fluffing occurs and consolidation is necessary to reduce size of storage vessels. Storage bins are typically oversized by 20% of rated bag or pound capacity to achieve actual storage. Ah... y para "blending" diría "mezclado" o "mezcla" del cemento.

You get to see what is happening inside the pile—if the material is too wet or too dry, what ingredients are or are not decomposing, and how well composting is progressing. Turning performs several functions. It charges the pile with fresh air. It improves aeration by fluffing the materials and creating air channels. <a href=\"http://info.ag.uidaho.edu/Resources/PDFs/CIS1066.pdf> http://info.ag.uidaho.edu/Resources/PDFs/CIS1066.pdf</a&g...
