New range of planetary mixers
"Steelfields have introduced a new range of planetary mixers which, they say, can reduce concrete mixing and discharge times by as much as 30%."
There are five models in the range offering compacted outputs from 500 litres to 2m3. The mixer is specially designed to keep materials in constant motion and provide rapid homogenization of the mix. This is achieved using a powerful two- or three-point mixing star.
The units incorporate reinforced pans and are fully enclosed with integral covers and spray jets to eliminate dust emissions or spillage. Options include up to four hydraulic discharge doors and a choice of liner plates and paddle blades. An optional discharge accelerator can reduce discharge times by as much as 30%.
"Suitable for precast work and special applications such as coloured concrete, mortar, high-strength concrete and gypsum mixes, the mixers can be fitted to virtually any new or existing concrete batching plant and can be adapted to suit half-wet batching applications."
