Performance enhancements to composite mixer drum
McNeilus has made several performance enhancements to its Revolution composite mixer drum, improving the way ready-mix producers work. Areas of improvement include the interior surface of the drum, new water channels, and a tougher exterior surface. These changes all increase productivity and drum longevity.
The drum has more durable interior wear surfaces for better protection against concrete buildup. The new interior also provides superior wear resistance, extending the life of the fins and interior surface.
Surface imperfections that promote concrete buildup have been removed from the interior of the drum. The smoother interior provides for better flow of concrete and prevents buildup. This ultimately means a more productive drum. There are new water channels throughout the spiral. McNeilus has introduced two-inch channels that allow water to get behind the fin, ensuring that concrete does not build up. These new channels also allow for better concrete mixing action.
A more durable drum surface – Mc-Neilus’ new Revolution R-MOR drum finish – provides a tough, UV-resistant layer on the Revolution drum, increasing its durability. The finish also means easier cleanup and a smoother service for vehicle graphics. The new finish contains a white pigment, so the drum no longer needs to be painted. The pigment is UV-stable and will not fade. Revolution composite mixer drums are 2,000 pounds lighter than steel drums and can carry one-half yard of extra concrete. not The weight savings translates into signifi-cant fuel savings on the return trip.
