Mobile mixers cost effective option
Ready-mix concrete begins the curing process before the truck even leaves the yard, it has to be ordered in exact amounts, and is batched at the plant and difficult to modify on the jobsite.
A solution is a mobile concrete mixer which delivers fresh concrete mixed at the point of delivery; mixes precisely the right amount of concrete, on site, each and every time; and allows the contractor to adjust the mix design, including admixtures and colourants, on site, as the concrete is produced.
Custom-designed, Elkin mobile concrete mixers transport sand, aggregate, water, cement and admixtures to the jobsite where they are properly batched and mixed at the point of delivery to exact specifications.
Their high-tech system enables the operator to adjust precise amounts of each ingredient to ensure the specified end result. Raw materials drop through the mixing bowl to the mixing auger, which includes a number of innovative and patented features that result in both increased productivity and a thoroughly blended mix.
The auger flighting is notched to permit backflow that aids the mixing process. These notched flights, combined with the pitch and speed of the hydraulically driven auger, ensure a rich, creamy, thoroughly blended mix.
The auger is housed in a trough made of high-strength, two-ply rubber, which conforms to the auger, preventing wear and damage to the system while optimizing productivity. The adjustable auger bearing and trough adjustment rods that provide up and down movement of the auger and in and out positioning of the trough are patented.
Elkin mobile mixers are custom designed and sized to fit either existing or new truck chassis as specified by the customer. They are available in a wide range of rear-discharge, front-discharge, and trailer or skid-mounted configurations with capacities from one to over 10 cubic yards and hourly productivity rates up to 60+ cubic yards.
