The new agents for Carmix South Africa recently hosted a demonstration day to exhibit the functionality of the Carmix 3.5TT unit.
The Carmix 3.5TT is the mid-sized unit in the Carmix range with a drum capacity of 4850 litres and concrete yield per batch of 3.5m3. The Carmix 3.5TT is a perfect balance of batch size capabilities and productivity which makes it the most popular unit worldwide. However, Carmix has an established and diverse range of self-loading concrete mixers varying in size, manoeuvrability and price: to meet all job-site requirements.
The demonstration was held at the Carmix yard in Modderfontein, Johannesburg where 2 full batches of 25mpa concrete were loaded, mixed and dispatched. The simplicity of operation was evident during the demonstration with each batch being completed in under 20 minutes with only 6 fully loaded buckets required to make 3.5m3 of concrete. A detailed explanation of the advanced Load Cells system showed how accurately materials can be added to the drum which highlights Carmix’s goal of producing high quality concrete consistently. The Load Cells allow operators to completely control the quality of concrete output which can classify Carmix as not only a self-loading concrete mixer but a mobile concrete batching plant.
Carmix emphasised the durability of their units in the harsh South African environment and explained that electronics, which often create problems by malfunctioning, have been avoided at all costs. All functions associated with loading, mixing and dumping, excluding the electronic weigh system, are hydraulically operated making the Carmix units robust and user friendly with functional simplicity once again being apparent.
The Carmix South Africa agency has recently been adopted by Pilequip, a geotechnical equipment supplier, with over ten yen year experience in the concrete and equipment servicing fields. This allows Carmix South Africa to provide post sale service and technical support of the high standard associated with Pilequip.
