The Vertical Shaft Concrete Mixer design has one or two mixing stars that rotate themselves while also rotating around a central point, allowing each arm to cover the whole mixer floor in a number of revolutions. This powerful mixing action is both fast and thorough, results in a mixing time, after water is added, of 30 seconds or less for most types of concrete. The result is greater throughput, providing more concrete per hour for the same size plant, as well as better consistency and greater strength or, on the other hand, a saving on cement. Sicoma’s planetary design is superior to turbine and twin-shaft designs for production of all types of dry-cast concrete. The reason for this is its intense mixing action, which breaks up zero-slump mix quickly.
YCZG Machinery Vertical Shaft Concrete Mixer offer long life, as they are 5-10% heavier than most of their equivalents on the market today, due to their robust steel structure and thick interior abrasion proof linings.
