Transit mixers capture the imagination of many with the rotating drum giving a dynamic quality that sets them apart from other trucks on the road.
In fact like any piece of machinery there is far more to the design and function than meets the eye. The concrete mixer must satisfy the demands of construction plant and those of road transport, delivering quality sensitive building materials.
Established in 1988, Hymix machines have delivered much of the concrete used in the UK over the last 25 years. This is some responsibility! A Concrete Transit Mixer affects the quality of your product as delivered to the job site. Put aggregate in a tipper, get aggregate out! Put aggregate, sand, cement and water in the back of a mixer, you want a homogenous concrete mix out that matches the mix design.
For this reason Hymix invests heavily in getting the engineering of the drum right. The original Hymix machine was thoroughly tested by experienced Concrete Technicians at dry batch plants before being approved for service; and careful attention has been paid to mix performance ever since.
The new P-Series range from Hymix is no exception, the machine design has evolved, but mix performance has remained at the top of the agenda. The second factor for anyone in the supply chain has to be the time on site. Job sites are busy and places where space is at a premium. With construction companies working to reduce build times the less time a truck spends on site the better. Hymix Patented Rapid Discharge system will typically discharge concrete with fewer turns meaning less time on site, less fuel and so a lower carbon footprint.
To complement the drum the new P-Series range from Hymix offers a comprehensive standard specification. The machine has been designed to be rugged, robust and reliable with controls and pipework carefully located to give a logical accessible control station and an easy clean machine.
A range of modular options include self-contained Job Site Washing, Easy Clean Powered Hopper for safe visual slump checking, long reach Telescopic Chutes and Conveyor Systems.
Other options include new cab controls with D.R.U.M. Stop and Rapid Rescue access covers.
