The high-speed stirrer effectively mixes the concrete in zones near the wall of the conical trough and disintegrates agglomerations of sand and cement particles

The two-way screw homogenizes the distributed constituents of the mix at almost any filling level so as to effectively mix 10 to 100 % of the maximum batch size

Up to the F-1-IV model (up to 1,125 l), the mixer is equipped with a single mixing turbine; up to the J-2-VII model (up to 2,250 l), it features one or two mixing turbines, which depends on the specific application

In 2013 leading concrete mixer manufacturers have presented new developments. Part II of the article takes a closer look at the systems of Skako and Teka.

The Rotoconix mixer supplied by Skako Concrete is available with capacities of 750 l, 1,500 l and 2,250 l. It combines three mixing functions or tools within a single mixer: a high-speed stirrer, a two-way screw and a rotary trough. This system is suitable for mixing any concrete grade due to the wide range of available tool speeds. The speed of each tool can be easily adjusted to the type of mix. Furthermore, the system provides the option to reverse the direction of rotation in order to loosen any material that adheres to the tools.
