The planetary Concrete Mixers(or countercurrent) 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.
HEAVY AND ROBUST
YCZG Machinery Planetary Concrete Mixers 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.
NI-HARD IS THE KEY
We offer NI-HARD alloy cast wearing linings in our Single Shaft Mixers as standard. This particular alloy is well known for its abrasion resistance and is used in a variety of different applications, such as concrete mixing, coal and other mineral grinding, slurry pump manufacturing, concrete pumping, piston manufacturing, gears manufacturing and many others. Despite being more expensive at the outset, Ni-hard outperforms other alloys in terms of abrasion resistance and overall operating costs, as NI-HARD is proven to have up to 3 times the wear life of standard alloy materials.
