Carmix’s new 3.500 TC concrete mixer is said to be an ideal combination of technology and design, offering powerful and versatile work tools. The Italian firm’s latest model has a yield of 3.5m³, a double-mixing blade, a mixing and jet speed, regardless of the number of turns of the diesel motor, and a concrete jet in reverse. The 3.500 TC also has a 600litre loader - controllable with the Joymix - with a hydraulic command opening to load the sand or gravel directly into the barrel. Finally, the machine can
Carmix’s new 3.500 TC concrete mixer is said to be an ideal combination of technology and design, offering powerful and versatile work tools. The Italian firm’s latest model has a yield of 3.5m³, a double-mixing blade, a mixing and jet speed, regardless of the number of turns of the diesel motor, and a concrete jet in reverse. The 3.500 TC also has a 600litre loader – controllable with the Joymix – with a hydraulic command opening to load the sand or gravel directly into the barrel. Finally, the machine can handle, even when fully loaded, slopes up to 30%, according to Carmix.
Installed on the Carmix 3.500 TC concrete mixer, Concrete-Mate is a new device from Carmix allowing a concrete mix to be weighed directly inside the barrel. Unlike many similar systems present on the market which use a hydraulic system built on the blade, Concrete-Mate is said to ensure extremely reliable data on the concrete’s quality.
The Carmix 3.500 TC can also be used with Carmix’s Promix solution. Promix is a state-of-the-art digital measuring device composed of a stainless steel probe that is housed inside the concrete mixer and powered by a solar panel. A display in the concrete mixer cab receives information in real time via a sensor providing details on the slump, temperature, moisture and rotational speed of the concrete mixer. Crucially, Promix also tells users when the concrete mixture is ready. All the data is constantly updated every ten seconds and sent to the receiver, thanks to a very easy to read display. Thus, the operator always knows all the parameters of the concrete that is being prepared. Such information can be stored in an external computer or sent to other mobile devices via the GPS network.
