Advantages of Central Mix over Dry Batch • Increased production capacity (approximately 50%) • Superior quality control (slump) • Reduced wear on truck mixer blades & drums • Reduced man hours for truck mixer clean-up • Overall cleaner plant operation • Sales tool for selling quality concrete
R & S Tilt Mixer Design as compared to Rexcon, Erie Strayer, Hagen, Heltzel, MTM and Con-E-Co. • Completely eliminates approximately 30 wear points (such as load rollers, roller path, and guide rollers) • Reduced maintenance cost over the life of the mixer is substantial
Mixing Efficiency • R & S mixing efficiency is equal to or better than all competitors • R & S Tilt Mixer design has been proven through mixer efficiency tests by independent laboratories for tough specification jobs such as nuclear power plants. • 30 second shrink mix batch gives 300yds/hr
Exclusive Tilt Motion • Provides superior cleanliness of charging, mixing, dust control and discharge operations • Mixer mouth falls away from charge head, then returns to a positive seal – no spillage • In a class by itself
Mixer Batch Size • 15 degree incline of the drum axis during the charging and mixing cycle permits full capacity batches without spillage • All horizontal axis mixers have serious spillage problems both of wet and dry materials • The offering of “spillage chutes” in competitive price sheets is indicative of this problem
Shipping • R & S Tilt Mixers are shipped completely assembled and ready to operate • As an example, some other mixers are shipped in 12 pieces requiring field assembly and alignment
DrumLiners • R & S Tilt Mixers are equipped standard with 3/8” ar steel drum liners stitch welded into place • 1” polyurethane drum liners are recommended • Full face 1” polyurethane blade liners are also available and recommended • ¾” polyurethane liners for the mixer dump chute and collecting cone in lieu of ¼” ar steel liners are available and recommended • Spray-in “Rawhide” lining also available for longer life and cost efficiency
