Concrete-Mate is the revolution of the concrete production industry. Thanks to this new device, the mix can be weighed directly inside the drum. Unlike many similar systems present on the market and which use a hydraulic system built on the bucket, the one installed on the new Carmix 3500 TC ensures extremely reliable data on the quality of the concrete. This device is added to the essential element that has always been inspired by Carmix's philosophy: the self-loading cement mixer was born to offer a machine that can prepare concrete on site. Less mechanical stress, due to the mixing and transportation, thus results in a decreased need for additives. The result? An excellent quality product ready to be used on any job site, when you require and how you need it.
The quality is confirmed by the printing of a real-time receipt inside the cabin, detailing: mixing times, quantities scheduled to load, quantities of each aggregate loaded and variances. The computer also has a wireless and USB function allowing the data to be transferred to a site managers laptop miles away from the job site. All to ensure the quality of the mix is upheld and production targets are met.
For those contractors that want to be at the forefront of technology, Carmix has the PROMIX – probe. This is a state of the art digital device that relays REAL-TIME info to the operator and office of Slump, Temperature, moisture, rotational speed and readiness of concrete inside the drum. This is done by means of a stainless-steel probe inside the drum submitting data via Bluetooth to the cabin every second

CARMIX BUILDS A CHICKEN FEED Carmix recently help build a Poultry feed mill at a well-known chicken farm in Lichtenburg. There were some challenges faced, one of the biggest was contending with the rainy season that had just started in Lichtenburg competing with deadlines we had to start working longer shifts. Some of the things that helped us were: Adjusting the mix design to one that work to our advantage with all the rain. The Carmix was built for any types of terrain. The cabin on the 3.5TT is closed and equipped with Clima (air conditioner and heater) which kept the operator comfortable and focused allowing him to discharge accurately. Having well trained and professional operators who have done all the necessary training on how to operate the Carmix. Our Carmix 3.5TT did not disappoint, in the 3 months we were on site we mixed about 1000m3 of concrete, our biggest pour was 200m3 in 24 hours. Site set up and having your aggregates close is important for maximum productivity, on this site they had a 15 000kg cement Silo and two 10 000 litre water tanks only 400 meters from the discharge site which did speed up productivity to get the more loads done within the day. Despite having to deal with wet muddy conditions the Carmix 3.5TT pushed through every challenge thrown at it.
