Single Shaft Concrete Mixers Advantages

HEAVY AND ROBUST

MEKA Single Shaft 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 , coal and other mineral grinding, slurry pump manufacturing, 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.

WHY USING NI-HARD?

The rigidity of NI-HARD material is identical through every section and layer, therefore, abrasion rates do not vary, as the plates begin to wear and subject to the rigidity of the aggregates used, the life expectancy of the Ni-Hard mixer wear parts, can reach a production capacity of up to 1,000,000 m³, depending on the mixer type and its volume.

DISCHARGE CHUTE

A discharge chute can be supplied upon request with or without rubber chute.

UNIQUE BEARING AND SEAL DESIGN

The specially designed Bearing and Single Shaft Mixer seal group consists of a number of metallic and polyurethane components. The bearings are place on the outside of the mixer in the specially designed housing, which prevents the ingress of cementitious grouts, if a seal failure should occur, therefore, with the correct routine maintenance, the life expectancy of each bearing can exceed 500,000 m³ of production. The Labyrinth seal structure encapsulates the grease provided by the automated greasing system, to create a seal, preventing the grout from penetrating the bearing.

PERFECT LUBRICATION SYSTEM

The Centralized automatic lubrication system, continuously supplies the mixer labyrinth seals, with sensors on each seal, to ensure, you are informed of a failure, before it is too late.

WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

We offer water distribution pipe with distribution nozzles working by gravity by default. Several discharge types and sprayers, gravity or pressurized are available upon request according to the application.

MIXER DISCHARGE GATE

Discharge gate is operated pneumatically. Position switches enable individual adjustments for controlling the flow of through the discharge gate.

POWER PANEL

All MEKA mixers come pre-wired and connected to the junction power box.

MAINTENANCE COVER

Wide maintenance hatch with safety switches for secure and easy access for maintenance are supplied as a standard.

DRIVETRAIN TO LAST

High quality engines and gear-boxes from the best manufacturers with perfectly chosen RPM’s lower energy consumption and provide a long lasting service life of the mixers. Final transmission is a strong and simple chain mechanism with easy access to bearing group and seals.

UNIQUE PADDLE STRUCTURE

The Single Shaft Mixer paddle structure has been specifically designed for strength and abrasion resistance. Each Pallet group attached to a helicoidal main shaft has been reinforced against failure, and the concave structure improves life expectancy. The design and quality of our mixer paddle structures, are market leading and the quality is often compared to many German products on the market today. The life expectancy of the mixing group, is equal to the abrasion proof liners and cast thickness of the mixer structure, therefore, the life expectancy of MEKA equipment is more than often, in excess of many of our competitors.

Concrete Mixers Optional Features

Concrete mixers are essential equipment in the construction industry, enabling the rapid and efficient mixing of concrete. These mixers ensure a homogeneous blend of concrete, contributing to the production of high-quality and durable concrete on construction sites. They are commonly used in concrete production plants and construction sites for transporting and pouring concrete.

Concrete mixers are available in various capacities and can be adapted to meet different project needs, from large-scale construction projects to smaller applications. Typically, mixers have capacities ranging from 4 m³ to 10 m³, but some models may have smaller or larger capacities depending on specific requirements.

What is a Concrete Mixer and How Does It Work?

A concrete mixer is a piece of equipment used to create a homogeneous concrete mixture. Concrete mixers typically use a rotating drum or a mixing cylinder. This rotating system allows materials such as cement, sand, water, and aggregate to mix together and form concrete. The mixer’s rotational movement ensures a uniform mix and helps produce high-quality concrete.

What Are the Applications of Concrete Mixers?

Concrete mixers are widely used in the construction industry. They are essential in various projects, from residential buildings to infrastructure works, road construction projects, and commercial buildings. Concrete mixers are indispensable on construction sites, especially for concrete pouring processes. They are also frequently used in concrete production plants.

How Much Concrete Can Concrete Mixers Mix?

The capacity of concrete mixers typically ranges from 4 m³ to 10 m³. However, with custom designs, smaller or larger capacity mixers can also be produced. The mixer capacity is determined based on the scale of the construction project and the daily concrete requirement. Smaller capacity mixers are sufficient for small projects, while higher-capacity mixers are preferred for larger projects.

How to Maintain a Concrete Mixer?

Regular maintenance of concrete mixers is essential for ensuring their long lifespan and efficient operation. The drum and motor should be inspected and cleaned regularly. After each mixing process, any remaining concrete should be removed, and surfaces should be lubricated. Additionally, gears, tires, and other moving parts should be periodically checked and replaced or lubricated if necessary. Following the manufacturer’s maintenance guidelines helps keep the mixer operating efficiently.

Is It More Advantageous to Rent or Buy a Concrete Mixer?

The decision to rent or buy a concrete mixer depends on the size and duration of the project. For short-term projects, renting a concrete mixer may be more cost-effective. However, for long-term or large-scale projects, purchasing a mixer can be more economical. Buying ensures continuous availability and maintenance control, whereas renting is a better option if you need the mixer for a limited period and want to avoid maintenance responsibilities.
