Counter Current Mixers

Counter Current Mixers

Counter Current Mixers are for batching operations. This mixer can handle anything from wet and dry cast concretes, specialty mix designs to the latest self-compacting concrete (SCC), lightweight and heavyweight concrete, specialty high strength concrete, colored concrete mixes, wet and dry mortar, plaster, foundry sand, glass, mineral mixes and fine powder mixes.

Processes

The Counter Current Mixers stars rotate around a center vertical axis, delivering intense countercurrent mixing action and transferring all the mixing energy directly into the concrete. In addition, the mixing shovels have been optimized to perfect the mixing shear action and to completely sweep out the pan between batches. Larger mixers are equipped standard with a hydraulic torque converter coupling between the motor and main gear reducer which allows the mixer to start smoothly, even with a full batch, and protects the mixer driveline.
