At Jamieson Equipment Co., Inc., we provide high-quality concrete mixers and components for a range of applications. Our lineup includes planetary concrete mixers and twin shaft concrete mixers, both known for their reliability and performance in producing consistent and durable concrete. Whether you’re working with dry-cast, wet, or high-strength mixes, our mixers are designed to meet your specific needs.
Planetary Concrete Mixers
The Sicoma high-speed planetary concrete mixer offers powerful, thorough mixing due to its countercurrent design. With one or two rotating mixing stars, the mixer guarantees that each arm covers the entire mixer floor with high repeatability, delivering exceptional mixing results. This design allows for fast and complete mixing, typically in under 30 seconds for most types of concrete.
Key advantages of the planetary concrete mixer include greater throughput, meaning more concrete per hour from the same plant size, as well as superior consistency and strength. The Sicoma planetary mixer is particularly effective for dry-cast concrete, such as zero-slump mixes, thanks to its intense mixing action. Compared to turbine and twin-shaft designs, the Sicoma planetary mixer is unmatched in breaking up dry materials and creating a uniform mixture.
This machine features Ni-Hard cast iron liner tiles and wear-resistant mixing blades that extend the life of the mixer. A five-year/10,000-hour guarantee on gearboxes guarantees that the mixer will operate smoothly for years. Its large reduction gearbox and oil bath system keep the mixer running cool and efficient, avoiding overheating issues often seen with smaller commercial gear units. The fast discharge mechanism also guarantees quick, complete unloading without creating dead spots in the mixer, improving operational efficiency.
Twin Shaft Concrete Mixers
For high-volume, high-output concrete production, the Sicoma twin shaft concrete mixer is the mixer of choice. With over 6,000 units in use worldwide, the Sicoma twin shaft concrete mixer is recognized for its reliability and exceptional mixing action.
The twin shaft concrete mixer uses a compulsory spiral mixing system, where particles are thrown from each side of the mixer toward the center, having complete and thorough mixing. The addition of water via powerful jets enhances the absorption, allowing the cement to coat the aggregate particles uniformly, resulting in a strong, cohesive mixture.
One of the key advantages of the twin shaft concrete mixers is its compact size, which allows it to fit into existing plants without requiring a major overhaul. This ability to be retrofitted makes it ideal for operations looking to increase throughput without investing in two separate mixers or splitting material feeds.
The wear on the mixer is minimal, thanks to its design that keeps the outer 70% of the liner surface free from direct contact with concrete. This means the mixer requires less frequent maintenance and extends the life of the liner plates. The Sicoma twin shaft mixer excels in ready-mix, precast, and block applications, as well as larger projects like dams, where consistent and high-quality concrete production is critical.
