Pneucon, has launched indigenously developed transit mixer, which can produce concrete with various capacities 2 m3, 4 m3 and 6 m3 capacity. It is a strong well designed piece of equipment meant for transporting concrete/ mortar from concrete batching plant to the place where it is to be poured. It has a wide range of applications especially for mass concreting works like construction of canals, bridges, highways, dams, industrial buildings, factories, airports and for ready mixed concrete works (RMC). PNEUCON Transit Mixer is a fully hydrostatic mounted on truck chassis. Hydrostatic power is transmitted by high pressure axial piston type pump and motor, which permits infinite varying drum speed from 0 to 14 rpm in both directions. The control of pump gives flow to a high pressure hydraulic motor, which rotates the mixer drum through an epicyclic gear reducer. The mixer drum has double spiral type mixing blade inside it which ensures efficient mixing without segregation and also guarantees smooth flow of concrete while discharging. The mixer drum and spiral are made from highly durable steel.

Salient features:

Long life of mixing drum and spirals due to highly durable steel.
Imported hydraulic pump and motor.
Compact imported oil bath planetary gearbox which absorbs extreme torsion of equipment.
Micro filtration system ensuring hydraulic pump and motor protection.
