3+ Reasons the Holcombe Volumetric Concrete Mixer will improve concrete delivery

A range of  innovative concrete mixer trucks with unique technical features will be launched to market in February at the UK Concrete Show 2015.

Why the launch of the Holcombe Volumetric Concrete Mixers?

Following the feedback that had been received about the capabilities of existing volumetric concrete mixers, Utranazz, in conjunction with American manufacturer Holcombe Mixers worked together to design a concrete mixer that would meet with these specific demands.

The first in the range to be launched, is the HM12H-E, which has a 9.4m3 capacity and a 50m3/hour. It is the most simple volumetric mixer to use and it is easy to maintain, allowing operators to carry the maximum amount of raw materials permitted.

Reduce downtime for changing a conveyor belt

On average it takes 2 days to change a conveyor belt - too much downtime! In answer to this frustration faced by operators, the HM12H-E has a patented removable cassette conveyor, which is a slide-out component held in place by eight bolts. Upon removing the 8 bolts the entire conveyor assembly will slide out the back of the concrete mixer and allow the user to simply slide in a new conveyor cassette. This process will take just 5 hours, keeping downtown to the absolute minimum.

Another common complaint made by UK volumetric users is that their hydraulic systems run 100% at all times. This puts a heavy strain on the hydraulic system and causes higher failure rates on wear parts. The HM12H-E is fitted with a unique load-sensing variable displacement hydraulic system, which scales to higher and lower levels of output based on how much need is called for by the system. Therefore if it's not in use, it won't be pressurised. This system ensures that wear parts will last twice as long.

An angled bin empties the load completely.

The HM12H-E comes equipped with many standard items that would only be supplied as optional extras with other volumetric concrete mixers.

The new Holcombe volumetric concrete mixer is inclusive of the following

• roll-over sheet
• electronic measuring system
• ticket printer
• friction-less conveyor system 
• hydraulic chute control 
• wireless remote control

The Holcombe volumetric concrete mixer meets the 3 key requirements for high quality volumetric concrete, namely:

1. Consistent conveying of concrete
2. Accurate cement metering
3. Thorough mixing of aggregate, cement and water

Why hire construction equipment from Utranazz Plant Hire Department?

Concrete mixers, batching plants, cement silos, volumetric mixers and truck mounted concrete pumps are all important assets to any construction industry. However, acquisition of such heavy equipment will set a company back quite considerably therefore careful consideration is made on the economical value of each purchase and steps to a ROI (Return on Investment).

Where usage is not likely to surpass the financial investment, then there is the option to hire or to hire with the option to purchase if later deemed necessary.

There are a number of construction equipment plant hire companies in the UK, but not all offer additional support services or a wide enough range of heavy duty concrete equipment to handle different types of building projects.

If you are looking to hire then contact Utranazz Plant Hire division, which offers the largest specialist fleet of concrete equipment in the UK including concrete mixer trucks, cement silos, concrete remixer agitators, reversible drum mixers and batching plants. They supply concrete equipment on hire to some of the UK’s most prestigious construction projects so have a renowned reputation in the industry.

Hire concrete equipment to match construction project requirements

Bespoke equipment can be built for hire to match very demanding and exceptional requirements. Utranazz will work with you to build the type of concrete equipment that will enable you to complete a project in the most practical and economical way possible.

Other plant hire services offered

• A wide variety of construction equipment hire packages including hire-with-option-to-purchase schemes, reduced hire rates for long term hires and guaranteed buy-back plans.

• Certified operator training on any equipment hired. Following successful training outcomes, Utranazz issue an 'Operator Training' certificate as confirmation that operators have attended a course of practical and theoretical training and are qualified to safely use the specified concrete equipment. spare parts and a back-up customer support service for all concrete equipment hired.

• Spare parts and a back-up customer support service for the duration equipment is hired.  Spare parts will be delivered the following day via TNT or DHL.

• Mobile engineers on 24-hour call-out.

• Hired concrete equipment transported to any UK destination at an additional charge via low loaders for weights of up to 20-ton and for smaller loads, beaver tail rigid lorries for weights of up to 7.5-ton. 

Prior to concrete equipment going out on hire from the Utranazz site, it undergoes a full service and pre-delivery inspection. However, in the event of a possible break-down, Utranazz’s spare parts department has partnered with nation-wide delivery couriers to enable delivery of spare parts to you by the next day, minimising any downtime.
