Example: Manufacturing concrete mixers made of Hardox(R) wear-resistant steel plates.

The new lightweight concrete mixer made of 3mm thick wear-resistant steel plate is bringing significant cost savings to users.

One of Europe's leading concrete mixer manufacturers, Intermix, places the utmost importance on innovation, flexibility, and quality. For truck mixers, keeping the empty weight to a minimum is critically important for business operations. Weight reduction leads to increased maximum payload, as well as cost savings on fuel, tires, fees, and taxes. Furthermore, in some countries, companies can comply with regulations regarding empty weight and total weight through weight reduction. [Challenges] - Concrete is heavy at 2.4 tons per cubic meter, so we want to improve both maximum payloads. ~Using Hardox® wear-resistant steel plates for concrete mixer components~ 1. Using 3mm thick Hardox® wear-resistant steel plates for the concrete drum and internal mixing blades. 2. Enables a structural weight reduction of 18%. 3. The lifespan of the concrete mixer remains unchanged even with reduced thickness. Considering the significant interest in various countries, including Germany, we expect to increase sales in a large part of the European market in the near future. *For more details, please contact us or download the PDF materials for review.
