Twin shaft mixers are becoming more of a fixture in concrete production. Companies purchasing twin shaft mixers cite reasons ranging from their intense mixing action through overall cost savings. Regardless of the reason concrete producers are purchasing these twin shaft mixers, it has become evident that they are vastly superior to the older tilt mixers once a staple in mixed concrete production.

The innovative design of most twin shaft mixers has intense mixing action that continually generates a uniform mix with material of any weight ensuring a thorough mixing in the specified time even when filled to capacity. This allows concrete producers to mix a full batch without extra mixing time, resulting in faster and increased production.
Among the strongest arguments to update to a twin shaft mixer is the cost savings associated. Twin shaft mixers typically pay for themselves in a few short years because of cement savings. The quick and thorough mixing allows for the use of less cement in the mix, while still producing high quality concrete.
Using a twin shaft mixer allows for increased production speed. Most twin shaft mixers use a spiral mixing action that throws particles from the sides fo the mixer to the center, where they combine; water is added through jets into the mix where it is absorbed, enabling the cement slurry to coat all the aggregate particles evenly to for the strongest concrete, all with a shorter mixing time than traditional mixers.
The Ocmix RG twin shaft mixer is manufactured by Ocmer Grandi Impianti in Campogalliano Italy. They use Italian made ni-hard iron with certified minimum HB 600 hardness for the liner plates and paddles. This ensures the best strength and longest wear. Innovative designes like the no-collar and one-sized-fits-all mixer arm design minimize spare parts and makes replacement simpler. The covers on the liner plate fasteners are welded nuts allowing for liner replacement without accessing the underside of the mixer.
The shaft seals of the Ocmix RG twin shaft mixer separate it from others in its class. The unique two lip seals form a positive seal against concrete inside the mixer. This results in a much reduced total grease consumption (only 100 grams), which reduces cost maintenance, downtime and prolongs the life of the mixer.
The Ocmix RG twin shaft mixer is manufactured by Ocmer and is reasonably prices. The mixer allows for features like aggregate bypass, piggyback feed systems and high pressure washout systems. Couples with a 5 year /10,000 hour gearbox guarantee from Ocmer, the Ocmix RG twin shaft mixer is one of the best priced twin shaft mixers available.
