Utranazz launch the Holcombe G2 volumetric mixer
Smart mixer features modular cassette conveyor that can be replaced in less than four hours
CONCRETE equipment specialists Utranazz are launching what is said to be the UK’s smartest volumetric concrete mixer – the Holcombe G2. The 50m3/h output mixer is fitted with a host of intelligent industry-leading features and boasts a patented modular cassette conveyor, enabling conveyor belt changes in less than four hours.
The new mixer features Intellicrete technology which simplifies operations by keeping admixtures perfectly synchronized with the concrete production rate. This ensures precise admixture dosing at every stage. Additionally, the Insightflow cement feed intuitively adjusts cement speed and ensures the sand and stone material gates remain at an optimal opening, ensuring high-quality concrete and no material clogging.
The G2 Water Smart moisture control system is the first and only system in the industry to instantly control slump and hold it from one pour to the next, with dynamic calibration flow control and an electronic proportional water valve. A user-friendly rotary dial allows for precise, automated water adjustments and returns water flow to the last setting.
Changing conveyor belts on volumetric mixers has long been a frustrating and time-consuming task, and is still a major bugbear in the industry. The G2 addresses this with its patented modular cassette conveyor – a slide-out component. Secured by just eight bolts, the entire conveyor assembly slides out from the back of the mixer, allowing for quick and easy replacement. This streamlined process takes less than four hours, keeping downtime to a minimum.
Designed for maximum user-friendliness, the G2 features a 7in colour touchscreen for easy mix design programming, and joystick-operated auger and chute controls for precision control. A safety platform provides secure access to the cement hopper, ensuring operator safety.
Starting in January 2025, Utranazz are offering free, no-obligation live demonstrations of the Holcombe G2. Prospective customers will have the chance to use the G2 on site with their own concrete for an entire day.
