Customer review of the new HM12H-E volumetric concrete mixer

A brief introduction to the Holcombe volumetric concrete mixer Manufactured by US manufacturer Holcombe Mixers to Utranazz’s specifications, to meet the demands of the UK market. The first Holcombe volumetric concrete mixer to be released from the range is the HM12H-E, which has a carrying capacity of 9.4m3 and output of up to 50m3/hour. It is the simplest volumetric concrete mixer to use and maintain and it allows operators to carry the maximum amount of raw materials permitted. Typically one of the most frustrating things for volumetric concrete mixer users was the time it takes to change a conveyor belt – two days, on average. To address this, the HM12H-E has a patented removable cassette conveyor, which is a slide-out component held in place by eight bolts. Remove the bolts and the entire conveyor assembly slides out of the back of the mixer. A new conveyor cassette is then slid in - all done within about 5 hours.  Another feature of the HM12H-E is its load-sensing variable displacement hydraulic system, which adjust hydraulic output according to need. If the system is not in use, it is not pressurised, and thus wear parts are not made to work unnecessarily. Standard items include: roll-over sheet, electronic measuring system, ticket printer, friction-less conveyor system, hydraulic chute control and wireless remote control. The volumetric concrete mixer can supply all mixes and grades of cement, including screed and mortar. Mixes and grades can be switched from one customer to the next or even halfway through a job if necessary. Feedback on the new HM12H-E volumetric concrete mixer NIGEL LEACH, MANAGING DIRECTOR, KING CONCRETE - CROYDON “I have been operating a fleet of volumetric concrete mixers for 12 years now, so when Utranazz introduced the HM12H-E concrete mixer I decided to give one a try. I’ve worked with Utranazz for many years and I trust their products, which are always of good build quality. The concrete mixer is extremely user friendly and easy to maintain. It has less electronics than other brands of volumetric mixers, which I prefer, as in my experience electronics and concrete don’t mix well! My mixers work hard, and I found the HM12H-E to be reliable day in, day out. Whenever we’ve had any maintenance issues the team at Utranazz are always on hand to give advice and support – their service and back-up is second-to-none. One of the best features of this machine is the removable cassette conveyor, which makes replacing the conveyor belt quick and simple.  I was so impressed with Utranazz’s volumetric concrete mixer that I have just replaced 3 of my Reimer’s with the HM12H-E.”
