What is a volumetric concrete mixer?
A volumetric concrete mixer is a concrete batching unit located in a mixer truck. It is filled with raw materials such as cement, sand, water and any aggregates which are mixed to produce the specification and volume of concrete required for a project.

Benefits of using a volumetric concrete mixer
The benefits of using a volumetric concrete mixer are:
- You only pay for what you use – the volumetric concrete mixer produces the concrete on site to the exact volume you need. The digital meter inside the volumetric concrete mixer tells us how much has been used and this is all you pay for
- Zero waste – because we only batch-produce the volume of concrete you need, there is no waste which keeps your site clean and is better for the environment
- Flexibility – the mix of concrete can be changed on site to accommodate the requirements of the project. This might be because of changes on site or to produce specific mixes for different parts of the job
- Fresh concrete – the concrete is used straight after it is produced which enhances its quality and optimises its working properties. Traditional concrete can degrade during transport
- Project efficiency – there is no need for additional deliveries which keeps project costs and timescales on track.
