Concrete Mixer
A laboratory concrete mixer machine is a specialized piece of equipment designed for preparing small batches of concrete, mortar, cement, grout, or asphalt in controlled environments like research labs or quality control facilities. Unlike large-scale construction mixers, these are compact, precise tools used for mix design testing, specimen preparation, and evaluating material properties (e.g., strength, consistency, and additives) to ensure compliance with standards such as ASTM C109, C227, C305, AASHTO T 106, EN, and ISO. They provide uniform mixing for reproducible results, often with features like adjustable speeds, digital controls, and easy discharge mechanisms.

Discription
Laboratory mixers come in various designs, each suited to specific batch sizes and materials. Here’s a comparison table of common types based on popular models:-
MODEL | TYPE | CAPACITY (BATCH/MIXING) | KEY FEATURES | TYPICAL USE CASES |
BE 65-01 | Pan Mixer | 5-130 L Mixing | Planetary gearing for quiet operation; interchangeable paddles; wheels for portability. | Mortar/cement testing; low-slump concrete. |
BE 65-02 | Drum Mixer | 40-125 L Yield | Tilting drum with blades; manual rotation option; galvanized steel for durability. | Mix design trials; small asphalt batches. |
BE 65-03 | Twin-Shaft Batch Mixer | 60 L scaled-down | High-shear mixing for uniform blends; emulates production-scale results. | Research on demanding concretes; quality control. |
BE 65-04 | Portable/Bucket Mixer | 5-38 | LRugged metal build; 1/6-1/2 HP motor; adjustable speeds (140-285 RPM) | Field/lab portability; soil/cement mixing. |
BE 65-05 | Intensive/Ring-Pan Mixer | Varies 60 L | Whirling system for homogenizing tough mixes; digital controls. | High-performance concrete R&D. |
