MECHANICALLY FED MIXERS - HOPPER FED, REVERSING DRUM MIXERS

Standard Equipment

• Chassis: Heavy duty steel section towable chassis with swiveling front axle and four pneumatic tyred wheels for excellent site mobility. Four jack legs give maximum stability throughout the mixing cycle.
• Drum: Heavy gauge spun and rolled drum with proven paddle design lead to thorough, efficient mixing and long life. Fitted with heavy duty drum rollers and sealed shaft bearings for reliability.
• Driveline: A smooth, reversible drum action, controlled by a single lever, is provided by the heavy duty drive gearbox with oil immersed clutches.
• Water Tank: Automatic filling and manually controlled, measured volume discharge. Amount of water discharged is pre-set by a pointer over a graduated scale on the reservoir. Also available with flowmeter in lieu of water tank.
• Feed Hopper: Hydraulically operated loading hopper with high discharge angle ensures rapid and clean feed of materials into drum.
• Engine: Lister Petter hand/electric start air cooled diesel engine or 3-phase electric motor.

Optional Equipment

• Batchweigher: The Winget Batchweigher is designed around a mechanical parallel link which ensures that when the feed hopper is lowered into the loading position, it rests precisely against a hydraulic load-cell located on the mixer chassis. This system provides constantly accurate weight control of the materials fed into the hopper regardless of load distribution. A large weigh dial clearly calibrated in 5kg (11Ib) increments gives the operator an accurate and progressive readout. Weighing is further assisted by a reset facility and three adjustable markers which can be preset for each type of aggregate.
• Dragline Feeder: The Dragline Aggregate Feeder maximizes output from Winget hopper-fed mixers by enabling one man to keep the mixer continuously charged with materials. A powered feed shovel, under direct operator control through a switch on the shovel handle, is drawn towards the mixer on a wire rope operated by a hydraulic winch. The filled shovel is then discharged easily into the feed hopper.
• Feed Apron: A converging steel ramp provides a direct path for the dragline feed shovel up to the feed hopper, greatly simplifying hopper charging. Dividing partitions keep coarse and fine aggregates separated. The feed apron also prevents aggregate from building up underneath the feed hopper, ensuring batchweigher accuracy by eliminating discrepancies which may otherwise result from material ‘build-up’.
• Discharge Cones: Discharge Extension cones give greater discharge clearance; available in steel and rubber. They enable accurate discharge into placing vehicle without spillage.
