Eco Readymix upgraded their batching plant with a new Rapid R3000 pan concrete mixer, doubling output and providing more consistent and precise mixing.
Introduction
Eco Readymix, a major UK supplier of ready-mix concrete, mortar, and floor screed, needed a mixer that could keep up with growing demand at their Ellesmere Port facility. They chose Rapid International’s R3000 pan mixer to boost production and improve batching quality.
The Problem
The company experienced increased demand and sought a more efficient mixer than their existing smaller model. They wanted a machine that could handle larger volumes while producing a uniform, high-quality mix.
What Was Done
Rapid supplied and installed the R3000, which produces 3 cubic meters per batch, doubling the output compared to the previous mixer. Its design keeps all materials moving constantly in multiple directions, ensuring thorough mixing. The mixer also includes durable wear parts and spring-tensioned mixing arms for safety. Eco Readymix added a Rapid Jetwash cleaning system to reduce maintenance by preventing material buildup.
Results
The new mixer allowed Eco Readymix to increase truck turnover and improve batching consistency. Customers have noticed the uniform quality. The company also appreciates the system’s durability and the reliable support from Rapid throughout the purchase and installation process.
Closing Note
Eco Readymix remains confident in their choice, noting the long-lasting performance of Rapid mixers compared to other brands they have tried, and value the strong partnership with Rapid International.
