Rapid International introduced the Trakmix, a fully mobile track-mounted mixing plant, during a series of demonstrations held at a sustainable cement factory in South Wales.

Introduction

Rapid International unveiled their new track-mounted mobile mixing plant, the Trakmix, designed to offer a flexible and efficient solution for high-volume mixing across various construction and environmental applications.

The Problem

There was a growing need for a mobile continuous mixing plant that could be transported easily without requiring special permits. Customers also wanted a machine that could offer variable output options and adapt to different site environments and materials.

What Work Was Carried Out

The Trakmix was developed with a fully self-contained design mounted on tracks, including an onboard generator to maximize mobility. It features a high-capacity twin shaft mixer capable of producing up to 250 tonnes per hour, paired with a 12 cubic meter aggregate hopper divided for two types of aggregates. The plant’s advanced control system weighs all materials accurately, including cement through a double hopper system, and meters water with flow measurement. It also incorporates practical design elements like low-friction linings for easy cleaning and conveyors for efficient discharge.

The Results

This new plant offers reliable, homogenous mixing suited to a wide range of binders and powders used in projects such as road construction, ground works, environmental stabilization, and recycling. Its mobility and flexible design allow operators to move and set up quickly on varied sites, meeting different project demands without hassle.

Closing Note

The Trakmix represents a practical step forward for delivering high-quality mixes on the move, blending performance with ease of use for a broad spectrum of construction needs.
