Metalgalante - Carmix Bagger-The Carmix Bagger speeds up mobile concrete production

The Carmix Bagger is a new, mini-silo from Italian mobile concrete mixing specialist Metalgalante Carmix. Compatible with all Carmix machines, and designed to improve productivity, the silo has a capacity of 3m3.

As well as speeding up the loading process, the Carmix Bagger ensures accuracy of mix production, says Metalgalante Carmix. The machine includes a load-cell which weighs the quality of materials loaded which means that both big and normal-sized bags of cement can be used.

After loading, a feed screw carries the contents into a Carmix batching plant. The whole process is fully autonomous with each operation controlled by a hydraulic motor, fed by an engine. This means that the Carmix Bagger can be used in worksites where there is no electric power.

“By using our self-loading mixers with the bagger, we can optimise efficiency on the jobsite,” said Manuela Galante, marketing director at Metalgalante Carmix.

According to the manufacturer, using the Bagger can reduce cement loading time by up to 50% compared to manual bag loading. Where big bags are used, this system also has environmental benefits, reducing the generation of dust and making the working environment healthier.
