UHPC Mixing Equipment for Concrete towers

In the concrete tower production process, the quality of the mixing stage directly determines the performance and durability of the final product. Conventional mixing equipment often fails to meet the stringent uniformity and fiber dispersion requirements of ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC), creating a bottleneck in improving production efficiency and quality.

To address this industry pain point, the CO-NELE vertical planetary mixer, with its innovative planetary mixing technology and superior performance, provides a perfect solution for concrete tower production.

This equipment utilizes a unique “revolution + rotation” dual motion mode to ensure seamless mixing of materials. It achieves highly uniform dispersion even for high-viscosity cementitious materials or easily agglomerated steel fibers, precisely matching the mixing requirements of UHPC

Core Product Advantages

The CO-NELE vertical planetary mixer combines advanced technology with superior design, offering the following key advantages:

Excellent Mixing Uniformity: This equipment utilizes a unique “revolution + rotation” planetary mixing principle. The mixing blades simultaneously orbit around the main shaft and rotate during mixing. This complex, combined motion ensures the mixing path covers the entire mixing drum, achieving truly seamless mixing.

Wide Material Compatibility: This mixer efficiently handles a wide range of materials, from dry, semi-dry, and plastic to highly fluid and even lightweight (aerated) materials. It is not only suitable for standard concrete but is also specifically designed for challenging materials such as UHPC, fiber-reinforced concrete, and self-compacting concrete.

Energy-Efficient and Durable: The equipment utilizes a hardened gear reducer for low noise, high torque, and exceptional durability. Its low energy consumption and use of highly wear-resistant materials ensure stable performance even under long-term, high-intensity production conditions, significantly reducing operating costs.

Flexible production layout: The Coenel vertical planetary mixer has a compact design and flexible layout. It can be used as a stand-alone machine or as a main mixer to be well integrated into the layout of an automated production line. The equipment can be flexibly equipped with 1-3 discharge doors to meet the needs of different production lines.
Concrete Mixing Tower Production Process

Integrating a CO-NELE planetary mixer into a concrete mixing tower production line significantly improves production efficiency and product quality:

Raw Material Preparation and Metering: Raw materials such as cement, silica fume, fine aggregate, and fiber are precisely metered. A high-precision metering system is essential for ensuring final product quality, with a metering accuracy of ±0.5%.

High-Efficiency Mixing Stage: After the raw materials enter the CO-NELE vertical planetary mixer, they undergo multiple mixing processes, experiencing shear, tumbling, extrusion, and interacting “kneading” forces, resulting in highly uniform mixing. This process completely eliminates industry challenges such as fiber clumping and material segregation.

Mixing Tower Component Forming: The uniformly mixed UHPC material is conveyed to the forming section for the manufacture of high-performance concrete components. Excellent material uniformity ensures consistent and reliable component performance.

Curing and Finishing: The formed concrete components undergo a curing process, ultimately resulting in ultra-high-performance concrete products widely used in various high-standard construction projects.

CO-NELE vertical planetary mixers, with their superior technical performance and wide applicability, have become the ideal choice for concrete batching operations. Their unique planetary mixing principle, efficient mixing performance, and reliable quality assurance make them a core piece of equipment for producing all types of high-performance concrete.

Choosing a CO-NELE vertical planetary mixer is more than just choosing a piece of equipment; it\’s choosing a comprehensive solution that ensures product quality, improves production efficiency, and reduces operating costs.

To date, CO-NELE vertical planetary mixers have served over 10,000 companies worldwide and have established long-term partnerships with numerous industry leaders.
