As for the drum, its volume is 160 liters, 110 - effective. The maximum rotation speed is 30 rpm, one portion of the mixture is made in 5 minutes. Robust construction and quality components make this concrete mixer reliable with a long service life. It is worth noting the increased level of resistance to various physical loads during operation.

B-120E is a reliable unit of low power and high performance. The presence of a polyamide crown makes the work more stable, high-quality and at the same time less noisy. This part consists of four sectors, and any one can be replaced, which is convenient during operation. The design has an induction motor with a copper winding, thanks to which the unit can operate at particularly high temperatures.Their maximum performance can exceed by 75 degrees those in which the concrete mixer is operated.

The drum has a capacity of 120 liters, of which 60 are effective. Power consumption no more than 600 W, nominal useful for the engine - 370 W. The time for preparing a portion of the mixture is 4 minutes, the maximum drum rotation speed is 27 rpm. The diameter of the wheels is 160 mm, the weight is 46 kg. Small dimensions make not only transportation much easier, but also full transportation.

BS-200E is a powerful unit that is most suitable for medium and high volume operation. Unlike other models, this equipment has an electric motor with a rated power of 900 W. The sound pressure level is 95 dB, the volume of the drum is 200 liters, and 140 of them are effective. High-quality electrical equipment allows you to prepare one large portion of the mixture in 6 minutes.

The drum rotation speed is 30 rpm, weight is 59 kg. It is worth noting the presence of a special protective casing that prevents various objects from entering the inside of the device. The increased service life was made possible by the use of a ring gear made of high quality cast iron.

BS-121E is a low-power unit, which is designed to perform small-volume work in a domestic environment. As for the electric motor used, its rated power is 550 W. The total volume of the drum is 125 liters, effective - 90. The sound pressure level is the same with the previous presented model and is equal to 95 dB. The rotation speed of the drum is 24 rpm, the diameter of the loading window is 39 cm.

It takes 5 minutes to make one portion of the mixture, the original design of the fixing unit is used, which increases the safety of the working process, and also reduces its labor intensity. The symmetrical design makes this concrete mixer stable, and the casing covers the inside of the machine and protects it from physical damage.
