Review of concrete mixers PROFMASH

During construction, the most important stage is the creation of the foundation. This process is very responsible and difficult, requiring a lot of physical effort. Concrete mixers make this task much easier. Among the manufacturers who are engaged in the production of this equipment, one can single out the domestic company PROFMASH.

The PROFMASH manufacturer is engaged in the production of construction and garage-service equipment. The company offers a large selection of concrete mixers, which differ in tank volume, engine power, dimensions and many other indicators. The equipment has good build quality, high-quality coating that protects against corrosion, and its compact dimensions make it maneuverable. All models do their job perfectly and have an affordable price. In some versions, a gear drive is provided, which significantly increases the safety of use. Such options have an increased efficiency, during operation they emit minimal noise.

For the manufacture of the tank, metal with a thickness of up to 2 mm is used. The built-in toothed belt drive eliminates slipping when loosening the tension and is characterized by increased wear resistance. In the event of a breakdown, thanks to the four-piece design of the polyamide rim, the segment can always be replaced. During operation, electrical safety is ensured by double insulation of the wiring.

Such dimensions make it possible to carry it even through the doorways of the room. The wheels have a diameter of 350 mm, and the weight of the model is 48 kg. The prepared solution is discharged by manual tipping. The volume of the tank is 130 liters, while the volume of the batch obtained is 65 liters. The model operates on a 220 V network, and the power consumption is no more than 850 W.

Electric concrete mixer PROFMASH B-140 is made of polyamide and weighs 41 kg. Equipped with a tank with a capacity of 120 liters, the volume of the final product is 60 liters. It has a poly-V drive and a polyamide crown. The design parameters are:

• length - 110 cm;
• width - 69.5 cm;
• height - 121.2 cm.

The model is very easy to transport thanks to the wheels with a diameter of 160 mm. The entire structure is powder coated and designed for outdoor use in various conditions. The tank is made of high-strength steel up to 2 mm thick. It emits minimal noise during operation.

The PROFMASH B-160 model performs up to 20,000 cycles if the rules of use are followed. The equipment is equipped with a tank with a capacity of 140 liters, and the amount of finished batch is 70 liters. Power consumption - no more than 700 watts. The design has a steering wheel tipping method with 7-position fixation. The concrete mixer has the following dimensions:

• length - 110 cm;
• width - 69.5 cm;
• height - 129.6 cm.

The model is made of polyamide and weighs 43 kg.

PROFMASH b-120 has a cast-iron crown and a manual overturning mechanism. Its dimensions are:

• length -110.5 cm;
• width - 109.5 cm;
• height - 109.3 cm.

Weighs 38.5 kg. The mixing time is 120 seconds. The blades are bolted to the body. Power consumption is no more than 550 watts. The volume of the tank is 98 liters, and the volume of the finished solution is at least 40 liters.

The concrete mixer PROFMASH B 200 has the following dimensions:

• length - 121 cm;
• width - 70 cm;
• height - 136 cm.

The equipment is equipped with a tank with a capacity of 175 liters, the volume of the ready-made solution is 115 liters. During operation, it consumes no more than 850 watts of power. The concrete mixer has a toothed belt drive. The crown can be made in 2 versions: from polyamide or cast iron. With a polyamide crown, the concrete is mixed with minimal noise. The device has a welded bracket. The diameter of the wheels is 16 cm. The drive shaft is connected to the large gear with a key. This eliminates the risk of gear turning even under heavy loads. The emptying of the tank with the solution is dosed, it is done by foot.

PROFMASH B-220 is equipped with a tank with a capacity of 190 liters, the volume of the ready-made solution is 130 liters. During operation, the power consumption does not exceed 850 watts. The dimensions of the model are:

• length - 121 cm;
• width - 70 cm;
• height -138.2 cm.

This design can be made in 2 versions: from polyamide or cast iron. The polyamide model weighs 54.5 kg, and the cast iron model weighs 58.5 kg. The diameter of the wheels is 16 cm. Due to the wide-section toothed drive belt, there is no slipping moment at different stages of the belt operation. The absence of jerks during turning on and off the equipment provides the belt with a long service life. This equipment can be operated in severe conditions for a long time, since it has a resource of up to 20,000 cycles with proper adherence to the rules of use.

During the commissioning of a concrete mixer, it is necessary to strictly adhere to some rules.

• The structure must be correctly installed and fixed on a level surface in order to exclude its vibrations and overturning. It is also better to immediately provide a place for unloading the solution.
• To prevent the adhesion of dry sand and cement to the walls of the mixer, it is necessary to moisten the inner surface of the tank with liquid cement milk. First, 50% of the volume of sand is poured, then gravel and cement. Water is added last.
• Stirring continues until the solution becomes homogeneous. Its unloading is carried out only in a cross-over method, in no case should a shovel or other metal accessories be used.
• At the end of the work, you need to take water into the container and turn on the concrete mixer, rinse the inside well, then disconnect the device and dry it.

The owners, in their reviews of PROFMASH concrete mixers, note that this technique is quite powerful and productive, and thanks to a special coating, corrosion is not observed.Concrete mixers are easy to use, and the wheels allow you to move them with ease from place to place. During operation, a minimum noise level is emitted, which allows them to be used for a long time.

Due to reliable insulation, electric shock is excluded. All models perfectly cope with their task, mix concrete homogeneously, and most importantly, differ in affordable cost. From negative reviews, it can be noted that the power cord is rather short, which causes some inconvenience during operation.
