THINK RATIONALLY AND SUSTAINABLY

The cross-mixing system significantly increases the mixing speed and productivity and reduces fuel and labour costs.

For instance, in the production of 1000 m³ of concrete, you save up to 200 litres of fuel and 200 hours of labour. Over two decades, our technology has saved users 9,000,000 hours of labour and 9,000,000 litres of fuel.

FAQ – Frequently asked questions

What is the Modularis Concrete Mixing Bucket and what is it used for?

The Modularis Concrete Mixing Bucket is a tool that can be coupled to work with machines such as excavators, loaders, tractors and telescopic handlers (reach forklifts). It is designed to mix concrete directly on the construction site, which allows fresh concrete to be mixed exactly where it is needed, within a specified time and in a specified quantity. In addition to concrete, it can also mix other materials such as soil, sand and various aggregates. It is also very well suited for the preparation of fodder mixtures for feeding animals on farms and ranches.

How does the Concrete Mixing Bucket work?

Mixing concrete or other mixtures is executed by rotating the mixing element (i.e. the spiral or screw thread), which is fitted in the body of the bucket. The rotation is carried out by a hydraulic drive via a chain transmission, which has been proven to be the most reliable, efficient and safe and requires no special maintenance. The sand or compound is first scooped by the machine and then cement and water are added manually or from a silo while the mixing element is rotating.

How do you attach the Concrete Mixing Bucket to a machine and what machine power is required?

The mixing bucket can be attached to any machine that has at least one hydraulic line (two hoses), either by means of a quick attach plate on the excavator, loader or tractor, or manually if the machine does not have a plate. The bucket requires an operating pressure of at least 170 bar and a hydraulic oil flow of 40 to 150 l/min, depending on the size of the bucket and the machine.

How does the Modularis Concrete Mixing Bucket differ from other solutions?

The Modularis Mixing Bucket uses the patented Cross mixing system® technology, which effectively breaks up lumps in the mix and ensures even mixing of the concrete. This system reduces the power required for mixing and increases the mixing speed, resulting in better concrete quality and increased productivity.

How does the Cross mixing system® technology work?

The Cross mixing system® originates from the design of the mixing element, which consists of two oppositely wound spirals and cross vanes. During rotation, the mixture is forced inside the mixing element and moves rapidly in several directions. This mixes the mixture intensively and reduces the mixing time by 30 % or more, while at the same time reducing the resistance during mixing and thus the power required.

How would you simply explain the difference between cross-mixing and other standard solutions?

The Cross mixing system® technology allows for forced and uniform mixing throughout the entire volume of the trowel, resulting in a significantly higher quality concrete. The shorter mixing time and lower mixing resistance result in significantly lower fuel consumption – 30% or more.

How much time is needed for mixing concrete and how much concrete can be produced per hour?

The mixing time depends on the size of the bucket. For example, a Modularis MMB800/600 mixing bucket can produce between 5 and 8 m³ of concrete in one hour on a robo digger (combine harvester), which means that the entire mixing cycle takes approximately 4 to 8 minutes. The complete cycle includes concrete capture, cement and water addition, mixing and discharging the concrete at the construction site.

How much cement is needed to produce concrete in one bucket?

Cement is added according to the required quality of the concrete. For the production of average quality concrete (Mark 20), 200 kg of cement per 1 m³ of concrete should be added. When mixing with a mixing bucket MMB350/250, 50 kg of cement should be added, and for MMB800/600, 120 kg of cement should be added.

Can we mix dry or earth-moist concrete?

Yes, the Modularis Mixing Bucket can easily mix all types of concrete, including wet concrete. The machine overcomes all necessary resistances at minimum drive motor speed.

How do we determine how much concrete is produced in the bucket?

The mixing volume is the volume measured when the concrete covers the top of the mixing element and the bucket is placed on the support legs. The nominal size of the bucket is the total volume of the bucket, which is usually 30 to 40% greater than the actual mixing volume.

What should we consider when comparing different types of mixing buckets?

The overall volume (nominal size) and the actual mixing volume are important. Modularis always lists both sizes, which allows an accurate comparison between different models.

How do you discharge concrete from the mixing bucket?

The concrete can be directly discharged or emptied through the opening flap at the bottom of the mixing bucket. The flap is opened and closed by a hydraulic cylinder at the bottom of the bucket. The cylinder can be connected directly to the machine (two hydraulic lines are needed – mixing and opening the hatch) or, if the machine does not have two lines, by an additional solenoid/electromagnetic valve.

How many hydraulic connections are needed for the mixing bucket to operate?

A minimum of two connections (one bi-directional line) are needed to turn the motor. If there are four connections on the machine (two hydraulic lines), no additional solenoid valve is needed.

Is the connection plate included with the Mixing Bucket upon delivery?

The Modularis Mixing Bucket is supplied with attachments for front loaders, telehandlers and tractors as standard. A universal adapter for excavators is also attached. Modularis stocks most of the standard attachments for excavators, which are removable and replaceable.

What else do I need to consider when choosing a mixing bucket?

The quality of workmanship and the materials used are important. Modularis has been manufacturing tools for over 20 years in high-strength steels such as Hardox, Sidur and Quard, ensuring long service life and robustness. Modularis has more than 20 years of experience in development and production.

What maintenance does the mixing bucket require?

The tool does not require any special maintenance, apart from regular washing. After the mixing process is completed, the bucket should be thoroughly washed and oiled with form oil to prevent the concrete from sticking during the mixing process. Bearings and seals should be minimally lubricated. The hydraulic system is equipped with a safety valve to protect the tool from overloading.
