Durability and Efficiency
Modularis mixing buckets offer unrivalled reliability and performance. Their “cross-mixing system” significantly improves mixing speed, increases productivity and reduces fuel and labour costs. In particular, when producing 1000 m3 of concrete, you save 200 litres of fuel and 200 hours of labour. Over two decades, this technology has saved our customers 9,000,000 hours of labour and 9,000,000 litres of fuel, demonstrating its significant contribution to efficient construction practices.
Excellent mixing system
- Cross Mixing System: Mixes sand, cement, and water in 4 directions, reducing mixing time by 30%. Ensures a thorough blend for faster and more efficient concrete production.
- Fuel and Time Savings: Produces 1000 m3 of concrete with 200 liters less fuel and saves 200 working hours. Efficient and cost-effective solution.
- Ultra-Fast Production: The mixing process takes just 2–3 minutes, ensuring swift and high-quality results.
Usability of concrete mixing bucket
Use your machine and mix concrete anywhere!
- Significant faster mixing
- Forced flow of concrete in four directions during the mixing process
- No accumulation of concrete in the middle or on the sides during mixing
- It is not necessery to reverse the rotation direction during mixing process
FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
Mixing concrete or other mixtures is carried out by the rotation of the mixing element (spiral, auger), which is housed within the bucket. The rotation is powered by a hydraulic drive through a chain transmission, which is proven to be the most reliable, efficient, and safe, and requires no special maintenance. Sand or the mixture is loaded up by the machine, and then cement and water are added manually or from a silo during the rotation of the mixing element.
The Mixing Bucket can be attached to any machine that has at least one hydraulic line (two connection hoses) using a quick-hitch plate on the excavator, loader, or tractor, or manually if the machine does not have a plate. The bucket requires a working 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.
The Modularis Mixing Bucket uses patented “Cross mixing system” technology, which ensures uniform concrete mixing and effectively breaks up clumps in the mixture. This system reduces the power needed for mixing and increases the mixing speed, resulting in better concrete quality and higher productivity.
The cross-mixing system is based on the design of the mixing element, which consists of two oppositely wound spirals and transverse blades. During rotation, the mixture is forcibly pushed inside the mixing element and rapidly moves in multiple directions. This intensively mixes the mixture and shortens the mixing time by 30% or more, while also reducing the resistance during mixing and thus the required power.
The “Cross mixing system” technology allows for forced and uniform mixing throughout the entire volume of the bucket, ensuring significantly higher quality concrete. Due to the shorter mixing time and lower resistance during mixing, significantly less fuel is consumed – up to 30% or more.
The mixing time depends on the size of the bucket. For example, with the Modularis MMB800/600 mixing bucket on a backhoe loader, you can produce 5 to 8 m³ of concrete per hour, meaning that the entire mixing cycle takes about 4 to 8 minutes. The entire cycle includes loading the sand, adding cement and water, mixing during the filling, and discharging the concrete at the site.
Cement is added according to the quality of the concrete. To produce average quality concrete “Grade 20”, 200 kg of cement per 1 m³ of concrete is needed. For mixing with the MMB350/250 bucket, 50 kg of cement is required, and for the MMB800/600, 120 kg of cement.
Yes, the Modularis Mixing Bucket can easily mix all types of concrete, including earth-moist. It overcomes all necessary resistance at minimal engine RPM.
The mixing volume is determined when the concrete covers the top of the mixing element and the bucket is placed on support legs. The nominal size of the bucket is the total volume of the bucket, which is usually 30 to 40% larger than the actual mixing volume.
Important factors are the total volume (nominal size) and the actual mixing volume. Modularis always states both sizes, which allows for precise comparison between different models.
Concrete can be discharged directly or through an opening gate at the bottom of the bucket. The gate is opened and closed by a hydraulic cylinder at the bottom of the bucket. The cylinder can be connected directly to the machine (requiring two hydraulic lines – mixing and opening the gate) or with an additional solenoid valve if the machine does not have two lines.
At least two connections are required for the rotation of the motor (one bidirectional line). If the machine has four connections (two hydraulic lines), an additional solenoid valve is not needed.
In the standard delivery, the Modularis Mixing Bucket is equipped with attachments for front loaders, telescopic handlers, and tractors. A universal adapter for excavators is also included. Modularis stocks most standard couplings for excavators, which are detachable and interchangeable.
The quality of construction and the materials used are important. Modularis has been producing tools from highly resistant steel, such as Hardox, Sidur, and Quard, for over 20 years, ensuring long service life and robustness.
The tool requires no special maintenance except for regular cleaning. After mixing, the bucket needs to be thoroughly washed and oiled with formwork oil to prevent concrete from sticking during mixing. Bearings and seals need minimal lubrication. The hydraulic system is equipped with a safety valve that protects the tool from overload.
Modularis provides a 3-year warranty on all components and materials with prescribed use.
