Mixing system performance on a different planet

Rapid International is back at INTERMAT for the first time in 12 years with a focus on its Rapid Planetary Mixer. Designed and manufactured in Ireland by Rapid International, the mixer provides “innovation, productivity, pioneering, quality to the manufacture of concrete, in particular architectural precast products, construction and environmental industries”, said Jarlath Gilmore, sales and marketing director. There are seven models in the planetary range with output capacities ranging from 0.375m3 to 3m3

Designed and manufactured in Ireland by Rapid International, the mixer provides “innovation, productivity, pioneering, quality to the manufacture of concrete, in particular architectural precast products, construction and environmental industries”, said Jarlath Gilmore, sales and marketing director.

There are seven models in the planetary range with output capacities ranging from 0.375m 3 to 3m 3


“With more concrete produced per hour, we are finding Planetary customers increase production and significantly enhance bottom lines,” said Gilmore.

The mixer, motor and gearbox situated on top of the mixer provides ideal access for maintenance and, with standard equipment featuring durable wear sleeves and paddles, the Planetary mixing action consistently produces quality concrete and is ideally suited for mixing semi-dry coloured concrete.

    Fayat’s new COMPACT asphalt mixing plant creates a continuous flow of multipurpose product, including cold, warm and hot mix. The new plant ensures optimum energy management when mixing aggregates while maintaining the ability to recycle materials according to typology. The feed is conventional into the dryer tube for virgin materials – and into the continuous mixer, or both, for recycled materials. Bitumen is introduced into the Retroflux or Recyclean dryer tube, or into the mixer, far away from the flame.
