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.

    January 6, 2017
    Sateco says its new detensioning spacer unit is a world first for the construction industry. The product is fitted with a side nut that acts as a valve, releasing the force acting on the formwork rod after concrete has dried. When the side nut is manoeuvred, the detensioning spacer unit is moved, thus releasing the pressure acting on the main nut. The main nut is then easier to unscrew, allowing faster and less strenuous form removal. Product designers at France-based Sateco came up with the detensionsing s
