Ribbon agitator MX

Blend concrete agitators are designed for use inside tunnels. The constant and homogeneous mixing of the materials is guaranteed by a high efficiency Hardox mixer in the hopper, and is powered by a diesel or electric engine mounted on board. Blend Plants supplied six concrete agitators, transported by wagons trains, for the construction of the two-pipe tunnel (15.4 km each) of Monte Ceneri in Switzerland. The first positive test, carried out on April 28, 2017, permitted the construction start in July 2017. Due to the shape of the tunnel and the particular laying technique used, the MX08 agitator was specially developed by Blend for GCF in order to speed up casting operations, in compliance with the client’s safety requirements, ensuring quality concrete. The works, completed in 2020, significantly contribute to reduce travel times from Milan to Zurich.
