In large-scale construction projects—from urban metro systems to high-rise residential towers—consistent, on-demand concrete supply is no longer just a logistical challenge; it's a critical success factor. Traditional fixed batching plants often fall short when site access is limited or continuous pouring is required. That’s where self-loading concrete mixers like the AIMIX AS-5.5 come into play—not as a luxury, but as a strategic advantage.
Modern construction sites demand flexibility and speed. According to industry benchmarks, a typical fixed mixing station can produce around 15–20 m³/h under optimal conditions—but only if raw materials are pre-staged and traffic flows smoothly. In contrast, the AIMIX AS-5.5 delivers up to 22 m³/h with full autonomy, thanks to its integrated loading mechanism that eliminates dependency on external loaders or trucks.
Its 5.5 m³ capacity per batch allows for rapid delivery cycles, especially valuable during night shifts or tight deadlines. For example, in a recent project at Dubai Metro Phase 3, engineers reported a 37% reduction in downtime due to material handling delays after switching from traditional drum trucks to self-fed models.
Equipment Type | Avg. Output (m³/h) | Best Use Case |
---|---|---|
Fixed Batching Plant | 15–20 | Large, stable sites with long durations |
Standard Transit Mixer | 8–12 | Mid-sized projects with reliable access |
AIMIX AS-5.5 Self-Fed Mixer | 22+ | Narrow spaces, urgent pours, remote locations |
At a 40-story tower complex in Singapore, the contractor faced daily delays averaging 2.5 hours due to inefficient concrete logistics. After deploying three AIMIX AS-5.5 units, they achieved:
This case highlights how mobile equipment isn’t just about convenience—it’s about redefining what’s possible in constrained environments.
