Concrete Mixer for Tunnels Mines - FIORI DB 560T

Transporting concrete inside a low-profile tunnel is the most challenging task in any tunnel construction job. A huge amount of resources, time, labor is spent in this single activity. Here, we will be discussing one specific area - concrete mixer tunnels mines and the FIORI solution for this.

In most of the tunnel projects, concrete is produced at a designated place, outside the tunnels and then will be transported to various points inside the tunnel. Given the height limitation in most of the tunnel projects, moving concrete is done by concrete pumps (stationed outside the tunnel). There are various disadvantages associated with this method such as high levels of wastage of concrete, huge manpower requirement in laying, maintaining the pipeline, concrete choking, etc. Transporting manually using wheelbarrows is another option. In this case, also wastage of concrete, concrete spillage, time, huge labor are the concern areas. This activity increases the overall cost of concrete laying multifold.

These factors gave rise to the need for innovation and thus FIORI designed and developed equipment that addressed all the necessities in Concrete Placement in a Tunnel.

FIORI introduced DB 560 T – A Transit mixer, specially designed for Tunnels.

FIORI DB 560T - concrete mixer tunnels minesis one versatile machine that you should consider incorporating in your project due to its ability to navigate through diverse terrains and narrow spaces. The machine comes with a mixing drum in a self-propelled machine. The overall height of this Mixer is only 3 meters, which makes it very ideal for low-profile tunnels. The drum design ensures transportation of 5.5 m³ of S1 grade concrete, inhomogenous condition, without segregation.
