The Diverter Valve

Our Agitators were designed in close partnership with our customers with Health, Safety and Production very much in mind. All have wander leads, they come with elevation skids if required and the heartbeat of the machine is the in-house designed Diverter Valve. Hydraulically operated, it eliminates the need for ramps to be built for Truck Mixer deliveries and cuts down on time and more importantly accidents!

We can also supply Valves mounted on independent frames for use in conjunction with Mixers or for differing applications.

Cleaning

The cleaning of excess concrete from inside Agitators is a contentious issue. Due to health and safety reasons we do not authorise anybody other than specially trained operatives entering our mixers.

We want to supply all of our mixers empty of any residue however this is not always possible so we endeavour to have one of our staff on site to check off the weight of the unit on delivery and collection. If this is not possible we will work with you, to provide an exact weight by using your on site lifting facilities, our specialist hauliers or a verified reading from our yard crane. If you are not happy with any of these arrangements please contact our hire desk to discuss.

Due to not allowing our own staff to enter the mixers we use a specialist High Pressure Hydro Jetting contractor to cut the concrete out. This is expensive and our standard charge is £1200 per tonne. To provide absolute transparency we are happy to provide you with the costings to clean a particular mixer.

We do not make money on cleaning charges and would encourage our customers to seek the advice of any specialist contractor to discuss the above. If you have a cheaper way to clean these units please let us know!
