POLYESTER MIXERS

Zimmerman Industries is the sole maker of polyester concrete mixers, producing a two-part binder system used in road overlays as a cement alternative for fine and coarse aggregates.

CONCRETE SOLUTIONS

 This volumetric concrete mixer is designed for polyester concrete, used for infrastructure repair (bridge and deck overlays). The polyester concrete is flexible and impervious to water. This volumetric concrete mixing truck passed all requirements of the State of California Department of Transportation (CALTRANS).

The First Polyester Concrete Mixer

Zimmerman Industries was contracted to build a unit to produce a new product that was being tested as a road overlay – polyester concrete. The unit had to meet the mounting and delivery requirements of the chemical pump manufacturer, thoroughly mix the material, and pass the stringent requirements of the State of California Department of Transportation (CALTRANS). The customization included changes to the unit configuration; mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic and electrical systems; and designing/programming a digital recording and monitoring system.


The custom concrete mixer was designed, built and delivered to the customer site in California. The unit was calibrated in conjunction with the pump manufacturer, and configured to deliver the product desired. Once this was accomplished, the unit was taken to the CALTRANS project and was subjected to their vigorous testing measures. The Polyester Concrete Mixer passed all the requirements of CALTRANS. After passing the CALTRANS test, the mixer was put into service immediately.
