Here's What Sets the Zim-Mixer Apart

What makes the Zim-Mixer the industry's top choice?

 
As the original inventor of the volumetric concrete mixer, Zimmerman is the only manufacturer offering the patented dual chain feed system and optional hydraulic telescopic chutes. Add in 100% US manufacturing, a 2,000+ part stocked warehouse, and 24/7 online ordering, and you get a business partner built to keep your operation moving.

Why choose volumetric over a traditional drum truck?

Maximum Control, Zero Waste. A Zim-Mixer mixes fresh concrete directly on-site, allowing you to produce the exact yardage you need and adjust slump or mix designs in real time. Need to pause mid-pour? Stop and restart the flow anytime without sacrificing concrete quality.

How does a Zim-Mixer benefit my bottom line?

 
Zim-Mixers cut waste and improve efficiency for producers and purchasers alike. Purchasers only pay for what they use, while producers reduce wasted material and can operate from a smaller footprint than a batch plant requires.

Does volumetric mixing really produce better concrete?

 
Independent VMMB testing found that concrete from a volumetric mixer achieved a higher PSI than the same mix delivered from a drum truck. Because it's mixed fresh on-site rather than sitting in transit, a Zim-Mixer is built to deliver consistently higher-quality results.

Does financing make owning a Zim-Mixer more accessible?

 
Yes. Zimmerman Industries offers flexible lease and loan options with competitive rates, so you can add a Zim-Mixer to your fleet without tying up your working capital. Financing packages are customized to fit your business's cash flow, making ownership more attainable whether you're a growing concrete producer or adding volumetric capability for the first time. Available to customers in the U.S. and Canada.
