Air Mizer® Complete Shaft Seal
(4)
The Inpro/Seal Air Mizer® is a permanent shaft seal that uses a positive purge along the shaft to create an effective seal – preventing product or harmful emissions from escaping into the atmosphere and contamination from entering the vessel. The patented non-contacting, non-wearing Air Mizer® is maintenance free, designed to last the lifetime of your equipment, and provides an effective shaft seal for powders, liquids, slurries, and bulk solids.

The HTS 042-001-01 system is an electronic device based on a micro controller which allows to monitor the MAO mixer. Its function is to help with the running and the maintenance of the mixer. This device signals possible errors/anomalies which might occur during working in order to make intervention easier.
When the system acknowledges a problem, it signals it at the same time in three different ways:
• Warning lights which are integrated in the graphics
• Message displayed on LCD
• Binary error codes on micro relay which give the possibility to transfer, by means of special cabling, this information to a remote control console.
The HTS 042-001-01 system has furthermore two meters by which the working hours and the production cycles of the mixer are monitored. This information allows the system to run a memorandum which signals the necessity of any kind of servicing.
The internal memory allows a constant recording of the work done by the mixer. This system has furthermore two USB ports which allow the connection of memory devices (such as USD memory sticks) and the connection to a Personal Computer.

Metal Fiber Dispenser
Sicoma's fiber dispenser is the latest in methods of adding fiber to concrete. It accepts bulk fiber and dispenses it by weight through the exit chute into a mixer or holding hopper. Various sizes and models are available, depending on the type of fiber and volume to be dispensed.
The dispenser is first filled with bulk fiber. The bottom of the loading hopper is a cleated belt that teases the fiber and feeds it slowly to the rotating comb drum; this in turn separates the individual fibers and throws them into the discharge chute.
The whole dispensing hopper sits on load cells, allowing the dispenser plus fiber load to be weighed. The required amount of fiber is dispensed by loss-of-weight, based on the concrete batch size being made.
The whole dispenser can be controlled from a batch controller as part of the batching process, allowing the fiber to be proportioned in any ratio desired, according to the batch formula. Most automation systems also have the capability to select fiber/no fiber from the formula, eliminating operator errors
PiggyBack Batch Feeding System
Create a new batch plant quickly or retrofit an existing plant with the assurance of a proven design; Sicoma's piggyback system fits right on top of the mixer. It gives you an aggregate holding hopper or scale, cement scale and water tank or scale, all perfectly tailored to the mixer.
Features:
• Range of models to suit all MAO mixer sizes.
• Designed to give fastest discharge, ensuring fastest mixing cycle times and highest production per hour.
• Hopper sizes are perfect for the mixer - no design work required; guaranteed success.
• Frame bolts into standard mounting holes in mixer frame - installed easily and quickly.
• Load cells and discharge gates included. Just add solenoid valves.
• When ordered with mixer, cover is prepared with connection flanges and boots.
• Sicoma mixer frame has the extra strength to take the extra static and dynamic load of this structure - both convenient and a safe structural design.
• Matching bins, silos, aggregate scale and conveyor can be supplied.
To obtain the fastest mixing cycles and maximum throughput for the size of mixer, it is essential to feed the mixer at high speed. This makes a skip hoist or holding hopper essential if the plant is a low profile design with aggregate scale at ground level or lower. An inclined belt, pocket belt or bucket elevator can lift the aggregates to the level of the holding hopper. If the plant is high profile, vertical or tower type, the aggregate holding hopper can be mounted on load cells to become a scale. We can advise on the design as well as supplying the equipment from one of our partner companies, giving you a guaranteed solution

Skip Hoists
(6)
Skip for Aggregates Loading, with two drums operated by the same shaft, anti free-fall device under the skip, normal speed of 15 mt/min (double speed is available as an extra), set of three limit switches for the normal operation (Top, Stand-by, Bottom position) and Three limit switches for emergency (2 for slack cable and 1 for top over-run). For the Maximum Load Capacity in terms of Volume and Weight, refer to the following table. The standard slope of the skip rails is 60°, but in case the general layout of the plant needs a different angle, the slope can vary from 55° to 70°.
Three positions are available for the skip hoist: Left Side, Right Side or Opposite Motor Side.
DOUBLE SPEED DESCENT: this option allows the skip to move down at 30 mt/min instead of 15 mt/min. After the discharge, for the whole run, the skip can move down at 30mt/min until it stops at the bottom position.
DOUBLE SPEED ASCENT AND DESCENT: this option allows the skip to move up and down at 30 mt/min. When moving up, the skip starts at Low Speed (15mt/min). After two seconds it can be switched to the High Speed (30mt/min) until it reaches the Stand By Limit Switch, where it must be switched back to the Low Speed. The discharge of the skip must be done at Low Speed. After the discharge, for the whole run, the skip can move down at 30mt/min until it stops at the bottom position.
Swing Out Drives
This unique option for SICOMA Twin Shaft Mixers was developed over the last years to make any maintenance to the shaft supports easier and faster . The full drive assembly (Motor, Pulleys and Gearbox) is hinged to the side of the mixer tank and it can be swong out easily without the need of cranes or any lifting device. The downtime for the plant is minimised, resulting in a extremely low maintenance cost.
