Simplex Continuous Concrete Mixer This machine combines the rolling principle of mix embodied in all Batch mixers, with an absolutely accurate measuring device and positive force feed. The revolving cylindrical drum is slightly tilted, which allows for a rolling mix and gravity discharge.

Simplex Continuous Concrete Mixer This machine combines the rolling principle of mix embodied in all Batch mixers, with an absolutely accurate measuring device and positive force feed. The revolving cylindrical drum is slightly tilted, which allows for a rolling mix and gravity discharge. The material is fed into the mixing drum through a three compartment hopper equipped with a measuring device and force feeding attach- ment which are graduated for any desired proportion. The drum Is sixty inches long, and on account of the slight tilt, the material falls two inches toward the discharge end with each revolution. Water is applied eighteen inches from the discharge end, providing for a 21 time dry and a 9 time wet mix before the material is discharged. The capacity of the machine is regularly from one to ten yards per hour, which may be increased to twenty yards per hour. It is equipped with 3 h. p. engine. Simplex Batch Mixer This machine is constructed after standard principles, the drum having special cast heads, with eight gauge boiler plate steel shell. It is equipped with regular or batch hopper, and made in either side or end discharge type. Capacity, eight cubic feet, dry mix. It is equipped with 4 h. p. gasoline engine.
