Mayday Equipment has supplemented its range of Syntesi electrically driven concrete mixers with petrol-driven variants.

In an attempt to make operations safer, the Syntesi 350 has an emergency stop switch located on the outside of the engine cabin in order to quickly stop the machine if necessary. The gear motor offers protection against accidental turning and noise emission stays at levels of lower than 75 dB(A).

The Syntesi 350 uses a direct drive Honda GX160QX engine rather than the traditional 2:1 reduction drive engine. This reduces the overall cost of the machine and lowers maintenance costs.

According to Director of Mayday Equipment Nina Mason, the drum lock mechanism traditionally found in concrete mixers does not form part of the design. The mixing drum is constructed of high resistance forged steel and the gearbox and the large worm screw tilting wheel provides drum tilting.

In order to provide maximum protection from sand and other aggregates, the transmission system, with gearbox and high resistance Poly-V belt, is enclosed in the drum support arm housing. Transmission belt tightening can be done without disassembling the motor canopy.

“The 186 kg Syntesi 350 petrol driven concrete mixer, which is also available with a diesel engine on request, is designed and built to solve the typical problems of traditional concrete mixers. This mixer is the result of extensive research and design and will be a welcome addition to any rental or end user fleet,” says Mason.
