Cemen Tech introduced the CD2 volumetric mixer as the next generation in its line of computerized models. This fully automated addition to the C Series lineup features a unique split bin with individual compartments to transport and blend various supplementary cementing materials (SCMs). Notably, the mixer is equipped to handle fly ash, a crucial component mandated by Department of Transportation standards and municipalities.

The CD2 combines Cemen Tech’s volumetric mixing technology with a new SCM dual bin, enabling real-time mixing of individual ingredients at any proportions needed, without extra equipment or expense. The dual bin design also doubles the amount of mixes this unit can produce, further enhancing its efficiency. The special split bins hold up to 115 cubic feet of cement and 80 cubic feet of fly ash.

Like other Cemen Tech volumetric mixers, the CD2 ensures precision in measuring, mixing, and dispensing concrete from a single unit. Each ingredient — sand, stone, cement powder, fly ash, water, and additives — is stored in separate compartments and mixed precisely onsite. This approach allows for quick quality control testing, reducing downtime and material waste.

Mark Rinehart, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Cemen Tech, notes the growing trend of fly ash replacing cement for enhanced concrete performance. “The CD2 is a valuable tool for contractors, delivering high-quality concrete with low waste, meeting customer specifications, and complying with local, state, and federal project requirements,” he said.

Beyond its mixing capabilities, the CD2 replaces traditional bag filters with cartridge filters, eliminating the need to add and remove bags from the filter system. This feature simplifies maintenance and improves filtration while offering operators greater convenience when pneumatically filling the cement bin.
