ZF Friedrichshafen: Electrically Powered Mixer Drum for Eco-Friendly Construction

With the ECOMIX CMe, ZF Friedrichshafen is presenting an electrically driven mixer drum at the bauma 2019 trade fair in Munich. For electric emptying of the mixer drum on the construction site - silent and emission-free.

Drive for mixer drums from 10 to 12 cubic meters

The ECOMIX CMe product from ZF Friedrichshafen is an electrically driven mixer drum. It uses the ZF standard gearbox to implement a reduction stage and an electric motor. The drive is designed to drive mixer drums from 10 to 12 cubic meters. In this case, the 64 kilonewton meters can also be used to drive through concrete types F1 to F5.

CMe - electric drive of the mixer drum

Here you can see the CMe, the electric drive of the mixer drum. The aim is to switch off the diesel during the loading process and empty the mixer drum electrically. This process can be carried out cleanly on the construction site and is, of course, emission-free and silent. This will be the future, especially on urban construction sites. From a socio-political point of view, it is difficult to say that private individuals are no longer allowed to drive into the city with their own diesel, but this is permitted on construction sites.
