CASE STUDY: Cemen Tech M60 – Holcim Decorative Concrete
Volumetric Precision for Decorative Concrete: Holcim Partners with CGS Equipment
Objective: Enhance Flexibility and Reduce Waste in Decorative Concrete Delivery
Holcim is a major global building materials and aggregates supplier, and one of the largest providers of ready-mixed concrete throughout Australia. Seeking a solution that would enable it to produce on-demand decorative concrete to service the rapidly growing Western-Sydney market, Holcim approached CGS Equipment. The requirement was a mixing solution that would guarantee consistent quality, minimise wastage, and offer on-site customisation for the Holcim Geostone range of decorative concrete.
CGS Equipment Delivers the Cemen Tech M60 Volumetric Mixer for Decorative Concrete Application
CGS performed a detailed assessment of Holcim’s objectives and the technical requirements. Based on its assessment, CGS recommended two Cemen Tech M60 volumetric concrete mixers as the optimal solution.
The M60’s store all raw materials (aggregate, sand, cement, water) separately and combine them on-site to deliver precise quantities of fresh decorative concrete. All material input levels are calibrated to achieve the perfect mix design for each job and water levels can be adjusted during mixing, ensuring consistent slump and optimal mix quality. This on-demand mixing eliminates issues like surface cracking and segregation. Further, each unit was equipped with integrated colour feeders, allowing precise pigment dosing to achieve the bespoke Geostone’s finish.
Another major advantage of the Cemen Tech volumetric mixer is zero material waste. Any unused dry material is returned to the plant for reuse, and customers are only charged for what they consume.
Operator Training and Ongoing Support
CGS Equipment conducted extensive on-site training to Holcim’s operator team. Holcim recognised that skilled operation is critical to optimising success and ensuring safe equipment operation. Our partnership continues today, with CGS providing routine servicing, system inspections, and reliable support for the M60 fleet.
