Global Mixers, manufacturer of volumetric concrete mixers, recently announced the availability of the Advantage Plus Package, which offers a variety of features:

Unlike traditional drum mixers, volumetric mixers actually mix concrete at the job site. The mixers are loaded with sand, water, cement powder and aggregate; the items are stored seperately until the concrete is needed.

Instead of welding and painting parts in machine shops, Global designs mixers with computer-aided design software and powder coats the steel components. The company then assembles mixers by using a unique modular method, which allows components to be easily removed when needed, significantly reducing the chance of corrosion.

Global offers complete volumetric mixer sales, service and training capabilities. The company's first volumetric concrete mixer was produced in 2001 by a team of engineers with more than 50 years of combined experience in the industry. Global Mixers, based in Des Moines, Iowa, is the second-largest volumetric mixer dealer in the United States and hasan extensive international dealer network.
