Applied Machinery Sales, the official importer and distributor of Merlo telehandlers and Rotos, introduce a new Merlo product line to the USA: DBM 3500 Mini Cement Mixers.
The DBM 3500 is a self-contained mini mixer. It has a drum volume of 1,321 gallons delivering 4.6 yd³ of concrete. The self-loading bucket handles up to 25 cu/ft. of aggregate at each load cycle. The pump moves 66 gallons of water per minute into the mixing drum, which supplies up to 37.7 ft² of concrete to be made in less than 15 minutes. The drum sits on a ‘fifth wheel’ allowing for 180° lateral rotation and also 330° concrete discharge.
Thanks to its agile characteristics, such as the angles of inclination, tight turning radius, and the reduced overall dimensions, the DBM cement mixer is suitable for working in confined, difficult-to-reach spaces.
