Betomix mixing plants are supplied with ring-pan mixers holding between 1.0 and 3.0 cubic metres, or with twin-shaft mixers of between 2.25 and 6.0 cu. m capacity. At the 2010 ‘Bauma’, Lieb-herr is introducing a new model, the Betomix 2.5 with a 2.5 cu. m twin-shaft mixer.

This new size category is Liebherr’s response to the current truck mixer capacity trend. On European markets in particular, most truck mixers are of 32 metric tons gross weight, with a load vo-lume of 7.5 cu. m. On Near East markets, volumes of 10 cu. m are by no means uncommon. The Betomix 2.5 therefore needs only three or four mixing cycles as the case may be to load these truck mixers.
