Self Loading Concrete Mixer in Indonesia: Supporting Mining Infrastructure in Kalimantan with SLM 4
Self Loading Concrete Mixer Project Overview
In October 2024, DASWELL Group successfully delivered a high-performance SLM4 self loading concrete mixer to the Muara Teweh project in Kalimantan, Indonesia.
The client, PT. Silkar National required a robust, durable, and easily mobile on-site concrete production solution. The SLM4 self loading mixer helped them move away from traditional, labor-intensive mixing methods. This machine functions as a mobile concrete batching plant, capable of independently loading, mixing, transporting, and unloading concrete. Thanks to DASWELL’s dedicated branch and warehouse in Indonesia, we were able to source the self-loading concrete mixer from local inventory, enabling delivery to the client within one week.
Advantages of the SLM4 Self Loading Concrete Mixer
- Four-Wheel Drive: The 4×4 system allows the self-loading mixer to easily handle the muddy and rugged terrain common in mining areas.
- High Output: With a 4.0 cubic meter mixing drum volume, it can produce approximately 16 cubic meters of fresh concrete per hour.
- 270-Degree Discharge: The mixing drum can rotate horizontally, allowing operators to dump concrete in all directions without moving the vehicle.
- Automatic Weighing System: Onboard hydraulic sensors ensure accurate proportions of cement, water, and aggregate in each batch of concrete.
Client Project Status and Challenges
The client is a reputable contractor involved in numerous complex mining and infrastructure projects. In this project, the construction sites are scattered across a vast area with poor road access. Previously, they relied on small portable mixers or manual mixing. This caused several problems:
- Low efficiency: Producing small quantities of concrete required significant manpower and time.
- Inconsistent quality: Manual loading and unloading of concrete often resulted in inconsistent strength, posing a risk to industrial foundations.
Why the Customer Chose DASWELL Self Loading Concrete Mixer
• Local Availability: Unlike other international brands that require months of shipping, we had the self loading mixer as ready stock in our Indonesia warehouse.
• Proven Reliability: DASWELL has a strong reputation in Indonesia for providing machinery that survives tropical humidity and heavy workloads.
• Speed of Service: The purchase was finalized on October 3, 2024, and the machine was delivered to the site by October 9, 2024. A six-day window for a heavy machinery delivery is a significant advantage for any contractor.
Delivery, Installation & Training by DASWELL Indonesia
After the self loading mixer arrived on site, our technical engineers performed a comprehensive “Commissioning and Training” program.
• Calibrate the weighing system for the specific aggregates used at Adaro Minerals.
• Train PT. Silkar National’s operators on daily maintenance and safe driving maneuvers.
• Conduct test batches to ensure the concrete slump met the project’s technical standards.
Self Loading Mixer Performance & Customer Feedback
Since its arrival, despite the high temperatures and dust on site, the SLM4 self-loading concrete mixer has maintained stable performance. The self-loading mixer significantly shortened the construction cycle for the mine’s drainage system and small building foundations. The output per batch remained stable at 4 cubic meters, which is ideal for this “distributed” construction project. The customer team reduced labor costs by more than 40% and accelerated the construction progress.
Customer Feedback: “DASWELL’s service speed was impressive. Having the machine in stock in Indonesia saved us time. The SLM4 is powerful, easy to maintain, and the concrete quality is much better than our previous methods.”
