Self Loading Mixer Boosts Road Project in Manila
Project Background
In early 2025, a local Filipino contractor undertook a rural-urban road expansion project aimed at improving transport connections and supporting local economic growth. The site was located in a remote area, with difficult terrain and limited access to ready-mix supply plants. Transporting premixed concrete would have been slow, expensive, and unreliable. To overcome these challenges, the contractor turned to our self loading concrete mixer as the core solution.
What does our customer needs
The client is a local construction contractor in the Philippines, primarily undertaking road construction and small housing projects. The project site is located in an inaccessible area, hindering the transportation of raw materials. The client urgently needed a concrete equipment capable of both autonomous loading and continuous mixing and discharging. The large-scale project required a continuous daily supply of concrete while minimizing labor and equipment investment to reduce construction costs. Faced with the dual pressures of a harsh construction environment and a tight deadline, the client placed high demands on the equipment for high productivity, flexibility, and reliability.
Traditional solutions—such as using separate loaders, transit mixers, and pumps—would have meant higher costs and coordination issues. SLDM3500 self loading mixer, which integrates loading, automatic weighing, mixing, transporting, and direct discharging into one compact unit, was chosen to simplify operations.
How customers choose us
The customer initially learned about Daswell through our online Youtube channel and peer recommendations. After browsing our official website and reviewing several successful overseas cases, the customer contacted our sales team. After several technical discussions and comparisons of solutions, the customer found Daswell’s self-loading concrete mixer truck to offer significant advantages in performance, ease of operation, after-sales service, and cost-effectiveness. Ultimately, the customer selected the SLDM3500, drawn to its proven overseas application experience and comprehensive technical support.
Equipment delivery list
Model: SLDM3500 Self Loading Concrete Mixer
Batch capacity: 3.5m³
Theoretical productivity: 14–16m³/h
Engine: 85kW diesel, reliable in hot and humid conditions
Four-wheel drive, strong climbing ability for rough roads
Equipped with automatic weighing system for accurate mix ratios
Along with the machine, Daswell provided a starter kit of spare parts, maintenance tools, and operator manuals, ensuring smooth start-up and long-term reliability.
Delivery, Setup & Training
Once the machine arrived in the Philippines, Daswell’s service team traveled to the site to support the customer. The process included:
- Unloading and inspection – Checking mechanical, hydraulic, and electronic systems.
- Operational testing – Running empty cycles, loading aggregates, adding cement and water, and verifying mix homogeneity.
- Road simulation test – Driving the mixer across uneven terrain to confirm stability and performance under actual jobsite conditions.
- On-site training – Teaching operators how to load raw materials, adjust mix designs, discharge concrete into forms, and carry out daily maintenance.
The training was highly practical, enabling operators to take over confidently after only a short period.
Results & Customer Feedback
After being put into operation, the self loading mixer quickly demonstrated its value:
- 24/7 Concrete Supply: Continuous production directly on-site eliminated dependence on external batching plants.
- Efficiency Gains: Daily output reached over 100m³ with just one machine and one operator.
- Cost Reduction: No need to hire extra loaders, trucks, or additional mixers, reducing operating costs by nearly 30%.
- High Reliability: Even under hot, humid, and dusty conditions, the equipment ran smoothly with no breakdowns.
The customer commented:
“With Daswell’s self loading mixer, our project schedule has accelerated. The machine saves us labor, reduces logistics costs, and provides consistent high-quality concrete. It has become an irreplaceable tool for our road works.
Conclusion
The success of this project further proves the value of Daswell’s self loading mixers in infrastructure development across remote areas. With their multifunctional design, robust performance, and strong after-sales support, they are helping more contractors in Manila and beyond achieve faster, more economical, and higher-quality construction results.
