The Aimix self-loading concrete mixer installation process is extremely streamlined and can be completed efficiently and independently by the customer, facilitating a smooth commissioning of the project. We provide a full installation guide so that customers can choose to install the mixer themselves or with the assistance of the manufacturer. Recently, a Kenyan customer purchased 2 self-loading mixers and successfully completed the installation and testing, and is very satisfied with our equipment.
The client wanted to build a two-storey self-build house in rural Mombasa, Kenya, far away from a concrete mixing plant, and wanted to bring in a group of concrete mixing equipment that was “easy to install and quick to start up”. Faced with the challenges of dispersed concrete demand, unstable power supply, and scarcity of specialised tradesmen, the customer finally decided to introduce two AS-4.0 self-loading mixers to enhance construction flexibility and efficiency.
However, whether the deployment of new equipment can be completed quickly under the conditions of limited resources has become a key concern for project promotion. In the pre-communication with the client, John, the project manager, said bluntly, “Our sites are mostly in remote areas, where trucks for transporting large equipment can’t get in, and there is no crane on site; if we look for a professional installation team, the labour and waiting time alone will add an extra 15% to the budget.” The difficulty of installing traditional concrete mixing equipment is magnified into two major challenges in the specific Kenyan scenario:
The main body of the equipment is highly integrated, and the core components (mixing drum, chassis, engine, hydraulic system) have been pre-installed and completed the basic debugging, which greatly reduces the workload of on-site assembly.
A small number of components that need to be installed on-site adopt modular design and quick-plug interfaces, accompanied by illustrated manuals and multi-language installation videos, so the steps are intuitive and easy to understand.
The customer completed the installation of both units within 2 days under our remote video guidance. Once installed, the team conducted on-site testing. The equipment was up and running the next day.
Customer feedback: “We were initially concerned that the installation of the equipment would cause delays, especially on the outskirts of Mombasa, where it was difficult to find specialist engineers. However, the simplicity of the Aimix self-loading mixer exceeded expectations! The instructions were clear, the video guide was spot on, and the quick plug connector was designed to be very easy to use. Our own team easily installed and tested both machines with virtually no waiting time. This ‘ready-to-install’ experience is crucial for us to efficiently move forward with our project in Kenya!” Both helped the client improve efficiency and save costs:
Cost savingsEliminating crane rental, foundation pouring, and installation team labour, reducing the cost of installing a single unit by 65%.
Controllable scheduleInstallation cycle is compressed from 7-15 days to 2 days, and concrete supply can be started earlier, avoiding liquidated damages due to equipment delays.
Increased adaptabilityThe equipment can be used at 80% of rural road sites in Kenya, extending coverage from urban to remote areas.
The simplified installation process not only solves the real-life pain points of customers in remote areas or with limited resources, but also extends “efficiency” from equipment performance to the entire commissioning process.
