CONTINUOUS MIXING & PAVING
Welcome to Kwa Mhlanga Group
Mixing Technology Specialists
The Rapid Mix 400CW, from Rapid International, is the first of its kind in Africa. It can produce up to 400 tonnes per hour and records the quantities by weighing each of the materials added. The plant’s record keeping is automated, precise, detailed and provides Kwa Mhlanga with accurate information regarding production and materials used (aggregates, cements, water, additives, bitumen emulsions, etc.).
The plant produces high quality controlled mixtures for utilisation in a range of Civil Engineering application – from airport runways and contaminated land treatment to dam construction and soil stabilisation. The mobile nature of the plant combined with the technically advanced design is most advantageous in meeting the supply and demand requirements on projects. The Rapid Mix 400CW provides a cost-effective solution on those on-site projects were high specification compliance combined with a high volume fast throughput are critical.
Application include:
• Blending of two aggregates for road construction
• Stabilizing of aggregates with cement or bitumen emulsions to Optimum Moisture Content (OMC) for road sub-bases and bases
• Mixing of G1 material to OMC for road bases
• Roller Compact Concrete (RCC).
Paving:
The aggregate Kwa Mhlanga Construction produce with the Rapidmix 400CW is trucked to a BOMAG BF800P Paver which lays it onto the desired width of roadway being constructed and this base material is then compacted using BOMAG BW219D Smooth Drum Roller.
With the Rapid Continuous mixing plant and the BOMAG BF800P Paver working in tandem, bearing in mind work are being done on narrow streets with concrete on both sides, Kwa Mhlanga can now effortlessly lay 2000 tonnes of base material in one shift, which is revolutionary compared to what is currently the norm in South Africa
