BRANCH INFO
HIGH PERFORMANCE ™ DRUM
The Con-Tech® High Performance™ Drum is designed from head to tail cone with the producer in mind. With the manufacturing process, and materials used, we worked with the industry to develop this drum which sets the standard.
BENEFITS OF THE CON-TECH
Tail Cone Fin Hole Configuration with Elevated Surge Fins: Limits buildup, improves mixing, and reduces wear on your equipment
Manufactured in the USA: All HP drums are built with pride in Dodge Center, Minnesota
Patented A.R. Steel Lip Doubler: Doubles fin thickness for ultimate wear protection and fin life
EcoFin® Technology: Reduces wear, buildup, and improves mix consistency (See next page)
Precision Fit Panels: Eliminates flats spots that cause accelerated wear areas — Ensures optimal fin position for even, smooth pours
® HIGH PERFORMANCE ™ DRUM:
High Performance Tail Cone: Special fin spiral with an additional 1/4 turn allows for unmatched charging speed and discharge performance
Fabricated A.R. Steel Head: 1/4” true nominal thickness reduces wear areas throughout
Straight Taper Cone: Straight angle from the belly to the drip ring eliminates surging caused by non-straight cones in a high-production pour
One-Piece Solid Roller Track: Premachined and crowned — eliminates weld cracking and increases structural integrity over hollow designs
High Capacity Mixing Bowl: 25% increase in mixing area with a lower center of gravity for improved stability
Ball Buster Paddle System: Drastically reduces or eliminates cement balls
5/16 Hatch Frame with Tapped Holes: Increases frame thickness by 85% and eliminates square-welded nuts
Removable Lifting Lug: For easy and safe drum removal and replacement — a removable lifting lug is included with each HP drum
SUPERIOR DESIGN
Con-Tech’s patented design allows smooth concrete to flow through each hole and immediately fold into the mixture coming over the top of the fin.
EFFICIENT MIXING
EcoFin® provides a more homogenized mix faster and more efficient than ever before. Each fin contains multiple mixing holes to incorporate each material with ease.
REDUCED WEAR & TEAR
The EcoFin® allows the material to flow over and through the fin rather than against it. This reduces stress and fatigue on the mixing fins and drum shell connection point.
TM The New Standard.
NEW FIN SPIRAL
The new self cleaning fin design allows for small amounts of material to pass through the fins which drastically reduces build up. Elevated surge fins allow water to flush underneath to reach the main fin row during clean up.
SOLID ROLLER TRACK
is lighter and stronger than hollow designs, providing 350% more contact surface area and eliminates flexing and cracking.
ECOFIN TECHNOLOGY
UPGRADE TO HIGH
STRAIGHT CONE TAPER
allows for a smooth discharge with virtually no surging, while allowing maximum discharge performance.
It’s What’s on the
Con-Tech’s patent pending EcoFin technology allows concrete to flow through the mixing fins then folded into the mix coming over the top of the fin. This provides a much more homogenized mix in a much more efficient manner than conventional designs.
Mixing holes allow concrete to pass through the fin along the drum skin providing a barrier from the mixing chamber. Reducing the wear on your mixing fins and drum skin.

MAXIMIZING SAFETY AND EFFICIENCY IN THE READY MIX INDUSTRY:
THE IMPORTANCE OF PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE AND TRAINING
In the fast-paced world of ready mix concrete, where efficiency and safety are paramount, it’s easy to overlook the underlying reasons for truck downtime. While safety remains a critical concern, the strategic importance of preventative maintenance often gets buried in the day-today operations. However, Con-Tech Manufacturing, is not only dedicated to providing top-notch equipment but also prioritizes product training in order to minimizing downtime.
Every fall, Con-Tech Manufacturing hosts a two-day Maintenance and Training Seminar at its factory in Dodge Center, MN. This year, the seminar attracted nearly 300 technicians from across the United States and even as far as Alaska, Canada, Puerto Rico, and Hawaii. The swift registration, filling up within just nine days, underscores the commitment of ready mix producers to prioritize the training and expertise of their technicians.
Jim Cunningham, Con-Tech’s seasoned Service Manager with over 32 years of experience, emphasizes the importance of knowledge dissemination and proactive maintenance. “My goal is to share as much information as possible with technicians,” says Cunningham. “Empowering them to expedite repairs and get trucks back online swiftly is the ultimate reward for me.”
One key aspect of effective maintenance
is adhering to routine service intervals and conducting thorough pre-trip mixer inspections. By following manufacturerrecommended service schedules and conducting simple inspections before each trip, operators can significantly enhance equipment performance, prolong critical component life, and minimize emergency service calls.
In terms of hydraulic systems, Cunningham highlights the criticality of the initial 100-hour service, emphasizing the removal of manufacturing and assembly contaminants to prevent
premature wear. Subsequent fluid and filter changes are recommended every 1000 hours to maintain optimal system health. According to Cunningham, strict adherence to maintenance plans and using appropriate hydraulic fluids drastically reduces hydraulic system failures.
Attention to detail is another cornerstone of successful maintenance. While truck chassis inspections are common, many overlook the mixer body. Implementing detailed pre-trip or daily inspections of mixer components can identify

SERVICE & MAINTENANCE
potential issues before they escalate into emergencies. From hydraulic hose dampness to loose bolts and uneven tire wear, these signs indicate underlying problems that require attention.
Moreover, understanding the impact of cleaning chemicals is crucial. Despite claims of being acid-free, some products still possess pH levels that can cause severe damage to equipment components. Awareness of the potential risks associated with cleaning products is essential for preserving electrical harnesses, paint, frames, hoses, cylinders, and hardware integrity.
In conclusion, informed personnel and well-maintained equipment are indispensable in the ready mix industry. Scheduled maintenance proves to be far more cost-effective than reactive repairs prompted by equipment failures. Access to recommended service information and training resources, equips technicians with the knowledge and skills needed to ensure operational efficiency and safety.
Collaboration within the industry also plays a vital role in advancing best practices and standards. Sharing insights, experiences, and innovations among producers, and technicians fosters a culture of continuous improvement and excellence. By prioritizing preventative maintenance and ongoing training, the ready mix industry can enhance operational efficiency, prolong equipment lifespan, and prioritize safety in an ever-evolving business landscape.
For additional resources and inquiries, technicians can access recommended service information and mixer pre-trip procedures on Con-Tech Manufacturing’s website. Furthermore, mixer in-service and safety training videos are available on YouTube. For any questions or further assistance, technicians can reach out to Jim Cunningham directly via email. With a collaborative approach and a commitment to excellence, the ready mix industry can navigate the challenges of today’s business climate while ensuring the highest standards of efficiency, safety, and reliability.
You can access recommended service information along with mixer pre-trip procedures at www.ctmmixers.com/resources/ .
Also, there are mixer in-service and safety training videos located on youtube at www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Lbt-mYUs6k&t=18s www.youtube.com/watch?v=_clg-fvJKMc
