Wiggert concrete mixers, batching plants, and batch automation

German manufacturer Wiggert & Co. GmbH manufactures high-performance countercurrent planetary mixers HPGM, twin-shaft mixers DWM, mobile plants MobilMat, and Siemens PLC batch controls WCS.

Planetary countercurrent concrete mixers HPGM V9

Wiggert HPGM V9 planetary countercurrent mixers are engineered for precast, self-compacting (SCC), and high-strength concrete. Countercurrent mixing stars rotate around a central vertical axis. Replaceable Armor plate liners demonstrate service life exceeding 120,000 batch cycles.

Three batch water addition modes: weighed, volumetric, and sidewall injection

Twin-shaft concrete mixers DWM series

Wiggert DWM twin-shaft concrete mixers are built for high-volume ready-mix and precast production with coarse aggregates up to 150 mm. Synchronized counter-rotating shafts generate an intensive turbulence zone. Replaceable Ni-Hard shovels and Armor Plate liners deliver extended life.

Compact planetary mixing plants CentroMix CPM

Wiggert CentroMix CPM planetary mixer plants are tailored for precast concrete, block machinery, and sites with restricted footprints. Round cross-section mixing arms prevent material buildup. The modular assembly integrates either a weighing skip hoist or an aggregate weigh-belt.

High production throughput ranging from 30 up to 240 m3/h of compacted concrete

WCS concrete batch plant automation based on Siemens PLC

Wiggert Control System (WCS) operates on Windows workstations paired with Siemens PLC controllers, featuring dual-PC redundancy. The system supervises multi-component dosing, admixtures, and dynamic moisture compensation via HYDROMAT sensors, storing concrete mix designs with full audit tracking.

High-speed concrete distribution and flying bucket systems

Wiggert high-speed flying bucket systems provide automated concrete delivery from the batching plant directly to precast casting bays. Monorail or twin-rail traveling buckets achieve speeds up to 300 m/min with variable frequency control, featuring clamshell or rollover discharge under WCS.

Engineering and hydrodynamic flow of Wiggert HPGM planetary mixers

Wiggert HPGM V9 series countercurrent planetary mixers deliver thorough batch homogeneity by driving dual or triple mixing star assemblies along complex orbital paths around a central vertical rotor.

The resulting kinematic trajectories cover the entire pan floor without stagnant zones, transmitting mechanical shear directly into aggregates and cementitious paste.

To mitigate electrical peak loads during start-up with a loaded pan, high-capacity models integrate a hydrodynamic fluid coupling between the electric motor and main reduction gearbox. Replaceable Armor plate liners are bolted flush against the wear shell, eliminating paste buildup.

Heavy-duty capabilities of Wiggert DWM twin-shaft concrete mixers

Wiggert DWM twin-shaft concrete mixers are built for continuous production of structural ready-mix concrete incorporating crushed granite aggregates up to 150 mm.

Two synchronized horizontal shafts rotate inward toward the central trough, lifting the batch into a dynamic turbulent mixing zone for rapid dispersion of water and chemical admixtures.

Wear shovels cast from Ni-Hard alloy are clamped onto forged steel arms with adjustable clearances to the perimeter Armor Plate liners. An automated progressive greasing system pressurizes shaft labyrinth seals continuously, preventing penetration of fine abrasive slurries into bearings.

Batching layout and precision feeding in CentroMix CPM plants

Compact CentroMix CPM batching plants cater to precast concrete element producers, paving block factories, and temporary job sites with limited ground area.

Depending on site logistics, aggregates are charged using an inclined skip hoist with variable rail angles or a continuous chevron weigh-belt conveyor. Round cross-section mixing arms prevent crust buildup of stiff mixes along internal spokes, reducing manual washdown intervals between shifts.

Precision load cell mountings on cement and chemical scales ensure stringent batch-to-batch consistency complying with international structural standards.

Rapid mobilization and pre-assembled architecture of MobilMat plants

Wiggert MobilMat mobile batching plants are modular containerized assemblies supplied with pre-installed mechanical, electrical, and pneumatic systems.

Heavy-gauge wiring, Festo pneumatic distribution valve banks, and high-pressure hydraulic lines undergo comprehensive factory pressure and functional testing prior to shipment.

On-site installation requires only a level reinforced concrete foundation pad and primary utility drops, allowing project contractors to relocate and commission the batching complex on remote infrastructure sites in a matter of days.

Process control automation and dynamic moisture correction in WCS

Wiggert Control System (WCS) automation is built upon industrial Siemens S7 programmable controllers paired with redundant Windows workstations. The software core interfaces in real time with HYDROMAT microwave moisture sensors installed inside sand bin discharge gates and mixer pan floor plates.

Whenever aggregate moisture fluctuates, the control algorithm dynamically recalculates batch water volume and dry aggregate mass, locking the water-cement ratio to strict tolerances without requiring manual operator adjustments.

High-speed automated concrete distribution across precast casting bays

Wiggert automated concrete delivery systems utilize high-speed monorail and dual-rail flying buckets to link the central mixing tower with distributed precast casting beds and pipe production lines.

Variable frequency drives govern travel acceleration and braking curves up to 300 m/min, completely preventing segregation in self-compacting or highly workable concrete mixes.

Rollover tilting buckets or segmented clamshell discharge gates execute rapid batch transfer into distributor hoppers, guided by optical positioning sensors.
