Sicoma Mixers India Pvt Ltd, ever since its inception in 2007 as 100 per cent subsidiary of Sicoma srl of Italy, has been striving to achieve market leadership by providing state-of-the-art concrete mixers and services.

Sicoma is one of the largest manufacturers of concrete mixers in the world. The company manufactures around 3,000 mixers a month globally on an average. “Our customers find our mixers extremely user-friendly and cost-effective in operations. In India, we have more than 300 mixers population in operation,” informs Prashanth Kumar, Executive Director, Sicoma Mixers India Pvt. Ltd.

Kumar feels that the most difficult concrete nowadays is UHPC (Ultra-High Performance Concrete) and UHPFRC (Ultra-High Performance Fibre Reinforced Concrete). In both cases, Sicoma’s Planetary Mixers with the High Speed Agitator give an incredible dispersion of cement into the mix.

Unique features
The High Speed Agitator is extremely important to increase the shear and crush the lumps possibly created during the mixing as a consequence of the mix-design which is rich of binders i.e. cements, fly ash.

A special kind of concrete
UHPC and UHPFRC is a special kind of concrete needed to produce high-strength precast elements used in building construction.
