As a core manufacturer and partner of SICOMA twin shaft mixers, Haomei Machinery have been deeply engaged in the concrete mixing equipment field for many years. Leveraging our independent R&D capabilities, scaled production advantages and global supply chain, we continuously provide customers with cost-effective, reliable and durable mixing solutions.
1. Product Positioning and Pricing Strategy: Precisely Matching Needs with Significant Cost Advantages
SICOMA twin shaft mixers cover a wide range of scenarios and are available in three main series with clear and transparent pricing:
– Economical MEO Series (Capacity 0.75-2.0 m³)
Applicable Applications: Small and medium-sized projects, precast component plants
Price Advantage: The basic MEO 2000 is approximately $12,500 (including an 18.5kW dual-motor drive system).
Cost Control Points: The modular design reduces maintenance costs, and the manual lubrication pump can be optionally upgraded to an automatic system to meet flexible budget needs.
– Standard MAO Series (Capacity 1.5-6.0 m³)
Applicable Applications: Ready-mix concrete plants, high-speed rail/bridge projects
Typical Models: SICOMA MAO 2000 concrete mixer (standard main unit for HZS120 concrete batching plants), unit price $15,000-$18,000 (including intelligent monitoring system)
Premium Value: Shaft-end air pressure seals prevent slurry leakage, and the gearbox constant temperature filtration system extends life by 30%, reducing downtime losses.
– High-end Customized MSO Series (Specially Designed for Large-Scale Infrastructure Construction)
Example: MSO 2250/1500 (HZS90 concrete batching plant core unit), supports tetrahedral agitator shafts for enhanced homogenization
Pricing Transparency: Core components (such as gearboxes and agitator shafts) are available as optional extras. For example:
MAO 518 Gearbox: Starting at $2,899 (5 units or more)
MSO 2250 Agitator Shaft: Starting at $1,509 (5 units or more)
Our Core Pricing Advantages:
– Localized Manufacturing: Imported technology is domestically produced, resulting in a 25%-35% cost reduction compared to purely imported models;
– Large-Scale Bargaining Power: Direct sourcing of core components such as gearboxes and motors, with tiered discounts available for bulk orders (e.g., a 3%-5% price reduction for a minimum order of 5 units);
– Transparent Cost Structure: No intermediate markups, component-level quotations are provided, allowing customers to independently control their budgets.
II. Technology Premium Analysis: Reducing Long-Term Operating Costs
Price is not an isolated number; equipment reliability directly impacts lifetime operating costs. SICOMA twin-shaft mixers achieve hidden cost reductions through innovative design:
– HDI intelligent lubrication system:
Eliminates oil leakage and shaft wear-related downtime. Four independent pump elements provide direct oil supply, eliminating the need for diverter valves. Maintenance intervals increase by 50%, and spare parts costs decrease by 40%.
– Dual-unit synchronous control system:
Zero-downtime redundancy prevents a single unit failure from halting the entire line, reducing project delay risk by 90%.
– Microwave moisture content monitoring:
Manual mix ratio adjustments have low accuracy, allowing for real-time water-cement ratio corrections, reducing material waste by $1.2 per cubic meter of concrete.
Case study: After adopting SICOMA twin shaft mixers in HZS concrete batching plants, customers reported a shortened payback period of 14 months (compared to the industry average of 22 months) due to improved metering accuracy (sampling speed 120 times/second) and reduced failure rates.
III. Service Empowerment: From “Price Tag” to “Lifelong Partner”
We reject the “low price, low quality” trap and ensure maximum customer benefit through full-cycle service:
– Supply Chain Assurance:
A central spare parts warehouse and 72-hour emergency response save you three weeks of waiting time compared to imported brands;
– Upgraded Technical Support:
Complimentary PLC control solutions for the concrete mixing plant (supporting automatic compensation for sand and gravel moisture content and online slump detection);
– Value Guarantee:
One-year warranty for the entire machine, with an extended warranty of up to three years for core components (gearbox and motor).
If you are evaluating the cost-effectiveness of your mixing equipment, we can provide:
Precise Model Matching: Recommends the optimal base unit based on production capacity (60-120 m³/h), aggregate type, and site constraints;
TCO Cost Simulation: Calculates the comprehensive five-year energy, maintenance, and production capacity costs.
Choosing us means more than just choosing a piece of equipment; it means choosing a commitment—with world-leading technology and locally optimized costs, we will help you win the value competition in every cubic meter of concrete.
