FAQ

What are the specifications of this 9-yard Zimmerman volumetric mixer? +

This 9-yard Zimmerman volumetric mixer features high-flow capability producing 30 cubic yards per hour, patented dual-chain material feed system, separate aggregate compartments, cement bin with power agitator, 500-gallon water tank, and telescopic extendable chute. New chains and tracks installed in 2024.

How does Zimmerman's patented dual-chain feed system work? +

The dual-chain system of the Zimmerman volumetric mixer uses two independent chains to meter sand, stone, and cement from separate compartments into the mixing auger. This design ensures accurate proportioning and allows dispensing individual materials when needed, providing superior mix consistency and operational flexibility.

How much concrete can this high-flow Zimmerman mixer produce per hour? +

This high-flow Zimmerman volumetric mixer produces up to 30 cubic yards of concrete per hour. This production rate suits medium commercial jobs, residential projects, and municipal work while allowing continuous production as long as materials are loaded.

What is the flowable fill option and how does it expand revenue opportunities? +

Flowable fill (CLSM – controlled low-strength material) is self-leveling concrete used for backfill, utility trenches, and void filling. This option expands revenue beyond traditional concrete into excavation support, pipe bedding, and abandoned structure filling applications.

What is the actual capacity and how does it compare to ready-mix trucks? +

This 9-yard Zimmerman volumetric mixer’s capacity means the truck can carry enough raw materials to produce 9 cubic yards of concrete before needing to reload. Unlike traditional barrel mixers that must return to the plant when empty, volumetric mixers produce concrete on-site from separate compartments of sand, stone, cement, and water. This provides flexibility to adjust mix designs and eliminates waste from unused concrete.

Can this Zimmerman volumetric mixer produce different concrete strengths on the same job? +

Yes. Operators of the Zimmerman volumetric mixer adjust material feed rates to change mix designs instantly. You can pour 3,000 PSI sidewalk mix, then immediately switch to 4,000 PSI structural mix without returning to a plant—impossible with barrel mixer trucks.

What types of concrete work is this equipment best suited for? +

This Zimmerman volumetric mixer truck excels at residential concrete work (driveways, patios, sidewalks), small to medium commercial projects, municipal repair work, remote location pours, and any jobs requiring multiple mix designs or small quantities. The ability to produce concrete on-site makes it perfect for jobs where traditional ready-mix access is limited or where exact quantities prevent waste.

How does the 500-gallon water tank capacity compare to job requirements? +

The 500-gallon tank of the 9-yard Zimmerman volumetric mixer provides sufficient water for approximately 5-6 cubic yards of typical concrete mix (using standard 5-6 gallons per cubic yard). For the 9-yard capacity, one refill mid-load covers most jobs efficiently.

What makes the telescopic extendable chute beneficial for concrete placement? +

The telescopic chute of the Zimmerman volumetric mixer extends reach for difficult placements, reducing need for wheelbarrows or conveyors. It allows direct pour into forms, trenches, or elevated areas, improving efficiency and reducing labor costs on residential and commercial jobs.

Why is the Mack GU713 a preferred chassis for this volumetric concrete mixer? +

The GU713 offers robust frame strength, multi-axle configurations for heavy payloads, proven powertrain reliability, and excellent parts availability. Its purpose-built vocational design handles constant stop-and-go concrete delivery operations better than conventional highway tractors.

What are the ongoing maintenance requirements for the ZImmerman volumetric mixer? +

Regular maintenance for the Zimmerman volumetric mixer includes daily cleaning of the mixing auger and material feed system, weekly inspection of chain tension and wear, monthly lubrication of moving parts, and quarterly calibration checks to ensure accurate material proportioning. The 500-gallon water tank should be drained and cleaned periodically. Zimmerman provides comprehensive operator training and offers parts through their ZIPS (Zimmerman Interactive Parts System) online ordering system.

What engine and transmission does this 2018 Mack GU713 have and how does it support mixer operations? +

Typically equipped with Mack MP7/MP8 diesel (12.8L, 405-505 HP) and mDRIVE automated manual or Eaton Fuller manual transmission. These provide reliable power for hydraulic mixer operation and excellent low-speed maneuverability for jobsite placement.

How does the 95,500 lb GVWR and multi-axle configuration benefit volumetric mixer performance? +

The multi-axle setup (front: 20,000 lbs, intermediates: 51,000 lbs combined, rear: 13,500 lbs) distributes weight meeting Federal Bridge Law. This allows maximum material payload while maintaining legal highway compliance and excellent stability during concrete production.

What is the expected service life and durability of the Mack GU713 chassis? +

Mack GU713 chassis routinely achieve 300,000-500,000+ miles in vocational service with proper maintenance. The heavy-duty frame, robust axles, and proven Mack powertrains are engineered for decades of concrete delivery duty exceeding lighter-duty chassis longevity.

What are typical fuel economy and operating costs for this truck/mixer combination? +

Expect 4-6 MPG depending on route density and jobsite conditions. Operating costs include fuel, DEF fluid, routine maintenance (oil changes every 25,000 miles), and mixer-specific items (chains, hydraulics). Volumetric mixers eliminate plant fees and concrete waste costs.

What maintenance was recently performed and what are ongoing requirements for both mixer and truck? +

New chains and tracks installed in 2024. Ongoing: daily mixer cleaning, weekly chain inspection, monthly lubrication, quarterly calibration. Truck maintenance follows standard Mack intervals. The 500-gallon tank requires periodic draining and cleaning for water quality.

What is the current mileage and overall condition of this unit? +

Mileage ranges between 120,000-125,000 miles. Recent investment in new chains and tracks (2024) indicates well-maintained equipment. Seller provides detailed service records, additional photos, and video documentation upon request. Contact David Daniel at 434-202-4864 for inspection scheduling.

Can I get parts/service for this Zimmerman volumetric mixer? +

Yes. Zimmerman Industries (founded 1962, Ephrata PA) stocks over 2,000 parts with rapid shipping. ZIPS online system provides 24/7 parts ordering, digital manuals, and technical support. Direct manufacturer support without intermediaries. Phone: 717-733-6166. Third-party dealers also stock Zimmerman components nationwide.

My business has used concrete equipment to sell. How much does it cost to advertise on ConcreteIron.com? +
