Common Environments: Mobile and Stationary mixers
at construction sites, mines, underground/infrastructure
sites. “Shotcrete” – sprayed concrete; Gunite, Collodial
grout application
Why use an Air Motor: Due to remote nature, air motors
make an ideal choice. Often 2-3 units used in this
application (mixing and pumping system)
Why Rotary Vane Technology is best:
Mixtures are dusty and dirty and application is exposed to
harsh outdoor environments, which rotary vane can
perform in
Alternatives can be:
For very high torque requirements, Hydraulic Motors, but
they are:
• Larger and heavier
• Very expensive
• Require service Radial Piston:
• For higher torque requirements- often 16AM with gear
reducer can meet similar need
• Complex componentry
• Significantly more expensive
Considerations: Often accompanied by gear-reducers
