This case study highlights the long-term reliability and advanced capabilities of CO-NELE planetary concrete mixers in a demanding application: the production of Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) cladding. The project utilizes the CO-NELE CMP1500 and CMP2000 models.

[The Challenge: Precision Mixing for Premium Products]

Producing UHPC is a technically challenging process. It requires a mixer capable of:

* Handling extremely low water-to-cement ratios.

* Efficiently incorporating high volumes of fine powders (like silica fume) and fibers.

* Achieving a perfectly homogeneous, lump-free mixture without balling of fibers.

* Providing consistent, repeatable results for high-value architectural products.

[The CO-NELE Solution: Engineered for Excellence]

The customer selected the CO-NELE CMP1500 and CMP2000 UHPC planetary mixers for this critical task. These mixers are specifically designed for high-performance mixing:

* Powerful Mixing Action: The planetary movement (rotating drum and counter-rotating blades) ensures every part of the mix is subjected to intense shear and kneading, essential for coating all particles and dispersing fibers evenly.

* Robust Construction: Built with heavy-duty materials and high-torque motors to handle the dense, abrasive UHPC mixes without strain.

* Precision Control: The system allows for precise control over mixing speed and time, guaranteeing batch-to-batch consistency.

[The Result: Uninterrupted Operation and Lasting Quality]

The success of this installation is measured not just in the quality of the panels produced but in the remarkable longevity of the equipment itself.

* Superior Product Quality: The mixers consistently produced the flawless, high-strength UHPC required for intricate decorative panels.

* Exceptional Equipment Longevity: A follow-up confirmed that the CO-NELE CMP1500 and CMP2000 UHPC mixers were still in good operation in 2025 (initial installation in 2018) . This demonstrates their outstanding durability and low total cost of ownership.

* Trusted Partnership: The reliable performance solidified CO-NELE's role as a trusted partner in the customer's production process.

"This project underscores the core strengths of CO-NELE equipment: precision for specialized applications and durability for long-term value. The fact that these mixers were still operating perfectly years later is the best testament to their quality."
