Technological revolution! CO-NELE vertical axis planetary mixer + core mold vibration process reshapes the benchmark for concrete pipe manufacturing

Energy-saving, strength leap, green production-Chinese equipment helps global infrastructure quality upgrade

Recently, CO-NELE, a world-leading manufacturer of mixing equipment, announced an innovative solution for concrete pipe production: through its independently developed CMP2000 2-cubic-meter vertical axis planetary mixer and core mold vibration pipe making process, it has successfully achieved industrialized and efficient production of large-diameter, high-performance concrete pipes. This technology combination has achieved multiple breakthroughs in strength, efficiency and environmental protection, providing a new generation of infrastructure material manufacturing template for municipal engineering, water conservancy construction and other fields.

Technical core: Strong combination to solve industry pain points
Traditional concrete pipe production generally faces problems such as uneven mixing, long demoulding cycle and high energy consumption. CO-NELE's innovative solution is based on two core technologies:

Vertical planetary mixer: It uses a 360° planetary mixing trajectory to achieve uniform treatment of difficult-to-mix materials such as ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) and dry hard concrete without dead ends, ensuring the consistency of pipe structure from the source, and reducing the energy consumption of the equipment by more than 20% compared with traditional models;

Core mold vibration process: Through the high-frequency vibration of the entire mold, the dry hard concrete is instantly compacted and formed, the strength of the pipe body can reach more than C50, and the impermeability and bearing capacity are significantly improved. At the same time, it realizes "vertical molding and demolding in minutes" (such as only 40 minutes to demold the Φ2800 pipe), completely breaking the bottleneck of production capacity.

Economic benefits and environmental protection value are highlighted
According to measured data, the concrete pipe mixing station solution brings systematic upgrades to pipe manufacturing companies:

Efficiency leap: single-shift output is 300% higher than traditional processes (taking Φ2200-Φ2400 pipes as an example, it can reach 15 sections/shift);

Cost optimization: precise distribution of dry hard concrete reduces cement waste by 30%, instant demoulding technology reduces steam curing energy consumption by 50%, and mold investment costs are reduced by 40% (only one set is required for the same caliber);

Green manufacturing: no waste slurry and wastewater are discharged throughout the process, and the pit vibration isolation design effectively controls noise, which is in line with the international low-carbon infrastructure trend.

Broad application prospects, verified by global customers
At present, co-nele planetary concrete mixers have been successfully used in the production of high-end pipes such as DN3000+ large-diameter drainage pipes, jacking pipes, special-shaped box culverts, etc., and exported to more than 80 countries and regions including Germany, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East. A large pipe manufacturing company reported: "The CO-NELE solution has increased the compressive strength of our jacking pipe products by 35%, shortened the delivery cycle by 60%, and won a key advantage in major project bidding."

Promoting the upgrading of industry standards
It is worth noting that CO-NELE, as an industry technology leader, has taken the lead in drafting the "Concrete Machinery Vertical Shaft Planetary Mixer" (T/CCMA 0154-2023) group standard. The deep integration of its equipment and technology provides a reusable Chinese solution for the intelligent and green transformation of the concrete products industry.
