Pilecom Equipment, with more than twenty years of experience in supplying specialised machinery across various sectors, has been the sole distributor for Carmix in Australia since 2018. Since taking up this role, the company has provided customised solutions for several projects with complicated logistical requirements.

According to Boyd Cousins, the Managing Director and Shareholder of Pilecom Equipment, there have been some recent highlights for Carmix equipment in and around Australia. For instance, two of their large 5.5XL models have been working with a 45-tonne horizontal cement silo, batching 60 cubic meters per day for a solar farm near Mudgee in New South Wales.

The Carmix units have been used for transporting concrete down an extremely steep state forest track in St. Ives. They have also been used to transport more than 85 cubic meters of concrete up 1.5km of a very steep hill in Karratha for a new meteorology station.

Furthermore, Carmix units have been batching kerb concrete on Tiwi Island, and Pilecom is now also sending units to Papua New Guinea.

Boyd Cousins says that using Carmix units as a transit mixer is also a big area of opportunity. Contractors can provide state and telco operators with an alternative means to move concrete, which is much cheaper than using helicopters and multiple pump lines.

Pilecom Equipment has shown its expertise in providing specialised machinery for various sectors, and its partnership with Carmix has enabled it to engineer customised solutions for several projects.

Pilecom Equipment takes pride in its operations and construction division that possesses and operates Carmix machinery. This allows them to offer a comprehensive commissioning and handover scheme that includes training for operators and maintenance crews of their clients. They believe that providing the right training is important, and even have training managers from Carmix’s Italian factory to offer in-depth levels of training to their customers.

Their commitment to addressing the entire spectrum of cement handling is encapsulated by their ethos: “We don’t just sell equipment – we sell a concrete solution.” Carmix’s line-up includes six rough terrain 4×4 models, each meticulously crafted to satisfy specific concrete mix demands, and three cement handling devices, accommodating daily production volumes between 10 and 100 cubic metres.

Boyd approaches securing and supplying units that align with the necessities of Australian contractors with vigor. He believes that predicting client needs is fundamental, and that readiness of stock is crucial. However, aligning the right unit with the designated project is the real challenge. With their expertise and commitment to customer satisfaction, Pilecom Equipment is a great choice for construction equipment needs.

Carmix has been a leading provider of specialised concrete machinery for 50 years

Boyd points out that self-mixing concrete also brings the task of managing cement supplies to the forefront. To cater to this, Pilecom Equipment offers a variety of self-loading options:

• 20kg bags

• 1000kg bulk bags

• Bulk tanker cement weighing 25/28 tonnes.

• “In managing our inventory levels, we also take into account our clients’ need for cement handling solutions,” Boyd adds.

• To this end, Pilecom Equipment maintains a stock of:

• Carmix Bagger – a 3-tonne bulker bagger screw feed hoppers equipped with a Honda Engine, negating the need for a generator

• Carmix Silo HC46 – a 50-tonne horizontal silo featuring load cells and telescopic
