Overview Summary

The Apollo Carmix 23 FX and MACONS MST 2 are self-loading concrete mixers with similar power and pricings. While the 23 FX offers a higher maximum speed and drum capacity, the MST 2 stands out with its larger bucket capacity and superior gradeability.

Apollo Carmix 23 FX

Pros:

Slightly higher gradeability (16° - 17°) for better slope climbing
Larger drum capacity (2.3 m³) for more concrete per load
Higher maximum speed (27 km/h) leading to faster on-site transit
Dual water tank system may provide better water management and mixing
Higher ground clearance (385 mm) could be advantageous on rough terrain

Cons:

Bucket capacity is smaller (400 L) leading to potential fewer materials per load
Does not include drum slewing capability compared to competitor
Unknown water pump capacity - could affect water intake efficiency

MACONS MST 2

Pros:

Greater bucket capacity (600 L) allowing for larger loads of raw materials
Features a drum slewing of 180° for flexible discharging
Higher gradeability (35%) enables better performance on steep slopes
Larger water tank (600 L) and higher water pump capacity (230 L/min) for potentially improved mixing
Electronic weighing technology might offer more precise measurements

Cons:

Lower maximum speed (21 km/h) which might slow on-site movement
Smaller drum capacity (2 m³) for concrete mixes compared to 23 FX
Slightly reduced ground clearance (355 mm) that could limit off-road capability

Closing Recommendation

The choice between Apollo Carmix 23 FX and MACONS MST 2 should be based on specific site requirements. For projects that require faster transit and larger batch mixing, the 23 FX is preferable. Conversely, the MST 2 is more suitable for sites with steeper gradients and the need for more flexibility in material handling and mixing.
