Overview Summary

The Ajax AF 8XE and Sunbeam 85 XL transit mixers are both robust machines suitable for heavy-duty construction projects, but they differ in capacity, engine power, and efficiency features.

Ajax AF 8XE

Pros:
  • Nominal filling capacity of 8.0 cu m is suitable for steady concrete flow in heavy-duty construction work
  • Capable of a rotation speed from 0 to 12 rpm, allowing flexibility in mixing speed
  • Features a large water tank capacity of 450 L to facilitate adequate water for concrete mix
  • Separate engine drive for the drum ensures independence from truck engine
Cons:
  • Less nominal filling capacity compared to the Sunbeam 85 XL (8.0 m³ vs 9.0 m³)
  • Slightly smaller drum diameter than the Sunbeam 85 XL (2300 mm vs 2200 mm), which could affect mixing efficiency
  • Information on shell thickness, mixer weight with concrete, and engine power is not available

Sunbeam 85 XL

Pros:
  • With a nominal capacity of 9.0 cu m, it is designed for demanding, large-scale infrastructure projects
  • Higher rotation speed capability of 0-14 rpm for faster and more efficient mixing
  • Increased water tank capacity of 600 L, higher than Ajax AF 8XE, for more water availability
  • Offers engine power specification at 108.6 HP, providing a clear understanding of drum drive capability
  • Slave Engine/PTO option for drum drive provides versatility in operation
Cons:
  • Heavier empty weight at 5280 kg, which could result in higher fuel consumption or reduced payload capacity
  • Larger overhang measurement (1240 mm) which might affect maneuverability in tight spaces
  • Water pump pressure is lower at 4 bar compared to 5-6 bar of Ajax AF 8XE, which could impact water discharge

Pros:
Cons:

Closing Recommendation

If you require higher capacity and potential mixing efficiency for large-scale projects, the Sunbeam 85 XL may be the more suitable choice. However, if you prioritize a mixing operation that is independent of the truck's engine and possibly a lower empty weight for the vehicle, then the Ajax AF 8XE could be preferable. Consider the specific requirements of your project when selecting the ideal transit mixer.
