Overview Summary

Comparing Apollo Carmix 23 FX and VENUS ULTRA 4.0 self-loading concrete mixers reveals differences in power, capacity and price. The Carmix 23 FX is suitable for smaller projects and tight spaces, whereas the VENUS ULTRA 4.0 caters to larger scale work with its superior capacity and power.

Apollo Carmix 23 FX

Pros:

Equipped with a Kirloskar 49 HP engine providing sufficient power for small-site operations.
Beneficial for sites with limited space due to its smaller dimensions and maneuverability with 4WD/4WS.
Offers precised aggregate loading with hydraulically articulated shovel.
Features load-cell weighing technology for accurate mix designs.
Higher ground clearance of 385 mm which is beneficial for rough terrain.

Cons:

Lower engine power compared to the Venus Ultra 4.0 (49 HP vs 110 HP).
Smaller drum capacity of 2.3 m³ which may be limiting for larger projects.
Less robust compared to Venus Ultra 4.0 with a lighter unladen weight of 5600 kg.

VENUS ULTRA 4.0

Pros:

High maximum power of 110 HP which is suitable for larger and more demanding projects.
Larger drum capacity of 4.0 m³ that can cater to higher volume requirements.
Enhanced technology with hydrostatic transmission and hydrostatic transducer weighing system.
Greater water tank capacity (1000 L) for longer operation without the need for frequent refills.
Superior gradeability at 23°, allowing for better performance on slopes.

Cons:

More expensive with a higher price range of ₹ 40 – 44 Lakhs.
Lower ground clearance than Apollo Carmix 23 FX (380 mm vs 385 mm), although the difference is minimal.
Possibly too large for confined spaces due to wider overall dimensions.

Closing Recommendation

If efficiency and capacity for large-scale projects are paramount and budget is less of a concern, consider the VENUS ULTRA 4.0. On the other hand, if the project scope is smaller and requires a machine with good mobility and lower costs, the Apollo Carmix 23 FX would be a suitable option.
