An Ideal Mixer for Silo Construction 



The big problem of the silo 

 builder -and the general con- 

 crete contractor has been to 

 obtain a really portable mixer, 

 not too small in capacity and 

 yet at a low price. 



The Archer Special Concrete 

 Mixer supplies this want in 

 every respect. The placing of 

 the weight of the heavier parts 

 of the machine over the wheels 

 allows the mixer to be easily 

 lifted at the platform end and 

 moved around on the job 

 without trouble. 

 When moving from 

 one job to another 

 simply hook the 

 platform end onto 

 the back end of a 

 wagon and "you're 

 off." For Silo 

 building the mixer is 

 specially provided 

 with a hoisting drum 

 direct connected to 

 the countershaft. 



The mixer has a 

 capacity of 4% cubic feet of wet concrete per batch or 6 to 7 

 cubic feet of dry material. This allows a daily capacity of 50 cubic 

 yards which Is the amount we guarantee, although many contractors 

 have greatly exceeded this amount. 



The Archer Special mixer is not only adapted to Silo Building but 

 is particularly fitted for all classes of concrete work such as Founda- 

 tions, Sidewalks, Concrete Roads, Culverts, Bridges, etc. One of 

 the chief advantages of the mixer for general work lies in the End 

 Discharging feature, which makes it possible to spout concrete direct 

 into the forms in most cases thus saving the cost of wheeling. 



The End Discharge together with the Portability or easy mov- 

 ing feature gives the machine a special advantage over most types 

 of small mixers intended for use on jobs running up to 3,000 cubic 

 yards or less. While mixing costs vary according to the layout of 

 the jobs, the average labor cost with the Archer Special has been 

 determined to range around 40 cents per cubic yard of concrete 

 mixed and placed.
