About
For over 80 years, the concrete industry has been trying to control and reduce concrete build up in ready mix trucks...
.... we are the revolution.
To date, nowhere in the world has there been a commercially viable and safe way of stopping this build up and it is considered that the problem is getting worse, with the addition of the many new additives and fibres to assist with stronger and faster curing concrete.
After unsuccessfully searching the world for a suitable system DrumBlaster was launched in 2014.
Between 2014 and 2017, DrumBlaster and Thoroughclean’s engineering department conducted field tests to prove the DrumBlaster would clean the drums efficiently and reliably using recycled water.
As part of this development, DrumBlaster conducted trials in Sydney, Melbourne, Amsterdam and Houston TX which have all been successful. All sites have produced a similar reduction in the build up of concrete by 85% or more.
