KC3 have modified a Putzmeister Transmix self levelling screed machine. Originally manufactured with a combined material hopper to accept a pre blended mix of cement and binder for self levelling screed applications.

The B&K Systems machine being filled with cement and binder 

The customer Total Floor Solutions can achieve better rates on materials buying separately, so we carried out a number of modifications to allow the to use cement and binder to be loaded separately.

During the works.

Firstly we split the aluminium hopper into two with the fabrication of an extra compartment.

We also added an extra hatch and filling system as per OEM requirements.
