Volumetric concrete mixers reduce wastage by delivering exact quantities on-site

The key benefit of volumetric concrete mixers is that they can carry raw materials and batch and mix concrete on-site, when and where it is needed. This means there is no waste and that it can travel between customers without having to keep returning to base to re-load, as would be necessary with a traditional truck concrete mixers. A volumetric mixer provides a very flexible type of service where all mixes and grades, including screed and mortar, can be delivered to customers successively, allowing more deliveries to be made in a day and therefore greater profits to be made. The also have the ability to supply from very small to very large volumes of concrete. Conventional concrete mixers are not fitted with electronic weigh-batching equipment, making profitable, small-quantity deliveries almost impossible.

With a volumetric mixer the customer can estimate how much concrete is needed and then the exact quantity will be mixed on-site and that is all they pay for.
