Concrete Sand Heaters

DCR’s concrete sand heaters are an economical choice for self-contained sand heaters. The rotary drum, feed hopper, slinger conveyor, sealed-in burner assembly and controls are mounted on a portable 16-inch H-Beam frame to make positioning and installation easier than ever.

Why are DCR Sand Heater’s the best?

DCR has the ready-mix concrete supplier in mind. Our patented heating system provides full control over mix temperature to improve concrete mix quality, reducing finishing time while lowering maintenance and labor costs. Heated sand produces higher-quality winter-mix concrete, offering more heating transfer than water with a much longer thermal retention time.

DRUMS & Drive System

A drum rolled of high-strength steel and special flight design provides peak performance for the ready mix supplier. The drum is driven by DCR’s patented rubber tire drive system which reduces horse power, maintenance, and won’t slip on frosty mornings. The drive system works like a 4 wheel drive pickup to give maximized traction.

Sand Heater Burner

BURNER

A sealed-in burner with a 90-degree temp rise and direct drive blower with 12 oz of pressure uses less horsepower and retains more heat in the rotary drum. The burner control system strokes the burner from low fire to max fire. All sand heaters run on natural gas, or vapor propane with the option of fuel oil.
