SIMEM SpA

SIMEM SpA, founded in 1963 and headquartered in Minerbe near Verona, Italy, is a global manufacturer of concrete batching plants, mixing equipment, and environmental treatment systems with over 5,000 installations across 120 countries. The company operates through three divisions: Simem Concrete for batching plants, Simem Spil for precast automation (acquired 2018), and Simem Underground for tunneling and mining (established 2017 in Abbotsford, BC, Canada). SIMEM's environmental product line addresses water recycling and waste immobilization in the concrete and industrial sectors. The BETONWASH system recovers aggregates and water from concrete washout through an inclined drum spiral separator, available in 10 and 25 m³/h capacities. WATERWASH filters slurry water through large filter panels to produce discharge water with solids content below 0.1 g/L, including integrated pH metering and adjustment. SUPERWASH delivers automatic high-pressure mixer cleaning at approximately 200 bar. CHILLCRETE provides air-cooled chillers producing water at 5°C for concrete temperature control. On the mixing side, SIMEM manufactures twin-shaft mixers (RHYNO, MSO, MDC, ReMDC), planetary mixers (XENTRIX with central cement/water/admixture inlets and SUN), and the VORTIMIX colloidal mixer that uses high-shear milling above 1,500 RPM to produce homogeneous slurry and grout, preventing material separation and bleed. The BISON super-mobile batching plant pairs with the MDC continuous twin-shaft mixer for on-site soil stabilization, contaminated soil immobilization, and industrial sludge solidification. Conveying and distributing systems include DISTRICRETE, KANGAROO, KOALA, TURTLECRETE, and PELICAN for concrete placement within batching operations.
