Does your quarry or contracting business need to produce products that meet tight construction material specifications? Do you require equipment that provides accurate, exact blending results, and high processing volumes?
The IMS line-up in New Zealand has been boosted by the addition of the BP1200-48TB track blender, and the tracked PM1200-20TB pugmill. These high-capacity machines expand the range of tracked blenders and pugmills on offer. Both models fit seamlessly into the New Zealand market and are designed to bring improved results for clients in the quarrying, mining, construction, and recycling industries.
“There is a clear and obvious shift towards using more recycled and blended product in construction material,” said Garth Taylor, MIMICO’s Material Processing Business Manager. “So, we need to be able to offer the New Zealand market the best available equipment to allow operators to get the ideal outcome for their business.”

The new IMS machines offer accurate blending results along with high processing volumes.
“Exact blending is essential to meet tight specifications. The new IMS machines offer accurate blending results along with high processing volumes – providing operators the best of both worlds.”
Partnering with IMS is in line with MIMICO’s mission. “At MIMICO, we pride ourselves on offering only the best equipment and service to our customers. In practice, this means we are very picky about which brands we partner with,” explains Taylor.
“IMS produces a range of world class equipment that is well suited for New Zealand applications. IMS meets our needs because their equipment meets our customers’ needs.”
Why an IMS Blender and Pugmill?
An IMS Blending and Pugmill Plant can play a crucial role in modern construction and road building. They serve as sophisticated solutions for mixing diverse materials and meeting tight construction material specifications. These plants are equipped with feed bins for storing raw materials like aggregates and cement, which are then precisely weighed and conveyed to the heart of the system—a pugmill mixer.
Here, powerful rotating paddles blend the materials to exact specifications, overseen by a state-of-the-art control system that ensures each batch meets stringent quality standards. The mixer can also incorporate liquids for specific applications. This helps create everything from stable soil bases to wet-mix macadam essential for durable pavements.
This versatile equipment is particularly indispensable in large-scale infrastructure projects, where consistency and volume of output are paramount. Whether it’s for stabilising contaminated soils in land remediation efforts or crafting cement-treated layers for roads, an IMS plant’s ability to adjust mixing times and ingredients results in a perfect batch every time.
After mixing, the material is efficiently dispatched directly into transport trucks or moved to storage areas, ready for immediate use or further processing. This seamless integration of advanced technology and robust design makes the IMS Blending and Pugmill Plant a cornerstone in the construction industry’s ongoing quest for innovation and efficiency.
IMS BP1200-48TB blender
- Four separate 5-metre-long feed hoppers with separate conveyors. Each hold 12 cubic metres and are fitted with belt scales.
- All feeder belts are equipped with variable speed control to allow the operator to define material ratios from each bin.
- Powered by a CAT C7.1 generator that can be connected to mains power.
- Can drive a 24-metre radial stacker for extra stockpile capacity.
- Nord electric gear drive motors allow for a wide range of accurate speeds to suit low-percentage blends.
- Robust modular chassis with 4500mm long crawler tracks and hydraulically operated support legs to ensure complete stability when the machine is in operation.
- Controls are centrally located and easily accessible for the operator.
IMS PM1200-20TB pugmill
- A sweet solution for jobs that require high production material blending and mixing, with the bonus of a stockpiling capability.
- Two variable speed belt feeders, a cement weigh hopper, the option of an additional weigh hopper, liquid additive, and options of mixing shaft design.
- Two separate 5-metre-long feed hoppers, each holding 12 cubic metres, with the option of vibrating hydraulic tipping grids and a 3-metre-long pugmill, ensure a quality mix when adding high percentages of powders and liquids.
- Option to add two powders with two separate mobile silos, as well as two liquids.
Precise PLC Control
- The PM1200-20TB is fully automated using precise PLC control and recording systems.
- PLC system provides product certainty and quality for the operator ensuring the correct percentage of fines is added to a given product.
- Moisture can be recorded and controlled, further increasing the quality of the final product.
- Machines can be connected via Wi-Fi to a tablet in a loader or site office, allowing operators to remotely control the plant up to 100 metres from the machine.
