Firth Te Rapa Joins the Clean Revolution with Torojet

Firth Te Rapa Joins the Clean Revolution with Torojet Central Mixer Cleaning System

Following the successful installation of the Torojet Central Mixer Cleaning System at Firth Hornby, another forward-thinking site is stepping up its game—Te Rapa has now installed the same cutting-edge cleaning solution, aiming to achieve similar improvements in safety, efficiency, and cleanliness in their wet batch plant operations.

Inspired by Success: Lessons from Firth Hornby

At Firth Hornby, the Torojet system has already proven its value. By automating the cleaning of the central mixer bowl, the team has seen a dramatic reduction in concrete build-up and eliminated the need for regular jackhammering—a once-common, labor-intensive chore that came with safety hazards and significant downtime.

The key benefits they've enjoyed include:

✅ Daily cleaning prevents concrete from setting
✅ Even sticky mixes like kerbing are easily washed away
✅ Manual entry and chipping are now minimal

Te Rapa Aims for the Same Results

With these proven outcomes, Te Rapa is looking to replicate Firth Hornby’s success. The newly installed Torojet system is already being integrated into the batching routine, and early feedback is promising.

Smarter Cleaning, Safer Plants

The move to Torojet marks a strategic investment in automation, safety, and sustainability. With daily use, the system prevents early-stage concrete build-up, extending the life of the mixer and freeing up time for the team to focus on batching—not battling hardened concrete.
