Economy and productivity are the distinctive elements of the DB X50. The DB X50 is the most economical and largest capacity concrete mixer with frontal loading ever made. Compact in size & highly agile, the DB X50 guarantees a maximum yield of 5.0 m³ of concrete in every batch. The unique positioning of the drum and the specially designed loading arm gives enhanced visibility during  loading and casting operations. The DB X50 is equipped with an innovative clamshell bucket which maximizes loading efficiency and thereby minimise the batching time. This enables reaching a daily productivity of up to 120-130 m³ of concrete. By equipping the DB X50 with the exclusive computerized batch controller system CBV 2.0, it is possible to obtain the production of certified quality concrete everywhere.

Features
PERFORMANCE AND HANDLING
‣ Low centre of gravity ensures unparalleled agility and stability
‣ 4 wheel drive and steering - All-terrain capability. Excellent off-road performance
‣ Hydrostatic transmissions enable easy movement
‣ Compact - Dramatically reduced dimensions allows the mixer to freely move in constrained locations
LOADING SYSTEM
‣ Automatic unloading hatch - prevents loading losses → Zero spillage of materials
‣ Grab bucket – 680 liters ensures high productivity
‣ Digital electronic water meter – control water inflow into the drum directly from cabin
‣ Great accuracy in aggregate weighing
CONCRETE BATCHING VEHICLE
‣ CBV version – A computerized electronic batching system ensures accurate precise dosing
‣ Fully integrated and interactive system, guides the operator right from entering the mix design, precise dosing, controlling the mixing time and ensuring homegenity of the final product.
‣ Multiple recipes can be saved
‣ Humidity percentage can be input and the system automatically adjusts the water inflow thus maintaining the water cement ratio.
‣ Batch report printed for every batch of concrete produced
‣ Final check of the quality of concrete produced
QUALITY CONCRETE
‣ Improved homogenization, reduced mixing times and greater quality of concrete
‣ Special double truncated cone-shaped drum with convex bottom
‣ Dual-screw mixing system
FLEXIBILITY AND PRODUCTIVITY
‣ Dual Controls for Mixing & Unloading
 - Can be controlled from Cabin
 - Can be controlled from ground

ERGONOMICS AND SAFETY
‣ Closed cabin installed to the left of the vehicle
‣ Ergonomic controls – multifunction joystick to the right of the operator
‣ Level 1 ROPS FOPS cabin - (Level 2 available as option)
COMFORT AND VISIBILITY
‣ Wide cabin wind screen and the specially designed loading arms improves visibility
‣ Cabin – Glass on three sides – Great visibility during loading as well as during casting
‣ Drum fitted at the rear in a slightly turned position - Enhanced visibility
‣ Anatomic seat (with seat belt) equipped with flexible suspension and height adjustment. Provides maximum comfort during long working hours and ensures operator safety
