Dutch term

Dwangmengers

Dutch to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering
Dwangmengers gaan veel verder dan gewone betonmolens. Ze mengen de bouwstoffen veel intensiever en geven zo een betere output.

The text concerns concrete mixers - it's clearly a specific type of concrete mixer, but is it best translated as a 'powermixer' or a 'forced mixer' -
Proposed translations (English)
4 +1 forced action mixer
4 +1 forced concrete mixers

Lianne van de Ven Mar 23, 2009:
concrete forced mixer ...seems to give comparable image results (google) as dwangmenger
