The article presents the evaluation of two design variants of mixer tool. The new obtained solution was the result of an optimisation process of geometrical parameters, such as: dimension, thickness, mass and shape. The initial parameters were acquired from concrete mixer in operation in Romania. The objective was to decrease the overall mass of mixer tools while improving its structural integrity. In addition, the new shape of equipment arms increases the process quality for the blending of mixture components.
