Concrete Mixer Truck

Concrete mixer is a device that homogeneously combines cement, aggregate such as sand or gravel, and water to form concrete. A typical concrete mixer uses a revolving drum to mix the components. For smaller volume works portable concrete mixers are often used so that the concrete can be made at the construction site, giving the workers ample time to use the concrete before it hardens. 

Features

1.The chassis is newly developed. Gearboxes provide multiple shifts.Fuel consumption is reduced while climbing ability is increased.

2.Moreover,oil pump,motor and gear reducer are of famous brands to ensure faster discharge and work safety.

3.The drum body is made of Q345B Mn board with high wear-resistance.The concentricity is high.Feeding is designed easier.The special seals reduce the overflow problem.The seal head is punched. Deform or open welding do not happen.

4.The mixing drum is designed with big volume to ensure bigger storing and mixing space.The drum is slim which lowers the gravity center and ensures better stability.

5.The components are wear-resistant.High strength wear-resistant materials cover the discharge trough and increase the service life.The drum is argon-arc welded.The punched blades are deform resistant.The service life of drum and blades are at least twice as that made of normal materials.

6.Cleaning and watering are easy.Four waterways make the cleaning and watering process more convenient.

7.The discharge residue is small and speed is quick.The blades are designed by 3D curve logarithmic method.The discharge is even with a speed larger than 0.2m3/min.

The discharge residue rate is less than 0.1%--that is much lower than the national standard of 2%.

Special concrete transport trucks (in–transit mixers) are made to transport and mix concrete up to the construction site. They can be charged with dry materials and water, with the mixing occurring during transport. They can also be loaded from a "central mix" plant, with this process the material has already been mixed prior to loading. The concrete mixing transport truck maintains the material's liquid state through agitation, or turning of the drum, until delivery. The interior of the drum on a concrete mixing truck is fitted with a spiral blade. In one rotational direction, the concrete is pushed deeper into the drum. This is the direction the drum is rotated while the concrete is being transported to the building site. This is known as "charging" the mixer. When the drum rotates in the other direction, the Archimedes' screw-type arrangement "discharges", or forces the concrete out of the drum. From there it may go onto chutes to guide the viscous concrete directly to the job site. If the truck cannot get close enough to the site to use the chutes, the concrete may be discharged into a concrete pump, connected to a flexible hose, or onto a conveyor belt which can be extended some distance (typically ten or more metres). A pump provides the means to move the material to precise locations, multi-floor buildings, and other distance prohibitive locations. Buckets suspended from cranes are also used to place the concrete.
