Function Of Self-loading Concrete Mixer

Construction industry depends on concrete mixers to produce large amounts of concrete and today, there are many different types of concrete mixers. One common type of concrete mixer is the self loading concrete mixer, which is becoming very popular choice among the concrete producers. It is one of the newer concrete mixers and very well accepted. The self loading concrete mixer is used for several applications, including as loading, mixing, transferring and pouring concrete. Either stationary or mobile, depending on the required application, the self loading concrete mixer works on same principle and has the same function.

The self loading cement mixer reduces the manual work to incredible extent and provides its operator with very accurate operation and very quality concrete. A typical self loading cement mixer is consisted of a long chute that is used for loading and unloading concrete and is located at the top of the mixing unit. The cement ingredients about to be mixed are inserted into the drum through the chute, which is angle adjustable, depending on the position of the rotating drum of the self loading cement mixer. The drum is being rotated by the hydraulic gear or similar motor that powers the main engine of the self loading cement mixer. With several blades in it, the mixture of cement, water and aggregate are rolling and turning into the drum. Once the drum is rotating reversely, the concrete is ready for use and can be poured out of the drum.

When the mixing process is done, the self loading concrete mixer should be flushed immediately. If not cleaned on time, especially the cement mixer bowl, the cement will harden and you now how hard is removing dry cement. The maintenance costs are not high as it does not require specific care. Speaking of costs, the owning and operational costs of the self loading concrete mixer are very low and cost effective. The self loading concrete mixer needs only one person for operating, which saves some extra money from not employing additional worker. Additionally, it saves lots of money from not transporting concrete, but producing it, and because it has its own water tank. So, as the self loading cement mixer works directly on-site, it reduces the need of additional expensive construction equipment, such as pumps, loaders, cranes and others.
