An Overview of Self Loading Concrete Mixer

 At present, when concrete mixing and transportation are carried out in small-scale construction, water conservancy construction, road hardening construction and other occasions in remote areas, drum mixers or twin shaft mixers are often used. On-site transportation of the mixed concrete will consume a lot of human and material resources. And concrete mixers rely on other external machinery for feeding and discharging.

The self loading transit mixer is a kind of construction machinery that has gradually emerged in recent years. It integrates multiple functions such as feeding, mixing and transportation. It is much favored in India, Philippines, Uganda,etc, which is mainly used in road paving, dams, infrastructure construction and other related projects, as well as small projects in urbanization construction.

It main structure consists of walking chassis, engine, hydraulic torque converter, front and rear double drive axles, feeding device, feeding hopper, unloading hopper, extended unloading hopper, frame, mixing drum, special reducer for mixing, hydraulic system, electrical control system, automatic water supply system, etc.

The size of the small self loading concrete mixer is 5.6*2.2*2.6m (LxWxH) with capacity of 60 m3 per day; the size of the medium self loading mixer is 5.6*2.5*3.4m (LxWxH) with capacity of 80 m3 per day; the size of the large-scale self loading concrete mixer truck 5.6*2.8*3.4 (LxWxH) with capacity of about 100 cubic meters per day.

Steel is the skeleton of the self loading mobile concrete mixer, which directly determines the price of the mixer. 90% of a set of mixer trucks are steel, and a small increase in the price of steel will affect its ex-factory price.

The service life of the self loading concrete mixer truck is generally as long as ten years, and some small faults will inevitably occur during the use process, which will affect the production efficiency. Whether the self loading concrete mixer factory can provide in-time supporting services and spare parts is also a factor that affects the price.

For those who have experience in excavator or loader operation, the self concrete mixer truck is easy to operate. Even for inexperienced operators, Haomei Machinery will give systematic training, and they can learn to operate skillfully in one day.

After getting on the truck, the operator can adjust the seat according to his needs, and operate the joystick designed according to ergonomic principles to load the raw material into the bucket. The amount of material is displayed accurately immediately, completely avoiding the poor quality of concrete caused by improper mixing of raw materials.
