Types of track mixers and how they work

Truck mixers or concrete mixer trucks are classified into different types according to their technical specifications. They are divided according to the concrete carrying capacities defined for them in the range of 6 to 12 cubic meters. Another type of classification regarding truck mixers is related to how concrete is transported. Accordingly, they are divided into two general categories. Some of these trucks are used only for transporting ready-mixed concrete at the production site, but some of these trucks, in addition to transporting and transporting ready-mixed concrete, can also perform mixing at the same time. In this type of truck mixer, a certain amount of material and water is poured into the tank of the truck and mixing is done at the same time as it is transported. This type of track mixer is classified into three different types according to the same technical specifications.

Mixers with pumps are one of the most economical track mixers in terms of cost, and their use will bring many potential advantages. This type of truck mixers are able to discharge concrete at higher heights thanks to the use of a long pumping system. Trucks for transporting and mixing concrete reduce the amount of labor required by 50%.

This type of track mixer has its own characteristics. In general, this type of track mixer is a combination of mobile track mixers and batching facilities, and the potential advantages of these two systems are also seen in this type of track mixers. In these truck mixers, all the raw materials and raw materials considered for preparing concrete are stored and placed in separate tanks. Whenever needed, this truck can mix them with fresh concrete by measuring the required weight. This feature reduces the amount of waste of materials and materials, and for this reason, it causes many cost savings. In addition, the ability to carry concrete over long distances is one of the most important features and advantages of this type of concrete mixer.

Different types of track mixers have a very simple function, which largely depends on its type. As we mentioned above, simple truck mixers that are used only for transportation and mixer truck mixers are the two main types of these construction machines. In the case of simple truck mixers, it can be said that these trucks include a tank for storing concrete, which is emptied automatically. The operation of truck mixers is a little more complicated, in addition to the storage tank, it has equipment for mixing concrete. Mixing in this type of mixer is done through continuously rotating blades. The rotation speed of these vanes can be adjusted by the operator.
