Concrete mixer with the names concreter, mixer and mixer is a device that is used to mix concrete raw materials and in order to prepare a uniform concrete mix with different volumes of 250 liters, 300 liters, 400 liters, 500 liters, 750 liter, 800 liter and 1000 liter are made for use in construction projects. The concrete mixer consists of a rotating steel barrel in which aggregates, cement, sand, sand, water and other additives are mixed. This device can be used to mix cement, mortar, plaster and other materials.
In the mixer, materials are homogeneously mixed, and accuracy in their measurement and the order of adding materials in the mixer is also very important for concrete standardization. Some aggregates are brittle and over mixing should be avoided to avoid cracking and negative effects on the concrete mix and wetting of the concrete. Over-mixing of the materials in the mixer can lead to watery concrete, and the concrete mixer should not be moved while it is on to avoid damage to the motor. Therefore, the use of concrete mixers requires trained manpower.
Concrete produced in concrete mixers is of higher quality, and the reasonable price of these devices has led to their widespread use in concrete pouring projects. But it should be known that for the production of concrete in small quantities (30 cubic meters of concrete per day), a concrete mixer is used. The capacity of the concrete mixer is determined based on liters and according to the discharge system, they are divided into manual and hydraulic types. This device is portable and can be used in different projects.
Handheld concrete mixer
These types of concrete mixers are manually operated and usually have a small tank with rotating handles. Their capacity varies between 120 and 1000 liters, and they are designed in two models, the lower gear and the lower gear. Manual concrete mixers are suitable for small projects, including laboratory projects and small construction projects.
Hydraulic Concrete Mixer
This model of hydraulic system is used to discharge the concrete mixture. Hydraulic concrete mixer is very popular in heavy and industrial projects due to its high strength and ease of quick discharge. Using this model helps reduce operation time and increase productivity.
Fixed Concrete Mixer
This type of mixer is used in batching plants and is used to produce ready concrete and special types of concrete. These mixers are available in different models such as drum mixer, pen mixer, single shaft mixer and twin shaft mixer.
Two Wheel Concrete Mixer
Unlike fixed concrete mixer, this type of concrete mixer is easy to move and is used for small and medium projects. Its light weight and smooth wheels allow easy transportation, which is why it is very useful for small projects.
Four Wheel Concrete Mixer
Four-wheeled concrete mixers are more stable and suitable for uneven environments. Due to its stability and better control, this type is used in larger projects that require mixing concrete at several points.
Baccated Concrete Mixer
This model is equipped with a loading bucket that mechanically transfers materials into the tank. This feature increases the loading speed and reduces the need for manpower. Bucket concrete is used in large-scale projects where the speed of operation is important.
