We all know that one of the stages of building construction is the preparation of concrete and concreting, which is one of the most important parts of construction. To do this part perfectly, you have to use many tools and machines to get the desired result. Among the devices used in this process, we can mention the track mixer.
What is a Mixer Track?
Truck mixers are made for the purpose of transferring and mixing concrete, in these two cases, sometimes it is first mixed and then loaded, but in other cases, mixing and transportation are done simultaneously. This device is made by placing its equipment on a chassis or semi-trailer, and its total weight is usually between 9 and 14 tons, which makes it able to carry about 18 tons.
What parts of the mixer is comprised of?
A track mixer consists of 14 different sections, each of which has a specific task. Drum or pot, pot roller ring, pot duct, blade, drum roller, raw material input funnel, water and material flow guide, main shot or supplementary shot are among these items. If any of these parts and sections are damaged, the entire performance of the mixer will suffer. Among other sections and parts of track mixers, the following list can be mentioned: Truck water tank Truck chassis Operator equipment and devices Special work platform Hydraulic motor
What are the applications of a mixer trache?
Truck mixer is used in most of the fields related to construction, including construction projects. In simpler words, wherever there is talk of preparation and transfer of concrete, the truck mixer can be used. It is worth noting that track mixers are mostly used for large projects. In addition to construction, track mixers are used in many fields such as city planning, dam construction, bridge construction, mining and tunnel construction. You may ask yourself why concrete is used in tunneling? In this regard, we must say that in the tunnel construction process, there may be unused spaces and need to be filled. In this case, using a truck mixer, concrete can be filled in the desired empty space and that section.
The processes associated with the tracks of mixers are:
Loading: Inside the body of the concrete pot, a spiral blade is embedded. Rotating in one direction causes concrete or raw materials to move to the bottom of the pot. When transporting concrete to the workshop, rotation takes place in the same direction. Mixing: The continuous rotation of the pot during the transfer of the mixture prevents the concrete from setting quickly. Discharge: Rotation in the opposite direction of loading, a structure similar to the Archimedes screw causes the concrete to move towards the outlet of the boiler. In this way, the movement of the mixture towards the shot allows the direct placement of concrete in the mold.
Importance of the Mixer Track:
The advantages of using a truck mixer in the concrete transport system are as follows: Time Saving time means that any construction project can receive the desired concrete in the specified time. This is done by a truck mixer, and this big machine brings the concreting process of projects to their destination by carrying and mixing concrete. capacity The truck mixer transports concrete from 0.5 cubic meters to 8 cubic meters. This means the machine can supply concrete in large volumes for large-scale projects. Mixer vehicles leave for the project site at the appointed time to perform concreting based on the required area. Cost When the concrete mixer truck is loaded, the ready-mixed concrete will be economical. This will save labor costs and other manual production costs of the project. Transporting concrete with a truck mixer can save hours of work. With built-in mixers, you'll never have the wrong grade of concrete or accidentally mix the wrong ingredients yourself.
