1. What is a concrete mixer truck?

The main purpose of the concrete mixer truck is to transport the concrete or mortar mixed in the concrete mixer to the construction site. Since the mixing tank of the concrete mixer truck can be rotated and stirred with adjustable speed, within the specified distance and time, the concrete can be largely kept from segregation, and the coarse aggregate will not settle and maintain a good state.

Concrete mixer trucks are mostly used in the construction of commercial batching plants and large-scale projects, so they must be equipped with overhead batching plants or concrete mixer trucks to allow tankers to pass through and receive materials. In addition, the concrete mixer truck has a piggyback use, that is, it can transport the same amount of cement as the loaded concrete.

2. What is the difference between a concrete mixer truck and a concrete mixer?

Concrete mixer truck is a transportation machine for short-distance transportation of concrete, and concrete mixer truck is a device for mixing cement, sand and other building materials. The concrete mixer is mainly used for on-site mixing in the construction industry, and the concrete mixer truck is used to transport the concrete mixed by the mixing equipment to the place where the concrete is used.

Usually, concrete mixer trucks are used in concrete batching plants. Commercial concrete is now widely popularized in large and medium-sized cities, which can save costs and reduce dust pollution.

3. What are the characteristics of concrete mixer truck?

Concrete mixer trucks play a connecting role in the entire transportation link and play a connecting role in the entire transportation network. They are widely used in construction projects. It has the ability to automatically load and unload concrete mixture, especially during transportation, it can mix concrete evenly and continuously, and it can also maintain the moisture content of concrete

Here are some characteristics of concrete mixer truck.

Professional

As can be seen from the name of the concrete mixer truck, this kind of mechanical equipment is mainly used for concrete manufacturing and transportation. The mixing and transportation of ready-mixed concrete mainly conveys the finished concrete mixed by the concrete batching plant. During transportation, the rotating speed of the mixing drum must be controlled at a low speed of about 3 rpm, and the concrete is continuously turned and stirred by the blades in the mixing drum to prevent separation or compaction caused by static electricity, and to ensure the quality of the concrete delivered to the construction site.

Usually, the speed is controlled between eight and ten revolutions per minute depending on the proportion of the concrete mix. To save time, the mixture can also be mixed into finished concrete during transport, which requires the addition of appropriate devices, such as water tanks. This kind of mixing will increase a large amount of transportation distance during transportation and prolong the setting time of concrete. Therefore, it is a good choice for long-distance transportation.

Although in order to increase the transportation distance and prolong the transportation time, using the mixed material to mix it into the finished material during transportation can save the fixed investment and increase the relative productivity. However, the disadvantages of this method are also obvious. It is difficult to obtain finished concrete of good quality, mainly due to the limitation of equipment to obtain homogeneous concrete. For the construction with strict requirements, it is best to use ready-mixed concrete for mixing and transportation, so most of the concrete mixers we see are ready-mixed concrete mixers on the road.

Time sensitive

Due to the characteristics of the above-mentioned ready-mixed concrete itself, the concrete must be delivered to the job site within two hours after production, which is very short for special concrete. Moreover, the pouring of concrete is continuous without any pause in the middle, which reduces the seepage rate of concrete, otherwise it will have a great impact on the quality of the project.

Short transport distance

The characteristics of strong timeliness limit the transportation distance. According to traffic laws and vehicle conditions, the reasonable distance is generally controlled within 20 kilometers.
