Update:2025-11-05



A concrete mixer, as the name suggests, is actually an indispensable concrete mixing equipment for a mixing plant. Common types of concrete mixers include forced mixers and self-falling mixers. Concrete mixers can be widely applied in large-scale construction projects, such as roads, Bridges, water conservancy, etc. And it is a highly efficient device. Today, Taurus Construction Machinery will take you to have a detailed understanding of concrete mixers

The task of concrete mixers in mixing plants is very important. They consume a large amount of equipment, so we should be more familiar with the operation of concrete mixers. Next, we will explain in detail the operation process and the precautions during the operation

I. The process of using a forced internal mixer


Before using the mixer, first rinse the cavity clean with a small amount of mortar, and then scrape off the mortar; otherwise, the cement mortar adhering to the cylinder wall will gradually flow away. According to actual needs, different concrete raw materials are weighed out, and then stones, sand and cement are added to the concrete mixer in sequence. Start the mixer slowly. During the stirring process, add water slowly and evenly to mix the materials evenly. The feeding time should be controlled within two minutes. After adding water, continue to stir for about two minutes. Pour the mixture onto the iron plate and then stir manually for one to two minutes to ensure that the mixture is thoroughly and evenly mixed. Finally, turn off the power and clean the instrument.

Ii. Precautions during the Use of the Mixer


1. The mixer should be supported by a stand and placed in a solid location.


2. Before using the mixer, it should be inspected to ensure that the equipment controller and components are in good condition before normal operation. There must be no foreign objects in the bucket of the mixer; otherwise, it will affect the subsequent mixing effect.


3. When the mixer rises into the hopper, for safety reasons, no one is allowed to pass or stay under the hopper. When the mixer is running, tools cannot be inserted into the mixing drum.


4. If on-site maintenance is required, the hopper of the mixer needs to be fixed and the power supply must be cut off before maintenance can be carried out. If you want to enter the mixing drum, someone needs to be on guard outside.
