The self-loading concrete mixer is a construction vehicle that combines the functions of a loader, a concrete mixer and a transporter. It integrates loading and mixing functions, can achieve efficient on-site concrete production, and is widely used in small and medium-sized construction projects.

 

What Is A Self-loading Concrete Mixer Truck?

 

A Concrete Self Loading Mixer is a construction vehicle that can load, mix, transport and unload concrete on its own. It is designed to automatically load, mix and unload concrete at construction sites. It is equipped with an automatic loading system, such as buckets and conveyor belts, and can automatically load concrete raw materials such as cement, aggregates (sand, stone, etc.), and water. The raw materials can be collected directly from the site. After loading, the truck can mix the concrete in the drum and ensure that the concrete is evenly unloaded at the designated location.

 

Self Loading Cement Mixer is highly automated and integrated specialized vehicles that is widely used in various construction and infrastructure construction projects, such as highway construction, building construction, and on-site pouring of concrete roads. Compared to traditional concrete mixer trucks, these trucks are usually smaller and more compact, making them ideal for remote areas and areas without easy access to large mixing facilities. External labor and transportation costs can be minimized.

Importance Of Self Load Concrete Mixer In Construction

 

Improve Efficiency And Save Costs

 

The self loading transit mixer integrates all the functions of concrete loading, mixing and transportation. It can load, mix and transport concrete directly on site, which can shorten the construction period. Compared with traditional concrete transport vehicles, the self-loading mixer truck does not require additional loading equipment, can mix concrete on site, improve work efficiency, and reduce labor and transportation costs.

 

Flexible Adaptation To complex Construction Environment

 

Self loading concrete mixer with pump has a compact design, moderate size and high flexibility. It can enter narrow places and complex construction sites that traditional concrete mixer trucks cannot reach, so it is very suitable for urban construction, rural construction and remote infrastructure construction.

 

Mixing On Site Ensures Concrete Quality

 

Traditional concrete mixer trucks require long transportation, which may cause the quality of concrete to be damaged. The self load mixer can mix directly on the construction site and continue to mix concrete during transportation, which ensures that the concrete remains uniform and of high quality when it arrives at the construction site, and improves the construction effect of concrete.

 

Enhance Safety On Construction Sites

 

The operation system of the self loading mixture is simple and automated in design, which reduces the risk of accidents during operation and the need for additional loading personnel on site, helping to improve the safety of the entire construction. At the same time, it also reduces the possibility of human error. The construction team can ensure the proportion and mixing quality of the materials, making construction simpler and more efficient.

The Basic Structure Of A Concrete Self Loading Mixer

 

The multiple basic structures of self loading mixer machine play an important role together to ensure that the loading, mixing, transportation and unloading of concrete can be completed efficiently at the construction site.

 

Concrete Mixing Drum

 

Responsible for mixing concrete. The mixing bucket is usually cylindrical and rotates through an electric or hydraulic drive system. The front end of the mixing tank is connected to a reducer and installed at the front of the frame, and the rear end is supported by two support wheels installed at the rear of the frame through rollers. There is a spiral mixing blade inside to prevent the separation of cement and aggregate. It ensures that the concrete remains uniform during transportation.

 

Hydraulic System

 

Converts the engine’s output into hydraulic energy through a power take-off and into mechanical energy through a motor to provide the power required for the rotation of the mixing drum. This is the power source of the self-loading concrete mixer truck, allowing the mixer truck to efficiently complete the process of loading, mixing, transportation and unloading.

 

Drive System

 

The drive system is driven by a diesel engine to drive the rotation of the concrete mixing bucket, the operation of the hydraulic system and the driving of the vehicle. The transmission system can convert the engine’s power into hydraulic energy through the power take-off and then into mechanical energy through the motor, so that the power generated by the engine is efficiently transmitted to the mixing and moving system.

 

Control System

 

Self load concrete mixer control system controls the rotation speed and direction of the mixing tank and the operation of the unloading system, including the operation panel and remote control equipment in the cockpit, as well as the main components such as controllers, sensors, and actuators, allowing the operator to easily perform various operations.

 

Unloading System

 

The unloading system includes an adjustable unloading chute, an auxiliary unloading chute, an unloading door, a locking mechanism, etc., and can unload the mixed concrete from the mixing tank and accurately guide it to the required position on the construction site through the control of the electric or hydraulic system.

 

Safety Devices

 

The safety devices include emergency brake systems, overload protection devices, sliding devices, warning lights, protective covers, etc., which can quickly stop the rotation of the mixing tank and the movement of the vehicle in an emergency, preventing equipment damage and casualties. It ensures the safety of workers and the construction site, and improves the safety and stability of the vehicle.

 

 

Working Process Of Self Loading Transit Mixer

 

The workflow of the self loading concrete mixer truck goes through six major steps: pre-start preparation, loading, mixing, transportation, unloading, and cleaning, to ensure efficient and stable collection of concrete from the construction site to the final pour.

 

Preparation

Before starting the self loading transit mixer, all parts of the vehicle should be carefully checked, such as whether there is enough hydraulic oil in the fuel tank, hydraulic pump, and motor. Make sure the mixing joystick is in the neutral position, and then start the car engine.

 

Loading

The loading bucket of the mixer truck automatically adjusts its position through the hydraulic system, and the operating handle starts to feed the mixing drum at the appropriate speed. The speed of the mixing drum is adjusted as needed. Collect the required cement, sand, gravel, etc. from the construction site. The weighing system ensures that the concrete ratio is accurate.

 

Mixing

After loading, the mixing bucket with spiral mixing blades starts to rotate by hydraulic or electric drive to mix evenly and form the required concrete. During the mixing process, water and other ingredients are added to the mixing bucket as needed to ensure the humidity and fluidity of the concrete.

 

Transportation

During transportation, the driver should always pay attention to the rotation state of the mixing tank and the loading amount of concrete to prevent material separation and solidification, and ensure that the concrete is always uniform. When driving, make sure that the vehicle speed is within a safe range.

 

Unloading

After arriving at the construction site, start the unloading process through the control system and ensure that the unloading port is consistent with the injection position to avoid waste and overflow. During unloading, adjust the speed of the mixing drum and the unloading speed as needed.

 

Cleaning

After use, parts such as the mixing tank, trough, and rollers must be cleaned to prevent concrete from remaining in the mixing bucket and drying and solidifying. Self loading cement mixer is equipped with a water tank and automatic cleaning function. Start the cleaning system and use water to clean the mixing bucket and loading bucket.

 

 

Precautions When Driving A Self Loading Mixture

 

1. Before driving, check the hydraulic system, engine, fuel, brake system, tires and water tank of the self loader concrete mixer, and ensure that all parts are in good working order.

 

2. To prevent injuries caused by accidents, the operator should wear personal protective equipment such as safety helmets, safety shoes, goggles and gloves.

 

3. Carefully read and understand the instruction manual of the self-loading concrete mixer truck, understand the performance, characteristics and operation method of the vehicle, so that the self loading cement mixer can pass and drive safely.

 

4. When loading concrete, ensure that the mixer truck is parked stably, pay attention to the tilt angle and loading capacity, and avoid overloading.

 

5. During the mixing process, the mixing time should be reasonably controlled to prevent the mixing bucket from standing still for a long time to prevent the concrete composition from becoming uneven.

 

6. When transporting concrete, control the driving speed to avoid concrete stratification and solidification. Observe traffic rules and pay attention to driving safety.

 

7. Take appropriate driving measures according to changing road conditions, and pay attention to changes in road conditions such as road inclination, curves, and slippery surfaces.

 

8. When unloading, make sure that the unloading port is consistent with the injection position, and adjust the tilt angle and speed of the mixing drum to ensure that the concrete is discharged evenly.

 

9. During the cleaning process, pay attention to use suitable cleaning tools and cleaning agents to prevent concrete residues from drying.

 

10. To extend the service life of the mobile self loading concrete mixer , regularly check the operating condition of the hydraulic system, mixing system and various components, such as changing the lubricating oil, checking the electrical system, and cleaning the filters.
