Concrete Mixer Truck
Concrete mixer trucks serve as essential transport machinery for concrete plants or mixing stations, linking these facilities to numerous construction sites. When used in conjunction with concrete pumps to perform "relay" delivery at the construction site, they eliminate the need for manual intermediate handling, enabling continuous concrete delivery directly to the pouring point.
This approach not only significantly boosts labor productivity and construction quality but also promotes orderly site operations. Its advantages are particularly evident in urban construction, especially on confined job sites.
⚙️ Mixer Truck Structure:
The specialized equipment primarily consists of a power take-off unit, hydraulic system, reduction gearbox, mixing drum, control mechanism, and cleaning system. Power is extracted via the PTO to drive the hydraulic system, converting mechanical energy into hydraulic energy to rotate the drum.
🚛 Types of Trucks:
1. Chassis: Self-propelled (Standard heavy-duty) or Trailer-mounted.
2. Transmission: Mechanically driven, fully hydraulic, or mechanical-hydraulic.
3. Capacity: Small (<3m³), Medium (3-8m³), and Large (>8m³). The 6m³ model is most common.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What is the capacity range of your concrete mixer trucks?
We offer a full range including small (below 3 m³), medium (3–8 m³), and large (above 8 m³) capacities to meet different construction needs.
What materials are used for the mixing drum?
Our tanks are constructed using High-Strength Wear-Resistant Steel (typically Q345 Manganese Steel) to ensure durability and a long service life.
Are the trucks compatible with automatic unloading?
Yes, our mixer trucks are designed with automatic unloading methods for high efficiency at the job site.
Can the painting and branding be customized?
Yes, we provide customization options for painting to meet your specific fleet branding requirements.
What chassis brands are available?
We offer various reliable chassis options including Dongfeng, HOWO, FAW, Foton, and Shacman.
How does the mixer maintain concrete consistency during transport?
The truck uses a hydraulic system powered by the PTO to continuously rotate the drum, keeping the concrete in motion and preventing segregation or setting.
