A concrete mixer (also known as a cement mixer) is a specialized machine designed to combine cement, aggregate (sand, gravel, or crushed stone), water, and optional admixtures into a uniform concrete mixture. It ensures consistent quality, reduces manual labor, and accelerates construction processes on job sites ranging from small repairs to large-scale infrastructure projects.
Key Components
- Drum (or bowl): A rotating, pear-shaped or cylindrical container where mixing occurs. It typically tilts for loading/unloading.
- Blades or paddles: Fixed inside the drum to agitate and blend materials as the drum rotates.
- Power source: Electric motor, diesel/petrol engine, or hydraulic system (for truck-mounted units).
- Chassis/frame: Supports the drum and includes wheels or a stand for mobility.
- Discharge mechanism: Chute or opening for pouring mixed concrete.
