Concrete is a mix made up of cement, admixtures, water and fine aggregates such as sand, gravel or crushed rocks. These days, no construction work can be carried out without concrete. Earlier, the workers used to mix the concrete manually, which was a time consuming operation. So, for avoiding this wastage of time and labor Concrete Mixers are invented. These mixers are used to mix the concrete so as to save both time and labor. Concrete Mixer: Structure and Operations A Concrete Mixer is an equipment which has a metallic body, and generally uses a revolving drum in which all the elements needed for making concrete i.e. water, cement, aggregates and admixtures are added in a definite proportion. These elements are mixed together to produce a good quality concrete, which do not gets harder as quickly as the hand mixed concrete gets. It is very important for the Concrete Mixer to maintain the homogeneity of the material in a short span of time. Diesel, petrol and electric motors are used to run these mixers. Types Of Concrete Mixers Depending upon the operation, there are two broad categories of these mixers which are as follows: - Batch Mixers
Batch Mixers are basically concrete mixing equipment that make the specified amount of concrete in a single batch. When one batch is complete, the next round of materials is added to the mixer to produce the next batch. Such Concrete Mixers are further sub-divided into two types on the basis of the axis of rotation i.e. horizontal (drum mixers) and vertical (pan mixers). - Drum Mixers
- Pan Mixers
- Continuous Mixers
These Concrete Mixer work in continuity as the name suggests. The material in these mixers is continuously fed at the same rate at which the concrete is discharged. They take a short mixing time. There are various other types of concrete mixers like Twin Shaft Mixers, Stationary Mixers and Mobile Cement Mixers which are used at various construction sites.
