Advantages of the forced-action concrete mixer
To assess the benefits of this equipment, it is worthwhile to consider its positive aspects:
- excellent mixing quality of various materials and components, even in complex combinations;
- possibility to choose the right equipment;
- fast and high quality mixing result;
- security in use;
- the inadmissibility of over-consumption of the solution, since the mixture will not flow;
- long service life when purchasing rubber scraper for blades;
- small maintenance costs;
- system operation in all conditions.
Concrete-type concrete mixers( rotary) show quite good efficiency. They can be used even for mixing gravel and crushed stone, the dimensions of which reach 40 mm. The device copes well with the rigid mixtures, which sometimes seem to be immovable. Such equipment is capable of distributing chemical additives and pigments throughout the mixture.
Design of the forced-action concrete mixer
Among the main elements of the construction of this equipment, we can distinguish:
- fixed bowl, which is fixed to the supports, and also has a slide gate on manual control and two loops required for lifting;
- is an activator of the forced type, which is placed in the bowl. The components of this element: racks, body, blades;
- drive from the gearbox.
With regard to the actuator drive, this element distinguishes such advantages as compactness, the use of high-quality materials for it, and also simplified operation due to the absence of a belt transmission. Due to the fact that the motor-reducer is under the bowl, any possibility of its damage is excluded. There is one feature in the construction of the concrete mixer - the blades can change the orientation relative to the bottom and walls. And this expands the scope of use of this equipment.
Modern forced concrete mixers are devices of cyclic action. For their work, at first components are buried, including gravel, sand, gravel stone, mineral and chemical pigments, cement. Then, water is poured in the volume, which is required for obtaining a certain consistency. The end of the cycle is accompanied by the opening of the slide gate, from where the mixture is poured into a container prepared in advance.
Scope of the forced concrete mixer
Concrete mixers are a large-format equipment that can cope with many tasks. These are good assistants, which will help:
- to prepare concrete;
- mix refractory mortar to decorate the stove or fireplace;
- make a glue or finishing mixture - cement or plaster.
