Auto Concrete Mixer

The auto concrete mixer is a special kind of a transit truck mixer and is mainly used at construction areas, where it ensures that the concrete is continually getting delivered and mixed.
Before the introduction of the auto concrete mixer, one had to make use of stationary concrete mixers.

Transit truck mixers are powered either by the traction motor of the truck chassis or by a separate motor. The payload of the truck is higher if the hydraulic system is powered by the truck motor itself.
There are not only concrete mixers which are attached to the truck chassis, but also separate trailers with the same feature which can be connected to a tractor.

Auto concrete mixers are available in 3 different sizes. A 3-axis truck comes with a batch capacity up to 6 or 7 m³ and a 4-axis truck with a concrete mixer can store up to 8-9 m³. But there are also special versions with batch capacities from 10 to 12 m³. In rare cases, companies make use of auto concrete mixers as semi-trailers with a capacity of 15 m³.

In order to discharge the fresh concrete, auto concrete mixers are equipped with the so called ‘slides’, through which the liquid concrete pours out. The interior of the drum is equipped with shovels, which, depending on the direction of rotation of the drum, serve to either mix or let down the concrete.
