Selecting Tilting Drum Concrete Mixer and Automatic Concrete Mixer is an important part of building, infrastructure, and various construction projects. The right choice can improve work efficiency, ensure mixing quality, and reduce operation and maintenance costs. Below is a detailed selection guide, including key indicators, considerations and applicable scenarios.
I. Tilting Drum Concrete Mixer
1. Mixer capacity
Capacity Selection: Select the appropriate mixer capacity according to the construction needs, common ones are 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 cubic meters.
Suggestion: For large projects, choosing a larger capacity mixer can improve the working efficiency; for small projects, you can choose a small capacity to avoid wasting resources.
2. Power system
Type: Electric Concrete Mixer and Diesel Concrete Mixer.
Suggestion: Give priority to the Electric Concrete Mixer when there is reliable power supply; if in remote areas or areas with unstable power supply, consider the Diesel Concrete Mixer.
3. Mixing efficiency
Design: The angle of the tilting drum and the internal structure (such as the number and design of mixing paddles) will affect the mixing efficiency.
Suggestion: Choose the equipment with reasonable design and good mixing efficiency to ensure the uniformity of concrete.
4. Material and structure
Material: Usually high quality steel can increase the durability of the mixer.
Suggestion: Choose high-strength anti-rust and wear-resistant materials, especially for the mixing drum and scraper part.
5. Maintenance and overhaul
Ease of maintenance: The design should allow for easy routine maintenance and overhaul.
Suggestion: Find out whether the equipment is easy to dismantle and whether there are good maintenance guidelines and easily accessible spare parts.
Automatic Concrete Mixers
1. Degree of automation
Functions: Check its automatic feeding, mixing and automatic discharging functions.
Suggestion: Choose the equipment with intelligent control system, which can be controlled by PLC or computer to realize automated and efficient mixing.
2. Formula management
Function: Check whether the equipment supports the input and management of concrete formula.
Suggestion: Choose the equipment that can store multiple formulas and be easily adjusted to cope with different project requirements.
3. Control system
Type: touch screen, remote control or remote monitoring system.
Suggestion: Choose the control system with friendly man-machine interface, which is easy to operate and monitor the running status of the equipment.
4. Accuracy
Measuring system: Ensure accurate measurement of cement, aggregate, water and other additives.
Suggestion: Give priority to the equipment with high precision weighing system to ensure that the quality of concrete meets the standard.
5. Safety
Design: The equipment should be equipped with necessary safety guards and emergency stop devices.
Recommendation: Ensure the equipment has compliant safety certification and protection measures to safeguard the safety of operators.
III. Comprehensive Considerations
1. Price and Budget
Cost: Compare the prices of different brands and specifications of equipment, noting the technology and quality contained therein.
Suggestion: Choose the equipment with good cost performance within the budget, do not blindly pursue the low price.
2. Brand and Service
Manufacturer: Choose machines of well-known brands to ensure follow-up maintenance and service.
Suggestion: Examine the manufacturer's reputation, product evaluation and after-sales service to ensure that you can get good technical support after purchase.
3. Applicable Scenarios
Project type: Decide what type of concrete mixer to buy according to the scale and nature of the project.
Suggestion: Large infrastructure projects usually require larger, highly automated concrete mixers, while small construction projects can choose small tilting drum mixers.
Site visit
Field use effect: If possible, it is recommended to visit the use of similar equipment, to understand the performance of the actual work.
Communication: Communicate with the existing users of the equipment to obtain a true assessment and recommendations.
Summarize
Selecting a tilting drum mixer and automatic concrete mixer requires full consideration of a number of factors, including the capacity of the mixer, the power system, the degree of automation, the material and structure, etc., to ensure that you choose the right equipment for your project needs. At the same time, it is recommended to make a wise purchase decision by comparing brands, after-sales services and actual results within the budget. If necessary, consulting professionals can also help you better choose the right equipment!
