Electric Concrete Mixer is a widely used equipment in construction and engineering industry, which is mainly used to mix raw materials such as cement, sand, stone and water into uniform concrete. The following is a detailed introduction about Electric Concrete Mixer, including its working principle, type, main features, application areas and maintenance.
I. Working Principle
The working principle of Electric Concrete Mixer is to utilize the rotating power of electric motor to drive the mixing blades in the mixing drum to mix the raw materials of concrete (such as cement, aggregate, sand, additives and water) evenly. The concrete steps include:
Addition of raw materials: cement, sand, stone (aggregate) and water are added into the Electric Concrete Mixer according to a certain proportion.
Mixing process: after the motor starts, it drives the mixing blades to rotate, and the raw materials collide, rub and tumble with each other in the mixing barrel, so as to make the mixture fully mixed.
Discharge: after mixing is completed, the mixed concrete can be discharged through the discharge port for subsequent use.
II. Types
Electric Concrete Mixer can be divided into the following main types:
Self-falling mixer: the concrete raw materials fall into the mixing drum by gravity, suitable for small construction sites.
Forced mixer: adopting forced mixing, it can mix concrete of various properties more effectively and is suitable for producing high-quality concrete.
Classification of mixing capacity: according to the mixing capacity, it can be divided into small (general capacity below 100 liters), medium (100 liters to 1,000 liters) and large (more than 1,000 liters) mixers.
III. Main Features
Driving method: Electric Concrete Mixer is mainly driven by electric motor, with relatively low energy consumption and stable operation.
High mixing efficiency: compared with manual mixing, Electric Concrete Mixer can realize uniform mixing in a shorter time and improve working efficiency.
Simple operation: equipped with simple operation control panel, easy for operators to use.
Adaptable: suitable for different kinds of concrete batching, including dry mix, wet mix and thick mix.
Economical investment: compared with other concrete production equipment, Electric Concrete Mixer has lower investment cost and relatively smaller operation cost.
Application Areas
Electric Concrete Mixer is mainly used in the following fields:
Construction: for concrete pouring in civil engineering projects such as residential, office buildings, factories and so on.
Highway and bridge construction: to provide mixing concrete for bridge, highway and other infrastructure construction.
Precast component factories: for producing precast concrete components such as wall panels, stairs, reinforced beams, etc.
Municipal engineering: for urban infrastructure construction, such as pavement, water pipes, sewage treatment and other projects.
V. Maintenance and upkeep
In order to ensure the normal operation and prolong the service life of the Electric Concrete Mixer, the following maintenance and repair work needs to be carried out regularly:
Regular inspection: regularly check whether the main parts such as motor, reducer, mixing blades, feeding and discharging ports are normal.
Lubrication maintenance: Regularly lubricate the moving parts to reduce wear and tear. Check the quality of lubricant and replace it in time.
Clean up the residual material: after each use or at the time of shutdown, clean up the residual concrete in and around the mixing drum to avoid its hardening and affecting the subsequent use.
Check the electrical system: Regularly check the electric components and cables to ensure that the electrical system is in good condition and prevent leakage of electricity and other potential safety hazards.
Record the working status: Keep a maintenance log to record the usage and faults for management and later maintenance.
Summarize
Electric Concrete Mixer plays an indispensable role in the construction industry with its advantages of high efficiency, stability and economy. Through reasonable selection, use and maintenance, it can ensure that it can provide high-quality concrete for the project in a long-term and stable way to meet the needs of construction.
