Vertical Shafts Concrete Mixer FAQs

• Are concrete mixers and cement mixers the same equipment?

  Yes, they are different terms for the same piece of equipment. In daily construction, concrete mixers are often referred to as cement mixers. Their core function is to blend aggregates, cement and water into concrete mixture, with no essential difference between them.

• Can portable concrete mixers be used for large-scale commercial projects?

  Not recommended. Portable mixers feature small mixing capacity and low efficiency, only meeting the demand for small-batch concrete. Using portable mixers will severely delay the construction progress. Continuous mixers or concrete batching plants should be adopted instead.

• What is the maximum holding time of concrete in a mixer drum?

  It should not exceed 90 minutes at most, and the optimal pouring time is within 60 minutes after water is added for mixing. Concrete begins to initially set once water is added. If the time exceeds 90 minutes, its workability and strength will drop drastically, leading to potential quality issues after pouring.

• Do all concrete mixers come with a water tank?

  Not all of them. Small portable mixers are generally not equipped with an independent water tank, and water needs to be measured and added manually in advance. Modern mobile concrete mixers are basically fitted with an independent water tank, which allows water addition during transportation to extend the initial setting time of concrete.

• What are the key tasks for the daily maintenance of concrete mixers?

  Inspect and replace wear parts. Check mixing/screw blade wear and replace damaged ones timely. Lubricate transmission components regularly and clear drum residual concrete to avoid hardening/caking.
