What is Integrated Self-loading Concrete Mixer

When many people hear this name for the first time, they will think that it is just an upgrade of an ordinary mixer, but in fact it is not. Its core advantage is “integration”, integrating the functions of loader, mixer, transport truck and unloading device into one device. Driven by powerful engine and torque converter, it can independently complete the whole process of concrete production without any external auxiliary equipment.

Simply put, its workflow is very clear: first, it automatically shovels up sand, gravel, cement and other raw materials through the self-convelled hydraulic control bucket (forward and back-out design). At the same time as shoveling, the pressure sensor of the main cylinder will complete the real-time dynamic weighing of each shovel. After the raw material enters the mixing cylinder, it will be mixed evenly and after the mixing is completed, the equipment relies on the hydraulic steering drive bridge to drive concrete directly transport the concrete to the pouring site. Finally, through the stirring that can be rotated 270°and has the function of swinging cylinder completes multi-angle unloading.

Core Components: Each Design Meets the Construction Needs

The core component system and key components of this equipment are based on the actual operation scenarios and working conditions of the construction site for targeted research and development design, and it deeply meets the core demands of various actual use scenarios of various construction sites such as open-air construction, site operation and continuous operation.

  • High-efficiency mixing system

    The mixing cylinder has a geometric volume of 5.0m³. It adopts advanced double-heral line stirring logic inside, and cooperates with the flow guide screw to force the flow of the material to change. This design follows the mechanical principle of "left-handed feeding and right-handed feeding", so that the material forms a strong convection in the cylinder and the stirring is more uniform.

  • Accurate weighing and water feed

    Rely on the oil pressure sensor of the main cylinder of the bucket to realize electronic weighing. The operator monitors weight of each shovel through the industrial-grade touch screen in the cab. With ordinary water pumps and zero-clearing digital water meters, the ratio is more accurate than that of ordinary equipment on the market.

  • Flexible unloading system

    Mixing cylinder can not only rotate 270 degrees, but also has a unique tank swing and "backwarping" function. The operator can operate through the hydraulic control single handle in the cab, which not only saves time but also ensures safety.

  • Chassis system

    Adopts profile seamless steel pipe integrated frame, which is extremely resistant to torsion. With 16/70-20 steel wire tires, it gives the equipment the stability of driving on muddy construction sites.

ROI Analysis: The Deep Game of Leasing and Owning

In actual engineering, there is no absolute right or wrong to choose “leased equipment” or “own equipment”. The key is which model is more suitable for your current business scale and capital efficiency. We will disassemble the costs and benefits for your reference:

 

Mode A: Rental equipment (with emphasis on flexibility)

Applicable scenarios: short-term temporary reinforcement, extremely small single usage, or funds are more inclined to flow to other high-turnal links.

 

Advantages: The initial cash flow pressure is low, there is no need to be responsible for long-term maintenance and storage, and the project will be settled at the end.

 

Cost: The long-term operating cost is relatively high. External procurement of ready-mixed concrete (commercial mix) usually requires a freight premium of about 15-40 yuan per square (depending on the transportation distance). At the same time, you need to coordinate additional loader workers and auxiliary workers, and the management radius is large.

 


 

Model B: Own EP4.0 equipment (with long-term profit)

Applicable scenarios: the project cycle is more than 1 year, there is a continuous project start, or the remote location makes it difficult for commercial transportation.

 

Economic account reference:

Cost hedging: The investment in the purchase of a piece of equipment can be hedged in about 1-2 years through freight difference and labor savings (depending on the construction intensity and frequency of use).

 

Take the 5000-square-meter concrete project as an example, according to the estimated transportation cost of about 20-30 yuan per square, on-site production can save about 100,000-150,000 yuan in freight compared with foreign buyers (depending on the transportation distance and raw material supply mode)

 

In terms of labor, one-person operation mode can be used in most working conditions. By reducing 2 fixed-post operators, the monthly salary per person is 6,000-8,000 yuan, which can save about 200,000-300,000 yuan in management expenses in 1.5 years.

 

[Note: The above calculation is mainly based on freight difference and labor optimization, and does not fully include equipment energy consumption, consumable parts replacement and daily maintenance costs. The actual income needs to be comprehensively evaluated in combination with specific construction conditions.]

 

Asset residual value: After the end of the project, the self-owned equipment usually retains about 40%-60% of the residual value (depending on the use and maintenance situation). The specific realization capacity also depends on the market demand for second-hand equipment and the universality of equipment. This part belongs to the precipitation of fixed assets, which can continue to dilute unilateral costs in subsequent projects.

 

Advantages: The construction rhythm is completely autonomous, rejects “stoppage and waiting for materials”, and the concrete marking is more stable under the monitoring of the digital system.

Maintenance Tips: Make the Equipment Last Longer

After many construction teams buy equipment, due to inadequate maintenance, equipment failures occur frequently, which affects the construction progress and increases maintenance costs. In fact, the maintenance of this device is not difficult. As long as you develop good habits, you can effectively extend the service life.

  • Clean it regularly

    After each use, be sure to clean up the concrete residue in the mixing cylinder. It is difficult to clean up concrete after solidification, which not only affects the uniformity of the next stirring, but also wears out the mixing blades and cylinder walls, increasing maintenance costs. When cleaning, you can add an appropriate amount of water to the cylinder, turn the mixing cylinder, and rinse the residue.

  • Regular lubrication

    The moving parts of the equipment, such as hydraulic rods, tug wheels, gears, etc., should be regularly checked for engine oil and hydraulic oil to reduce the wear between the parts and avoid problems such as jamming and abnormal noise. It is recommended to check the hydraulic filter element once every 500 hours of operation to prevent impurities from damaging the precision pump valve and ensure the smoothness of walking and stirring.

  • Do a good daily inspection

    Before each start, check whether the loading bucket is deformed or worn, whether the mixing cylinder is loose, whether the hydraulic system is leaking oil, and the tire pressure is normal. If you find a problem, deal with it in time. Don't wait until a small failure becomes a big problem, causing the equipment to be unable to use it normally and delay the construction period.

  • Monthly Inspection

    The sensor of the symmetrical heavy system conducts a static review every month to ensure the accuracy of the weight data displayed on the screen, which is the first line of defense to ensure the quality of construction. Follow the manufacturer's operation and maintenance guidelines, and do not operate illegally because it will not only damage the equipment, but also may cause safety accidents.

  • Digital quality assurance

    "Double helix + diversion" technology cooperates with digital weighing to ensure that the output concrete marks are consistent, which can reduce the rework caused by quality problems from the source.

  • Efficient turnover rhythm

    Loading, stirring, transportation and unloading are integrated. The actual cycle of a single batch is ≤15 minutes, and the output per hour can reach 16 square meters. With the driving speed of 20-50 km/h, the single operation cycles is greatly shortened.

  • Strong scene adaptability

    Adopting the rear wheel steering design, the body is compact, and it can also turn flexibly in a 3-meter-wide alley. With the high and low speed stirring logic, it can effectively prevent concrete separation during driving.

  • Perfect safety and durability

    The whole vehicle adopts the whole vehicle waterproof harness. The cab is equipped with air conditioning, broken window hammer, fire extinguisher, seat belt and reversing image as standard. It not only ensures the comfort of the operator (adjustable seat), but also meets strict safety standards.
