What is A Self-Loading Concrete Mixer?
The self-loading concrete mixer is a type of vehicle that integrates a small mobile concrete batching plant onto a thickened four-wheel drive chassis. And it is specifically used for the production of concrete mixing and transportation vehicles. During the construction process, it can independently load concrete materials and pour them into the mixing drum to automatically complete the mixing. It can achieve an independent small-scale concrete production line without the need for additional manual labor or other equipment assistance.
From small-scale civil construction projects to large-scale infrastructure, the modular design of the self loading cement mixer is equipped with different capacity mixing drum configurations. The diverse driving methods can meet the demands of various construction roads. We can provide customized solutions for different types of clients.
Types of Self-Loading Concrete Mixer
EPDAS self-loading concrete mixers have two design structures: one is integrated and the other is articulated. The integrated type body has high stability. The articulated type is hinged front and rear, providing flexible steering. The two designs each have their own characteristics and complement each other’s advantages. It can be fully adapted to various complex working conditions.
Integrated Self-Loading Concrete Mixer
The integrated self-loading concrete mixer’s chassis serves as a carrier. The main frame adopts an integrally formed steel structure, which is continuously arranged along the length of the vehicle without any split connection points. The front and rear of the vehicle cannot be separated for steering, and all functions are integrated into a single chassis.
The vehicle body has high strength, stable center of gravity and smoother operation. It is suitable for engineering projects with good construction environments that require continuous stirring for a long time.
Articulated Self-Loading Concrete Mixer
The articulated models connect the front and rear bodies through a central articulation plate, which can flexible steering at the front and rear of the vehicle. It can freely move through narrower spaces. Suitable for working conditions that require frequent steering and flexible movement on site.
The articulated self-loading concrete mixer of EPDAS is divided into two structures according to the different steering mechanisms. The first type adopts a full-steering design, enabling synchronized turning of the mixing drum and cab. This provides superior coordination and maneuverability in complex terrain. The second type adopts a semi-steering design, with only the mixing drum having a steering function, while the cab still fixed. This structure is more suitable for operation scenarios that require higher stability.
Self-Loading Concrete Mixer Solutions for Key Construction
The self-loading mixer truck, with its advantages of flexibility, high efficiency and labor saving, as well as adaptability to complex terrains, has been widely applied in various construction fields. Here, we present three key areas: infrastructure construction, concrete road construction and civil building construction. Learn how our innovative mixing solutions can support your next project.
Infrastructure Construction
Self-loading concrete mixers can coordinate with other equipment during urban tunnel, bridge, and drainage construction projects. They ensure a continuous supply of concrete, thereby enhancing construction efficiency.
Road Construction
self-loading concrete mixer can be used in road construction for repair, pouring and other operations while in operation, saving construction time and costs.
Civil Construction
The self-loading concrete mixer can be operated by one person in the construction of civil houses, making the construction cost lower.
Main Systems Of Self-Loading Concrete Mixers
Loading System
The bucket’s curved design enables direct loading of raw materials such as sand, gravel, and cement, ensuring smooth loading.
Weighing System
Equipped with an intelligent weighing device that measures the weight of concrete raw materials in real time, with aggregate error within 1%.
Mixing System
Professional customized tank bodies and wear-resistant blade configurations ensure thorough and uniform mixing, thereby obtaining high-quality concrete.
Discharging System
It has a wide unloading range and can rotate 270 degrees to discharge materials, making it convenient to pour concrete into narrow positions and avoiding material waste.
How to Operate A Self-Loading Concrete Mixer?
The working principle of a self-loading concrete mixer comprises four core processes: loading, mixing, transport drive, and flexible unloading. Below are some detailed operational steps:
Automatic Loading
The operator controls the front bucket from the cab to perform lifting, dumping, and grabbing actions, loading concrete materials into the mixing drum.
High-efficiency Mixing
The concrete materials are stirred in one direction along with the mixing drum, and it is equipped with an intelligent control panel that can adjust the mixing speed.
Flexible Transportation
The thickened off-road tires can be directly transported to the construction site during the mixing process. Achieving simultaneous transportation and mixing.
Precise Unloading
The mixing drum can be tilted and rotated 270 degrees, allowing for flexible adjustment of the unloading direction and precise pouring.
