Concrete is transported to the construction site after it is produced in a batching plant or in a self loading mixer. What if the mixer truck has a technical failure or is held up in a traffic jam?
The ordinary cement gets hard in 2-3 hours after it leaves the mixer. Once the concrete solidifies in the mixing drum, it will be difficult to get it out.
First, you need to cut a hole to let one person go inside the barrel. Then he breaks the hardened concrete into small pieces with drills little by little. This is time and effort consuming work. It may take a whole day. After the drum is cleared, you weld the metal part back to fill the hole.
So in order to prevent such problem, the mixer truck should be checked carefully to be in good condition and the transportation routes should be well planned to avoid rush hours and jamming roadways.
On the other hand, when the manufacturer designs the mixer truck, the designer should take this possibility into consideration. For example, the haomei machinery factory makes a unique design for their self loading mixer trucks. In the case of a technical failure of the reducer or hydraulic motor which keeps the drum rotating when transporting concrete, you may rotate the drum manually to discharge the concrete in 10 minutes#concretemachinery #selfloadingconcretemixer #CivilEngineering #mixertruck #constructionequipment #constructionequipmentcompany #concretemixer #concretemixertruck #selfloadingmixer .
