In modern construction, concrete mixing is a critical task. The quality of concrete directly impacts the strength and durability of a structure. This is why choosing the right type of concrete mixer is essential.
Different projects demand different types of mixers, depending on the volume of work, site conditions, and the complexity of the mix.
Let’s explore the types of concrete mixers used today and understand their working principles, applications, and benefits.
A concrete mixer, also known as a cement mixer, is a device that combines cement, aggregates (such as sand or gravel), and water to form concrete. The machine mixes the components uniformly to ensure consistent quality in every batch. These mixers are essential on both small and large construction sites, enabling quick and efficient production of fresh concrete.
Selecting the correct type of mixer ensures:
Drum mixers are among the most common types. The mixing process happens inside a rotating drum, which helps in combining materials effectively.
Working Principle: The drum tilts for both mixing and discharge. The ingredients are loaded into the drum, which rotates to mix, and then the drum tilts to pour the mixture.
Applications: Ideal for small-scale site work like house construction or repair jobs. It is highly mobile and easy to operate.
Working Principle: The drum remains in a fixed position while blades inside rotate in different directions for mixing and discharging.
Applications: Suitable for medium-sized projects. These mixers offer better mixing efficiency compared to tilting types.
Turbo PAN Mixer also called a Vertical Shaft Mixer, the Turbo PAN Mixer is designed with a vertical shaft and spider-leg arms that rotate inside a pan.
Working Principle: The vertical motion and high-speed blades create a turbulent mixing action.
Applications:
Advantages
This mixer mimics the “sun and planet” motion, where one set of paddles rotates around a central axis while also rotating on their own axis.
Working Principle: Multi-directional mixing ensures complete blending of all components, especially useful for complex and colored mixes.
Applications:
Advantages
This mixer uses two counter-rotating horizontal shafts with blades or paddles that mix the materials aggressively.
Working Principle: The blades shear and blend the material continuously, ensuring quick and uniform mixing.
