On Site and Portable Concrete Mixers

This portable concrete/mortar mixer is equipped with wheels and traction tongue, so it can be pulled by motor vehicles and moved around the construction site by hand, and its rotation is powered by mains power. Xxx Allow concrete/mortar to be dumped into the wheelbarrow. An outdated model of a small concrete mixer. These old mixers are too heavy to move easily. They are still self powered by electric motors.

For smaller jobs, such as home repairs, renovations, or amateur scale projects, many cubic yards of concrete are usually not required. Bagged cement can be easily obtained in small batches, and a small amount of aggregate and water can be easily obtained in small workplaces. In order to serve this small batch concrete market, many types of small portable concrete mixers can be used.

A typical portable concrete mixer uses a small rotating drum to mix components. For smaller work, the concrete produced at the construction site will not waste time during transportation, which allows workers enough time to use them before the concrete hardens.

Portable concrete mixers may be powered by petrol engines, but more commonly they are powered by electric motors using standard power supplies.

These concrete mixers are further classified according to their loading mechanism. Cement, sand and other aggregates are loaded into hydraulically operated hoppers and then poured into mixing drums for final mixing. They can be unloaded by tilting the drum. In the manual concrete mixer, cement, sand and other aggregates are directly manually added into the mixing bucket. These two types of concrete mixers are very popular in construction activities in Africa, some Middle East countries and the Indian subcontinent.
