How to choose a concrete mixer? How to maintain after purchase?

At present, there are two types of concrete mixers that sell well in the market, including forced type and self-falling type. The two machine models and features are different, so how to choose a concrete mixer when purchasing? KAMO MACHINERY will introduce you in detail.

1. Choose according to the size of the project and the length of the construction period

If the project volume is large and the construction period is relatively long, it is more suitable to choose a medium-sized or large fixed concrete mixer; similarly, if the project volume is small and the construction period is short, it is more suitable to choose a small and medium-sized mobile concrete mixer;

2. Choose according to the type of concrete

If the mixed concrete is plastic and semi-plastic, a self-falling concrete mixer can be used; if the mixed concrete is high-strength, dry hard concrete, a forced concrete mixer can be used;

3. Selection according to concrete properties

If the mixing consistency of the concrete is large and the aggregate particle size is large, a forced concrete mixer can be used. Compared with other types, the mixing drum of this mixer rotates faster. On the contrary, choose a self-falling concrete mixer with a larger capacity.

Now that we know how to choose a concrete mixer, let's take a look at how to maintain it after purchase?

1. Maintenance. In order to prolong the service life, it is very important to learn how to maintain it. The stirring shaft is the core of the mixer, and each shift must be filled with oil, and the degree of oil filling can be seen in the mixer only if there is leakage of the Yellow River;

2. Replace accessories in time. The parts that need to be replaced should be replaced in time, and the problems should be repaired and replaced in time;

3. Clean in time. After each use, the mixer must be cleaned in time, the stirring shaft and the residual material in the mixer must be cleaned, and the fixing of the discharge door bearing, cylinder, etc. must be checked in time.

When cleaning the concrete mixer, the following points are also crucial:

First of all, if you want to remove the concrete accumulated in the concrete mixer, you can choose to remove it with a chisel, and do not hit it with a sledgehammer;

Secondly, remember to cut off the power supply for cleaning. After the mixer stops working, pour water and stones into the mixing drum for cleaning. Clean for about 15 minutes, and then discharge the water and stones;

Finally, cleaning should be carried out regularly, regular maintenance and maintenance, such as lubrication and oiling, etc.
