As an indispensable and important equipment in the modern construction industry, concrete self loading mixer trucks have a variety of internal mixer types, among which drum mixer, vertical shaft disc mixer are common types. They have significant differences in structure, working principle, mixing effect, and applicable scenarios.
Firstly, the drum mixer is a more traditional mixing form in concrete self loading mixer trucks. Its main structure is a rotating drum, in which concrete is mixed through continuous rolling and collision. The drum mixer has the characteristics of simple structure and easy maintenance, and is suitable for small construction sites or situations with small mixing volume. However, due to the limitations of its mixing principle, drum mixers may have slight deficiencies in mixing efficiency, uniformity, and concrete quality.
Secondly, the vertical shaft pan mixer is a new type of mixing form that has developed in recent years. It uses a vertical axis driven mixing plate for mixing, and the concrete is mixed under the rotation of the mixing plate. The vertical shaft disc mixer has high mixing efficiency and uniformity, and less damage to concrete, which is conducive to ensuring the quality of concrete. In addition, the vertical shaft disc mixer also has the advantages of low noise and low energy consumption, making it suitable for construction sites with high requirements for mixing quality and environmental protection.
In summary, drum mixers and vertical shaft pan mixers each have their own characteristics and applicable scenarios. When selecting the type of mixer for concrete self loading mixer trucks, comprehensive consideration should be given to factors such as actual construction needs, mixing quality requirements, and cost budget. Choosing and using the right type of mixer will help improve construction efficiency, ensure concrete quality, and reduce construction costs.
