Self-loading mixer truck maintenance and upkeep

The self-loading concrete mixer is suitable for all projects that require concrete. It is a two-in-one mixer truck and a loading truck. It can realize automatic water loading, automatic mixing, automatic unloading, and vehicle-mounted transportation. It plays a very important role in urban and rural construction, concrete pavement maintenance, bridges and tunnels, township-level highways, infrastructure, national defense facilities, and high-speed railway construction. The life of a self-loading concrete mixer is closely related to daily maintenance. So what are the maintenance tips for automatic loading mixer trucks?

1. Daily maintenance

1. Before loading the automatic loading mixer truck, flush the feed port with water to keep the feed port moist during loading;

2. While loading, fill the cleaning water tank that comes with the vehicle with water;

3. After loading, rinse the feed port and clean the remaining concrete near the feed port to prevent the concrete from condensing into blocks, which will cause certain corrosion to the steel part and paint of the automatic loading mixer truck;

4. The mixer truck must drain the sewage in the concrete storage tank before the next loading;

5. After unloading materials at the construction site, rinse the discharge trough, and then add 30-40L of cleaning water to the concrete storage tank; keep the concrete storage tank rotating forward and slowly when the vehicle returns;

6. Thoroughly clean the concrete storage tank of the mixer truck and around the inlet and outlet at the end of each day to ensure that there is no cement or concrete agglomeration.

The daily use and maintenance of the automatic feeding mixer truck is really important. It seems to be a very simple task, but many people think it is not necessary to do it. However, problems often occur due to accumulated carelessness in maintenance. Automatic feeding The mixer truck must not only maintain the entire vehicle, but also inspect its spare parts regularly.

2. Maintenance

1. Hydraulic drive system: The hydraulic system is the core system of the mixer truck. In order to ensure that the mixer truck can operate normally and the mixing tank can operate normally, the hydraulic oil level of the oil circuit radiator and reducer must be checked before each vehicle is started to ensure that the oil level indication is within the viewing window. At the same time, ensure its cleanliness to prevent dust particles and moisture from contaminating the system hydraulic oil, causing the system to not work properly or be damaged.

2. Water supply system: The amount of water added in the pneumatic water supply system is generally three-quarters of the water tank; all valves in the water system should be closed when the vehicle is driving, so as not to affect the vehicle's braking performance or sinter the friction plates. Thereby affecting the braking performance of the vehicle. It is forbidden to weld or modify the water tank at will, and avoid heavy objects hitting it; check the valve body frequently to see if it is blocked or working abnormally; when used in an environment with possible freezing, the water supply system must drain the water to prevent the pipeline from freezing and cracking; frequently Check the tightness of the system. After disassembly and repair, apply thread sealant to key parts.

3. Mixing drum: After the first 50 hours of use, check whether the bolts in the tank and other parts are loose. Check the lubrication of the supporting wheel and raceway every day before driving. Open the supporting wheel guard once a month, clean the oil inside and add Lubricating grease.
