Working Principle of Self-Loading Concrete Mixer Truck

The self-loading concrete mixer truck is a type of specialized concrete transport vehicle. It is modified based on a truck chassis and integrates material loading, mixing, transportation, and discharging into one. This vehicle can automatically load raw materials (cement, sand, stone, water, etc.) and mix them into concrete, maintaining uniformity and stability of quality throughout the transport process. Compared to traditional concrete transport trucks, self-loading mixer trucks have advantages such as higher load capacity, improved efficiency, and better stability.

Typically, only two workers are needed to operate the vehicle: one in the cab to control the system and another to assist with material placement. Once the mixing is completed, the truck can drive directly to the construction site. Its discharge chute supports 270-degree rotation for flexible unloading, which significantly reduces labor costs due to its high level of automation.

Working Principle of Self-Loading Concrete Mixer Truck

The working principle of the self-loading mixer truck is to load raw materials into the mixing drum through the loading hopper. The mixing drum continuously rotates during transportation, ensuring that the concrete materials are evenly mixed. The hydraulic transmission system controls the lifting of the loading hopper and the rotation speed of the drum to maintain concrete uniformity and ensure consistent quality.

Product Advantages

1. Efficiency: The self-loading mixer can complete the entire concrete production process in one go — loading, mixing, and discharging — reducing intermediate steps and improving production efficiency.

2. Flexibility: The mixer truck operates well within limited construction spaces. With its separated cab and rotating drum, it can rotate 360° to better adapt to on-site needs, allowing for easy maneuvering in tight areas.

3. Labor Saving: Unlike traditional concrete trucks, the self-loading mixer does not require additional equipment like concrete pumps. One driver can handle the whole process, significantly reducing labor costs.

4. Improved Concrete Quality: Thanks to the design of the mixing drum, the mixing process is even, resulting in stable and reliable concrete quality.

Maintenance and Care for Self-Loading Concrete Mixer Trucks

Proper maintenance is crucial to ensure the vehicle's longevity and safe operation. Key practices include:

• Regular inspection of the hydraulic system, electrical system, tires, and braking system to identify and resolve issues promptly;

• Routine replacement of consumables such as engine oil, oil filters, and air filters;

• Keeping the vehicle clean to prevent dust buildup and corrosion;

• Adhering to safe driving practices, traffic regulations, and avoiding overloading or speeding.
