The construction industry has a new trend which slowly becomes a widely preferred solution, it is the self loading concrete mixer. The self loading concrete mixer is ideal and is meant for producing concrete on sites where prepared mixture of concrete is not always available, and where smaller amounts of concrete are needed. Usually, they are very compact and are used on remote and small job-sites, delivering up to 16m³/h of concrete. Today, many popular manufacturers include the self loading concrete mixer in their ranges of products.
The self loading concrete mixers are used for a variety of applications, such as scooping, loading, mixing, transporting and placing concrete. This means that these machines can be included in road making, setting foundations, lining canals and tunnels, building construction and lots of others. They can also be used for mining applications. The best thing you will like about them is they are operated by only one person, which prevents the need for extra labor and saves money on that way.
The self loading concrete mixer ranges in size, from 1m³ up to 4m³. Also, its capacity varies from model to model, as operators need it for different purposes. The good mixing process is due to its specifically designed drum and blades, that provide a quality mix of concrete, without huge labor forces on the site. The advantage that many love is that these mixers cut the operating and owning costs significantly, as it does not require transporting prepared mixture of concrete and have its own water tanks for constant supply.
The self loading concrete mixer is very productive and reliable machine, but it is still very simple and easy to use. In the construction industry, it is most suitable for contractors who look for mechanized concrete production at minimal costs. Speaking of costs, this mixer significantly reduces the costs from many aspects. First, only one operator operates the self loading concrete mixer. Lots of money are saved as it works on the site, minimizing the transportation and fuel costs. The on-site working also reduces the use of other expensive machinery, including concrete pumps, cranes, dump trucks and others. Also, most self loading concrete mixers are designed with improved ergonomics of the driving seat and are equipped with various modern safety devices and features.
