The main aim of a self-loading concrete mixer is to complete the process of mixing all materials and transport it to a construction site. It also has a unique feature where the mixing drum continues to mix it to prevent it from freezing. The main feature of such a concrete mixer being that it is compact and highly efficient. Besides which it is also cost effective and a big time saver. It is essentially a single unit that can handle multiple tasks like weighing, stirring, feeding, discharging and transporting.
A concrete-mixer is essentially a machine that combines sand, gravel and water to produce concrete (or cement). This will usually involve a revolving drum and all portable ones allow construction workers to do this at a construction site itself. A self loading mixer is also a concrete-mixer, however it is also a concrete truck.
Thus, this type of truck can not only mix the concrete material, but it can also transport it. Here are some of the main features of such construction machines:
A concrete-mixer uses several raw materials like sand, gravel and water to form concrete. This is a small portable unit and the process is usually done at a construction site.
A concrete batching plant is typically a big setup. It combines raw material like water, air, sand, fly ash, slag, rock, gravel and produces concrete. Such a machine will generally discharge all load into trucks. It is likely to be a stationary plant, although it can portable and semi-portable.
A ready mix concrete plant that combines water, gravel, sand, stones to create a ready mix. The advantage of using this is that it is specially treated with retarders to slow any hydration process. Hence the ready mix is transportable to longer distances.
An earth moving equipment like a bulldozer has the main function of pushing large quantity of soil, sand, rubble and other type of material.
A self loading concrete mixer is unique in many ways. It is a concrete mixer that makes use of raw material like cement, stone aggregates, etc. to create concrete. It is also a transporter and thus transport the cement where the requirement is. Hence one can essentially batch, mix and transport concrete with this machine. On the other hand, most other construction machines have the basic design to handle just one task.
