Not a single construction site can do without concrete, and delivery should take a minimum of time so that the quality of the mixture remains on top
People are called concrete mixers. Experts, in turn, use the abbreviation of ABS, as well as professional jargonism “Mixer”. The essence of this, in fact, does not change: we are talking about a car that looks like a giant snail; And it is needed to mix and transport concrete.
The concrete mixers are used at construction sites, at enterprises for the manufacture of cement and foundation blocks – in a word, wherever concrete is needed. Today we will talk about the main types of ABS, their device, as well as about mixing mixture technologies.
Types of auto concrete mixers
Strictly speaking, ABS is only one of the subtypes of auto-mixers that are portable and mobile (concrete mixers-prints). Professional construction classification of “mixers” is as follows:
By the type of engines of the ABS mixing equipment, they are divided into cars with autonomous engines (they continue to mix concrete even in case of breakdown) and into cars equipped with engines on the chassis (they are more environmentally friendly and do not make much noise)
According to the characteristics of the drive (mixing equipment), the auto -concrete mixers are mechanical (outdated version, is not used in modern production) and hydraulic
The following types of ABS are distinguished by type of installation for mixing concrete: with unloading back (popular in the post -Soviet space), with unloading forward (the driver can control the process of unloading concrete without leaving the cabin)
ABS device and mixing technology
According to GOST standards, when transporting concrete mixtures, it is unacceptable that moisture in the form of atmospheric rainfalls get into the reinforced mixer. In addition, the mixture should remain homogeneous, so the task of the transporter is to ensure continuous operation of ABS, as well as protecting the composition from direct sunlight and wind.
The key element of any car concrete mixer is a drum that, rotating, retains homogeneity and other technical characteristics of the mixture. Thanks to the metal knives that are inside the drum, large fractions of solid substances are destroyed, and the delivery of ready -made concrete is not difficult
Sometimes a concrete mixture is prepared on the road to the construction site. It is worth noting that the quality of such a solution is in no way inferior to the quality of the mixture prepared in the factory.
