Self-loading mixer is a kind of equipment commonly used for concrete mixing, and its operating principle mainly includes the following steps:
Loading stage: First, the material (cement, aggregate, water, etc.) is fed into the mixer's hopper by lifting equipment or manual loading.
Mixing Stage: Once a certain hopper capacity is reached, the self-loading mixer starts working. The main shaft of the mixer drives the mixing blades to rotate at high speed to fully mix various raw materials. During the mixing process, water, admixture, etc. can be gradually added as needed to ensure the quality of the mixture.
Blanking stage: After the mixing is completed, the mixed concrete is discharged from the mixer through the discharge port at the lower part of the mixer. Normally, the self-loading mixer is equipped with a discharging mechanism, which can convey the concrete to the destination, such as a transport vehicle or concrete pump, etc.
Repeat: The above steps are repeated in a cycle until the amount of concrete required for the project is reached or the time required for continuous mixing.
Overall, self-loading mixers achieve efficient concrete production by feeding raw materials into the mixer, mixing and discharging concrete.
