Working Principle of Concrete Mixer

‌‌The working principle of a concrete mixer is to drive the blades in the mixing drum to rotate through a motor, so that cement, sand and gravel aggregates and water are mixed in the mixing drum to achieve a uniform mixing effect.

The main working principle of a concrete mixer is that its design enables the motion tracks of the components of the mixture in the mixing process to intersect with each other in the relative convergence area, thereby generating mutual conflicts to the maximum extent in the entire volume of the mixture. This design aims to increase the number of times each component volume participates in the movement and the crossing frequency of the motion tracks, creating the most favorable conditions for the concrete mixture to achieve microscopic and macroscopic homogeneity. Specifically, the task of the mixer is to make the mixture produce violent activities and chaotic motion tracks, so that the particles have a large relative speed, thereby generating collisions and kneading and causing large conflict shear stress. Such a design not only helps to evenly mix the components at the microscopic and macroscopic levels, but also promotes collisions and frictions between material particles, reduces the influence of dust films, and ultimately achieves the purpose of improving the quality of concrete.
