Core Functions
Transporting Concrete: Safely and efficiently deliver ready-mix concrete from the batching plant to the construction site.
Continuous Mixing: Keep concrete uniform during transport by rotating the mixing drum (typically at 2–10 rpm), preventing segregation, bleeding, or initial setting.
Discharging Operation: Upon arrival at the site, reverse the rotation of the mixing drum to quickly and thoroughly discharge the concrete.
Auxiliary and Support Functions
Cleaning System: After transport, wash the inside of the mixing drum with water to prevent residual concrete from hardening, which could affect capacity and future use.
Adaptation to Various Transport Methods
Wet Mix: Transport pre-mixed concrete, suitable for short distances (generally ≤1.5 hours).
Dry/Semi-Dry Mix: Transport dry or partially watered materials and complete the final mixing en route or on-site, suitable for long-distance transport.
Online Quality Monitoring (in some newer models): For example, the patented system applied by Hubei Sitong Special Vehicle Co., Ltd., can monitor the fluidity of concrete to ensure construction quality. ...
