Concrete Mixer Truck

CONCRETE MIXER TRUCK — SPECIFICATION & TECHNICALITY

Product Overview

A Concrete Mixer Truck, also known as a Transit Mixer, is a heavy-duty truck-mounted concrete mixing and transportation unit designed to transport ready-mixed concrete from a batching plant to a construction site while continuously agitating the concrete to maintain uniform consistency and reduce segregation.

The system combines a heavy-duty truck chassis with a hydraulically driven rotating mixing drum, charging hopper, discharge chute, water-supply system and control mechanism. Commercial mixer trucks commonly range from about 6–12 m³, with larger configurations also available.

These are typical/reference specifications, not the exact specifications of a particular Driscoil unit. Manufacturer data varies considerably by drum size and truck chassis. For example, SANY lists models from 6–12 m³ with different water-tank capacities, while Kyokuto lists mixer drums from 6.6–12.2 m³.

Major Components

1. Mixing Drum – Rotating vessel containing the concrete.
2. Mixing Blades – Internal spiral blades continuously mix and agitate the concrete.
3. Charging Hopper – Receives concrete from the batching plant.
4. Hydraulic Drive System – Provides torque for drum rotation.
5. Hydraulic Pump & Motor – Drive and control drum rotation.
6. Reduction Gearbox – Transfers torque to the drum.
7. Water Tank – Supplies water for controlled operations and cleaning.
8. Discharge Chute – Directs concrete into the required location.
9. Chute Extensions – Increase discharge reach.
10. Truck Chassis – Provides mobility and structural support.
11. Control System – Controls drum rotation and discharge direction/speed.
12. Ladder & Access Platform – Provides safe access for inspection and cleaning.
