1.1. Tilting Mixer

Advantages of Tilting Concrete Mixer

1. The greater size aggregates can be effectively mixed in the tilting concrete mixers.
2. Tilting concrete mixer is used for mixing of the concrete of low workability.
3. Tilting mixers are easy to install and suitable for large-scale projects.

Disadvantages of Tilting Concrete Mixer

1. These concrete mixers are not suitable for manufacturing high-workability concrete.

1.2. Non- tilting Concrete Mixer

Advantages of Non-Tilting Concrete Mixer

1. Non-tilting type of mixtures has openings on both sides.
2. Non-tilting types of concrete mixers are suitable for small-scale construction sites.

Disadvantages of Non-Tilting Concrete Mixer

1. The non-tilting type of concrete mixtures is not suitable for large size aggregates.
2. It is very difficult to clean the non-tilting concrete mixer.

1.3. Reversing Drum Concrete Mixer

Advantages of Reversing Drum Concrete Mixer

1. Reversing drum concrete mixers are used for mixing dry concrete.
2. It consists of blades that help in the proper mixing of the concrete.

Disadvantages of Reversing Drum Concrete Mixer

1. In the reverse drum concrete mixer, the drum will rotates only in one direction.
2. The discharge of the concrete in this type of mixer is in the opposite direction.

1.4. Pan Type Concrete Mixer

Advantages of Pan Type Concrete Mixer

1. The pan-type concrete mixer has a large cylindrical pan in which a large amount of concrete can be mixed.
2. The concrete can be discharged from the bottom of the pan in the case of pan type concrete mixer.

1. Pan-type concrete mixers are expensive as compared to other types of concrete mixers.

2. Continuous Concrete Mixer

Advantages of Continuous Concrete Mixer

1. The continuous concrete mixers can produce concrete without any interpretation.
2. It can produce concrete in large quantities.

Disadvantages of Continuous Concrete Mixer

1. The continuous concrete mixers are only suitable for large-scale construction projects.
2. Continuous concrete mixers required large space for their installation.

How to Mix Concrete in a Mixer?

1. First upon calculate the quantity of water required for the total mixture.
2. Add half of the total mixture into the mixer before adding dry mix.
3. Turn on the mixer and add the dry mix into it. Allah the concrete mixer revolves for a minute and then add remaining water in it.
4. Mix the mixture for about 3 to 5 minutes until a uniform and required workable concrete is prepared.
5. If the concrete made is of lower workability then add some water to it.
6. After getting the desired concrete, discharge it and can be used in the construction.

Is a Cement Mixer Worth It?

Where Can You Use a Concrete Mixer?

1. First of all, it is important to make sure that the cement mixer is positioned on firm and level ground. This will help prevent the mixer from falling over whilst in use. It is also beneficial that your mixer is close to an uninterrupted water supply.
2. Set the mixer so the drum is at a 45 degree angle with the mouth of the drum facing upwards. You can now plug the machine in and turn it on.
3. The correct mixing ratio for concrete (cement, sand, stone and water) depends on the type of application you are using the concrete for. Harder concrete will require more cement whilst rough application concrete (such as that used in paths or areas requiring grip) you’ll need to add more aggregate.
4. Next tilt the drum slowly to load the wheelbarrow, be careful not to overfill the wheelbarrow or over tip the cement mixer.
5. Never allow your machine to run dry, dried concrete is incredibly hard and time-consuming to remove from the drum.
