The role of transit mixers in the building industry is huge. A transit mixer is a multipurpose vehicle and used for the transportation of concrete mortar from a concrete batching plant to its destination location. The concrete mortar consists of dry raw materials and water that is loaded into the transit mixers.
The multipurpose transit mixer consists of a drum with a spiral blade and can rotate in both directions. The main purpose behind the presence of the drum is to ensure that the concrete continues to remain in a liquid state. While it retains the liquid state it also rotates on its own axis. This kind of transit mixer has multiple purposes and primarily helps deliver ready mix concrete to several locations.
This ready mix concrete is delivered to various locations along with the other construction materials that are used in the construction industry. The main advantage of the transit mixer is the transportation of ready mix concrete to even remote locations.
Below mentioned are the various roles of transit mixers in the building industry.
Transit mixers are also commonly known as truck-mounted mixers. Due to their multipurpose functionalities, they have become very popular, thus replacing dumpers and agitator cars that were used in the past. Transit mixers having a capacity of 4 to 12 tons mounted on truck chassis to carry the concrete mix. Some transit mixers have a long mixing duration which is dependent on the extent of dryness in the mix.
Mixing concrete is a time-consuming process, hence the use of ready mix concrete from SD Conmix is very popular. SD Conmix’s ready mix concrete reduces manual effort thus saving time and money. Our professional work process using technologically advanced tools and materials produces the best quality ready mix concrete for our clients on site.
The chief function of the transit mixer is to ensure that the mix remains in an agitated state till it reaches the construction site. The transit mixers have become more efficient with the introduction and development of the twin fin process mixer. In addition to the outer spirals, these mixers have two opposed inner spirals. There is a repeated counter-current mixing process that takes place within the mixer drum. The several special nozzles present on the lower side of the inner mixing spirals accurately and uniformly spray water on the mix under pressure throughout the entire length of the drum. The outcome of this is the thorough mixing of the entire content of the drum that is carried out within a short time. The process results in the production of high-quality structural concrete in the transit mixer making it possible at a much faster rate thus saving time.
SD Conmix supplies the best quality ready mix concrete through its transit mixers while the mixing continues during transportation.
