Mixing Process of Concrete Trucks

Cement trucks have a large drum on the back that carries the concrete. Workers pour a mixture of cement, sand or gravel, and water into this drum through a chute before the truck leaves. The drum, which has blades inside, then begins slowly revolving as the cement is transported from one location to another. This constant motion mixes the contents inside to create concrete and also keeps the mixture from hardening. Once the truck arrives at its destination, the motion of the drum is reversed to push the cement mix forward and out the chute so it can be poured.

Considerations of Concrete Trucks

An alternative method for transporting concrete is to fill these trucks with a premade concrete mixture. In this case, the truck will still operate in the same manner. However, instead of mixing the ingredients, the revolving motion of the drum keeps the premixed concrete from setting. If the drum of the cement truck ceases to rotate, the cement inside will set. If that happens, workers must use jackhammers to remove the concrete from the truck. Workers must also wash the inside of the cement mixer frequently to prevent concrete buildup.

Detailed Product Description of Concrete Trucks:
