Experts in Concrete Mixing & Delivery in Pittsburgh, PA

The Mobile Concrete Mixer is a combination materials transporter and mobile concrete mixing plant, mounted on a transport vehicle, usually a truck or trailer, which carries sufficient unmixed material, sand, cement, coarse aggregates, water (and any other chemicals that may be used for special mix designs) to the job to produce fresh concrete, mixed to design specifications.

Sand and stone are accurately proportioned by adjusting gates to the correct height. The settings are based on the actual calibration of the gate settings done with the specific aggregates.

The three basic dry ingredients (sand, stone, and cement powder) simultaneously drop off the main conveyor into the charging end of the mixer at the rear of the unit. At this point, a predetermined metered flow of water enters the mixer. Action of the combined auger and paddle mixer rapidly, thoroughly, and continuously mixes the ingredients and water to produce a continuous discharge of uniform quality concrete.

The materials blending action is continuous and may proceed until the ingredient bins are empty. On the other hand, mixing and delivery may be stopped at any time and then started again at the operator's will. This permits production to balance the demands of the placing and finishing crews and other job requirements.
