What is a Self-Loading Concrete Mixer Truck?
A self-loading concrete mixer truck is a multi-functional construction vehicle designed to automatically load raw materials (sand, cement, aggregates, water), mix concrete on-site, transport it, and pour it directly at the construction site. Unlike traditional mixer trucks, it does not require a separate batching plant or additional equipment like loaders or excavators.
What are the parts of self loading concrete mixer?
Integrated Loading System:
Equipped with a built-in loader (e.g., a shovel, conveyor belt, or robotic arm) to scoop aggregates, sand, and cement directly from the ground or stockpiles.
Eliminates the need for external loaders or batching plants.
Onboard Batching and Mixing:
Storage compartments for raw materials (cement, aggregates, water).
Automated weighing and proportioning systems to ensure precise mix ratios.
A rotating drum mixes ingredients while in transit or on-site.
Water Supply:
Includes a water tank with a pump to add water during mixing, ensuring consistent concrete quality.
Operator Control:
Advanced control panels allow operators to manage loading, mixing, and discharging processes from the cabin.
What are the benefits of self loading concrete mixer?
① All-in-One Functionality
– No need for external equipment: Loads, mixes, transports, and pours concrete independently.
– Saves time: Eliminates waiting for concrete deliveries from plants.
② Cost Savings
– Reduces labor costs: A single operator can manage the entire process.
– Cuts fuel expenses: Avoids multiple trips to/from a batching plant.
③ Flexibility
– Works in remote areas: Perfect for projects far from urban infrastructure.
– Adjust mixes on-site: Modify concrete strength or consistency as needed.
④ Durability
– Built for tough terrains: Reinforced chassis and tires handle uneven surfaces.
– Low maintenance: Robust design reduces breakdown risks.
⑤ Environmental Benefits
– Less waste: Mix only what’s needed, minimizing excess concrete.
– Lower emissions: Fewer vehicle trips reduce carbon footprint.

1.Robot welding: Robot spot welding can weld the body structure quickly and accurately to ensure the strength and quality of the body; in the manufacture of electronic equipment, robot spot welding can accurately weld tiny solder joints to ensure reliable connection of electronic components. Moreover, robot spot welding can work 24 hours a day without interruption.
2.Electrophoretic electrostatic powder spraying: Electrophoretic spray painting can ensure that all parts of the workpiece can be coated evenly and consistently, including the paint film formed by complex shapes and inner cavities, which is very firmly bonded to the surface of the workpiece and not easy to fall off. It is suitable for large-scale industrial production and can improve production efficiency. Compared with traditional spray painting methods, it has good flatness, glossiness and density.
3. Boring machine process: The boring machine can achieve high-precision boring, drilling and other processing, ensuring the dimensional accuracy and form and position tolerance of the workpiece. It can process holes of various shapes and sizes, as well as planes, grooves, etc., and can also effectively bore deeper holes. Good stability: The machine tool structure is stable, and it can maintain good stability during the processing process, reducing the impact of vibration on the processing quality. It can complete the processing of workpieces with some complex shapes and structures.
4. AGV assembly (Automatic Guided Vehicle is an industrial vehicle that loads goods automatically or manually, drives automatically along a set route or pulls a cargo trolley to a designated location, and then loads and unloads goods automatically or manually): AGV can transport materials and parts quickly and accurately, reducing material waiting time and achieving continuous production. For example, in an automobile manufacturing plant, AGV can deliver the required parts to the assembly station in a timely manner, allowing the assembly line to run uninterruptedly, greatly improving production efficiency, while increasing assembly accuracy and ensuring the yield rate of the production line.
How To Operate The Self Loading Concrete Mixer?
Step-by-Step Guide to Operating a Self-Loading Concrete Mixer
1. Pre-Operation Checks
Inspect Fluids: Check engine oil, hydraulic fluid, coolant, and fuel levels.
Tires/Brakes: Ensure tires are inflated and brakes function properly.
Hydraulic System: Look for leaks or damage in hoses/connections.
Drum Cleanliness: Verify the drum is empty and free of hardened residue.
Safety Gear: Wear PPE (helmet, gloves, safety glasses, high-visibility vest).
2. Starting the Engine
Enter the cabin, fasten the seatbelt, and start the engine. Allow it to warm up for 2–3 minutes.
3. Loading Materials
Scoop Materials: Use the front-loader bucket to collect aggregates (sand, gravel), cement, and additives.
Transfer to Drum: Operate cabin controls (joystick/buttons) to deposit materials into the mixing drum.
Mix Proportions: Follow project-specific ratios to avoid overloading (typically 60–70% drum capacity).
4. Adding Water
Water Meter: Input the required water volume via the onboard system. Ensure precise measurement for desired consistency.
5. Mixing the Concrete
Set Timer: Activate the mixer (5–10 minutes typically). The drum rotates, blending materials. Monitor for uniform texture.
6. Transporting the Concrete
Drive carefully to the site, avoiding steep slopes or rough terrain to prevent spillage or instability.
7. Discharging the Concrete
Position Chute: Adjust the discharge chute direction. Tilt the drum slowly to pour concrete. Use a wheelbarrow or pump as needed.
8. Post-Operation Cleaning
Rinse Immediately: Use water to clean the drum, chute, and loader bucket. Remove residual concrete to prevent hardening.
9. Shutting Down
Idle Engine: Let it run for 2–3 minutes before turning off.
Secure Machine: Park on level ground, engage the parking brake, and lock controls.
10. Maintenance & Safety Tips
Daily Checks: Lubricate joints, inspect mixer blades, and check for wear.
Avoid Overloading: Adhere to drum capacity limits.
Stability: Keep the machine on stable ground during operation.
Manual Reference: Consult the manufacturer’s manual for model-specific guidelines.
Safety Reminders:
Never stand near a rotating drum.
Ensure the area is clear before discharging.
Regularly inspect hydraulic and electrical systems.
By following these steps, you ensure efficient and safe operation of the self-loading concrete mixer.
