The JZC500 concrete mixer is a self-falling mixer and one of the most popular types among various concrete mixer machines. During the mixing process, the drum turns in a clockwise direction, while the discharge occurs in a counterclockwise direction. Its self-falling feature allows the coarse aggregate to fall effortlessly from the mixer wall and yield a homogeneous concrete mix. The JZC500 concrete mixer also has movable parts, such as a hopper, that allow it to move vertically and gather material for mixing. Because of its ability to gather and mix materials without the need for a stationary setup, the JZC self-loading concrete mixer is applicable in various construction tasks, like the construction of rural roads, water conservation, ports, bridges, and other infrastructure projects.
The drum-type concrete mixer consists of a drum-shaped mixing container and a motor for power. The motor spins the drum around its axis for mixing and discharging. The fixing of the drum on an inclined frame allows the process of loading and unloading the ingredients for mixing to be easier. The motor power can be either manual (fuel-based) or electric, which can be from a portable generator or the local grid. The drum-type concrete mixer can be divided into two main categories based on the mixing action:
The pump trailer concrete mixer is used for the efficient and smooth movement of concrete from the mixer to the required site. The use of a trailer helps to broadly use the concrete mixer in any construction site from any supplier. The order of the production process is the following: concrete is prepared by the supplier in a concrete plant, which may use either a central-mix or transit-mix facility. Once the concrete is ready, it is placed into the mixing trailer, which has a mobile mixer inside it, to keep the concrete fresh while transporting it to the desired location. When the trailer arrives at the construction site, the mixer inside is turned on to prepare the concrete for any needed specification in the construction task.
Product specifications
The drum rotates in a clockwise direction for mixing and reverse in an anticlockwise direction for discharging. The drum capacity is usually around 0.5 cubic meters, and the power can be from 15 kw to 18.5 kw.
Product maintenance
Some maintenance JZC500 self concrete mixers tips are as follows:
-Regular inspection: Check for signs of damage, wear, and fatigue. Look for any loose or broken parts, especially the mixing blades. Early detection can prevent minor issues from becoming major problems.
-Clean after use: It's really important to clean the mixer thoroughly after use. Residue build-up can lead to corrosion, reducing the lifespan of the mixer. Water cleaning is advisable, and it's good to use a brush to ensure all leftover concrete is removed.
-Lubrication: Regularly lubricate moving parts of the mixer to reduce friction and prevent wear. This includes the bearings, axles, and any other moving parts. Stick to the manufacturer's guidelines regarding lubrication.
-Establish a maintenance routine: Create a maintenance schedule based on the frequency of use. This will help to address specific maintenance needs related to wear and tear from regular usage.
-Training: Proper training is essential to keep the mixer in good condition. Operators should be trained on the correct usage methods, cleaning practices, and maintenance requirements to avoid accidental damage.
-Protection from elements: If the mixer isn't used for a while, store it safely away from harsh weather conditions. Prolonged exposure to sun, rain, or snow can damage the mixer. Using a suitable cover offers the protection needed.
-Using the right concrete mix: Finally, the type of concrete mix used can affect the mixer's health. Some may produce less residue and be easier to clean than others. So choose wisely to help prolong the mixer's lifespan.
The self-mixing concrete jzc500 is used for mixing plastic, dry, and damp concretes and homogenously mixing other materials. It is widely used in various fields due to its versatile applications. Here are some of the usage scenarios.
Business buyers can consider the following tips to select a suitable JZC concrete mixer for their construction projects and needs.
Project Type and Scale:
Buyers should determine the type and size of their construction projects, such as residential, commercial, infrastructural, etc. Also, they should consider the daily cement demand. Then, they should choose a mixer with concrete drum types, capacities, and other features that match their project requirements and scale.
Mobility and Installation:
If buyers need to transport the mixer frequently between job sites, they should consider the mixer's mobility and ease of installation. A concrete mixer with a concrete pump truck can offer greater flexibility than a stationary mixer. However, if the mixer will stay at one location for a long time, a stationary one may be a suitable choice.
Fuel or Power Source:
Business buyers should select a fuel- or power-driven mixer that meets their project's quality, efficiency, and environmental requirements. For example, a diesel-powered concrete mixer may be more suitable for an exhausting project than an electric one.
Automation and Control:
Buyers should determine whether to choose an automatic or manual-type concrete mixer according to their project's complexity, technical requirement, and staff skill level.
Safety and Compliance:
Business buyers should check the mixer's safety features, such as emergency stops, overload protection, etc. Also, they should ensure the mixer's quality complies with relevant industry standards and regulations.
Q1: How long can a self-mixer remain on the job site before the concrete hardens?
A1: Generally, concrete can remain mixed for about 60 to 90 minutes before it starts to set. However, this can vary depending on factors like the temperature and specific concrete mix ingredients.
Q2: How do self-mixers help business owners save costs when it comes to fuel?
A2: Self mix concrete allows the mixing process to occur on-site, reducing the need for transport time and minimizing the risk of concrete setting or quality deterioration. As a result, self-mixers often require less fuel for transport compared to static concrete pumps, resulting in cost savings that can be passed on to customers.
Q3: What are the limitations of a self-loading concrete mixer for construction projects?
A3: While self-mixers can be an efficient solution for many projects, they may not be suitable for large-scale construction due to their limited capacity compared to static mixers or batch plants. Additionally, they may be costlier to rent or purchase for smaller projects.
