TRM12 Semi-Trailer Concrete Mixer

The TRM12 Semi-Trailer Concrete Mixer is a versatile and essential tool for any construction project. With its ability to mix various types of concrete, it can be used for a variety of applications. Whether you’re building a new home or repairing an existing one, a concrete mixer can make your job easier.

The concrete mixer is used to make concrete. Concrete is a building material made by mixing sand, water, and cement. There are many types of concrete mixers that vary in size, shape, and capacity. Some examples include single-chamber mixers, twin-chamber mixers, stationary mixers with drum attachments (called “continuous”), and wheeled transportable concrete mixers (called “on-site”).

The first thing you will need to do is measure the surface area of the concrete you want to mix. Once you have done that, it is best to buy a mixer that will serve your needs. You should also review the features of different models and choose a machine that is not too small or too large. Some of the most common features include power, mixing time, the weight of the load, and warranty.

History of Concrete Mixers

Stephen Stepanian developed and applied to patent the first motorized transit mixer in 1916, in an effort to replace the horse-drawn concrete mixer used at the time. Wooden paddles churned the mixture as the cart wheels turned, but the design was of limited use -it was cumbersome and slow.

The same, however, could be said of the engines and trucks during that period. But by the 1940s, engines and truck-frame construction caught up to the need for a rugged vehicle capable of hauling thousands of pounds of wet, or unset, concrete. As the building boom following World War II went into full swing. Mixer trucks came into their own. The large drum mixer seen on roads today hasn’t changed much from Stepanian’s vision of a better concrete hauler. Mobile transit mixers are a mix-and-match selection of engine, truck frame and rotating mixer.

The mixer is similar, though larger in scale, than the smaller ones found on construction sites. A large motor, separate from the engine, rotates the drum on the truck body, and a series of blades or a screw powered by the same motor keeps the aggregate, water and cement in constant motion. This keeps the premixed concrete from setting, though the clock is often ticking to get the load to the construction site, road section or parking lot.

Most cement manufacturers suggest keeping the time between mixing and pouring to 90 minutes at most. It’s even better to get it to the site in less than an hour.
