500L crawler type concrete mixer

Teachnical date:

• Mixing Capacity: With a drum volume of 500 liters, it produces 350–400 liters of mixed concrete per batch . Productivity ranges from 8–12 m³/h for diesel-powered models, depending on engine output .
• Power Options: Available with 9HP diesel (most common for rugged sites), 9HP gasoline, or 4kW electric motors . Diesel variants offer higher torque for off-grid applications, while electric models suit urban environments with noise restrictions.
• Mobility: Compact dimensions (e.g., 2250×2100×1750 mm) and 17-inch wheels enable maneuverability on rough terrain. Weighing 580–640 kg, it can be easily towed by a truck or tractor .
• Hydraulic System: Equipped with a hydraulic hopper lift (feeding height ~1400 mm) for self-loading aggregates and an automatic water supply system with a built-in tank . Premium models include semi-automatic discharge via a hydraulic chute .

Working Principle

1. Self-Loading: The front-mounted loader bucket scoops sand, gravel, and cement, which are then lifted via a hydraulic arm and poured into the drum .
2. Mixing: The drum rotates at 18–25 RPM, using spiral blades to blend materials thoroughly. It handles both plastic and semi-dry concrete .

Key Advantages

• Labor Efficiency: Reduces manual labor by 70–80% and eliminates the need for separate loaders .
• Cost Savings: Lower operational costs compared to traditional mixer-loader combinations, especially for small to medium projects .
• Flexibility: Ideal for narrow or remote sites (e.g., rural roads, small building projects) where large equipment cannot access .
• Precision: Built-in weight sensors ensure accurate material ratios (error <2%), while advanced models feature touchscreen controls for recipe management aimixgroup.com.

Applications

• Construction: Residential foundations, walls, and floors.
• Infrastructure: Road repairs, bridge piers, and irrigation canals.
• Agriculture: Farmyard flooring, silos, and animal shelters.
• DIY Projects: Patios, driveways, and garden structures .
