How to make a concrete mixer: analysis of 2 options for independent productionAny construction work for the site, whether the construction of the base of construction, pouring screeds or ennobling the blind area, can not do without the use of concrete mixtures. Wishing to save for the construction of some craftsmen knead it manually. If for the sake of producing a few l. solution it is possible to do manual manual labor and an ordinary shovel, then for the sake of obtaining much larger volumes it is better to extract a special construction - a concrete mixer. The mechanism of operation of such a device is quite simple. Thanks to those described in the article step by step instructions whosoever will be able to realize such a concrete mixer to perform with his own hands, and do the needful in the farm building only because the only day .
Variation #1 - manual concrete mixer from the barrel
The real artless variation of a concrete mixer is a structure driven by light power. The lightweight unit during use predicts the use of tremendous muscle strength. All to be incomplete filling capacity to put the concrete mixer to work The lady will manage also
Thinking, like to execute a concrete mixer for the sake of home implementation, some owners try to choose a variation that does not involve huge cash outlays. A balanced version is the action of the device from an iron barrel and a frame welded from corners and rods.
A barrel with a capacity of 100 liters is perfectly suitable as a container. and higher. From the ends of the cover, drill holes for the sake of locating the shaft, and flanges with bearings are mounted to the bottom of the cover. Then, from the side of the cylinder, cut the hatch - a rectangular hole 30x30 cm. The hatch has a desire to be closer to the end, who in the process of work is quite placed on the underside. For the sake of tight fitting of the lid cover during operation of the device On the sides of the hatch it is necessary to glue soft rubber. To fix the same for a barrel, the cut piece is allowed with loops for nuts and bolts or at least some kind of constipation with the introduction of hinges. The elevation should be placed at an angle of 30 degrees, and the structure should be fixed for a frame made of corners 50x50 mm. Ready construction should be dug into the ground or tightly fixed to the surface. Elevation is allowed to be made from 2 iron bars d=50 mm.
The building is ready for operation. It remains to sleep a bit in the pool without any components, close it with a lid and use the handle to execute 10-15 turns

In order to unload the finished solution from the container, the container must substitute all around the barrel and through hole flap inverted throw down the barrel zameshenny solution .Variance #2 - the action of an electronic concrete mixer
Electronic concrete mixers refer to the level of more improved models, they are driven by the motor.
Preparation of the main parts a)
In order to execute the concrete mixer, it is necessary to prepare:
Iron pool
Electric motor
Drive height
Iron corners or bars d=50 mm for the sake of blades
Two bearings
Elements for the sake of a frame.
Using a barrel of capacity 200 liters.Because of a single load, it is allowed to take quite enough before 7-10 buckets of a ready solution, sufficient for the 1 st cycle of construction. For the production of concrete mixers, it is allowed to remove finished barrels, or weld a container of 1.5 mm of sheet steel. Everything for this must be kept by certain turning abilities.
For the sake of growth of the mixing parameters of the unit, the pool can be equipped with helical blades. They can be welded to their corners or rods by placing them around an angle of 30 degrees and giving them the shape of the inner edges of the tub.
For the sake of this concrete mixer is allowed to extract the engine through any technique (for example: a washing machine). However, when choosing a drive engine, it is better to interfere with your own election for someone who is able to provide a speed of rotation of 1500 relative/min, and the speed of rotation of the shaft at the same time did not exceed the desire 48 relative/min. Thanks to such features it is possible to obtain a high-quality concrete mash without dry impregnations. For the operation of the main power module, an additional gearbox and belt pulleys will also be needed.
Assembly of the structure
On the 2 sides of the tank, holes are drilled to connect the shaft to the drum. Refinement of the hatch of the tank occurs in accordance with the same principle, it seems to be an assembly of light concrete mixers. To the bottom of the tank a toothed crown is welded, who acts as part of the reducer. There also is attached a pinion with the smallest diameter.
In order to transform an ordinary pool into an electronic concrete mixer, it is necessary to connect a bearing with a huge diameter into the pipe piece, which in the next is sufficiently welded to the tank, and then connect the hill with the engine. Support structure - the frame can be made of wood beams or boards, iron channels, pipes or corners 45x45 mm
In order to carry out the supporting structure of the mobile, it is possible to accurately equip it with wheels that are fastened to the turned ends of the axle made of reinforcement d=43 mm.
For the sake of simplicity of work with the device, the concrete mixer desire to equip the rotary device. It is quite easy to assemble it. For this, two iron pipes d=60 mm with 2 stops and bearing housings must be connected through welding. To fix the device fixed in the bearings of the frame, it is necessary to weld the plugs and the tilting handles.
In order to fix the rotary structure in the working position, it is necessary to drill a vertical hole in the front ring and the adjacent pipe wall, 8 mm.
The end, I wanted to punish a couple of video examples. Here is a variation of production with the introduction of a motor through a washing machine:

But such a concrete mixer is allowed to execute, if you attach a motor to an ordinary barrel:
