Choosing The Right Concrete Mixer Type

Time:2022-11-02

With so many options, it can be difficult to know what will work best for you. Here are some things to keep in mind when choosing a cement mixer:

1. Mixer Capacity

One of the most important things to look for when you choose a cement mixer is size.

If you are taking on a large project, which will require a lot of concrete, you should hire a larger mixer, such as a drum or barrel mixer, which can prepare more concrete at once, making your job easier.

If you're just mixing small batches of concrete, then a smaller machine will be sufficient.

2. Mixer Type

Cement mixers come in three types: planetary, drum, and continuous feed.

Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages:

Planetary mixers are typically cheaper than drum mixers but take longer to complete a batch Drum mixers are faster but more expensive than planetary models.

Continuous-feed mixers allow for continuous mixing without waiting for the batch to finish before starting another one (which makes them ideal for large jobs)
