About 10/7 MIXER HEAVY DUTY DRUM
The base drum (also known as the lower drum or "Handi") of a heavy-duty 10/7 concrete mixer is the most critical structural component, as it bears the full load of the aggregates and water.
Base Drum Description
In heavy-duty configurations, the base drum is designed to withstand extreme abrasive wear from sand and gravel.
- Material: Primarily made from high-grade Cast Iron (C.I.) or heavy-duty Mild Steel (M.S.) plate. Cast iron is preferred for its superior wear resistance and durability over time.
Built for Heavy-Duty PerformanceWith its thick mild steel drum, heavy-duty chassis, and high-output capability, the 10/7 Mixer is engineered for rigorous use in demanding construction environments. Its structural integrity allows for long-term use with minimal maintenance, even under heavy loads.
Flexible and Efficient OperationThis mixer runs on both electric and diesel prime movers, offering versatility at various sites. It achieves a batch output of 200 liters at a drum speed of approximately 18-20 rpm. The tilting drum and mechanical hopper make concrete discharging and loading efficient and straightforward.
User-Friendly and Portable DesignThe mixer's semi-automatic operation is controlled via manual levers, complemented by grease-lubricated ball bearings for smooth functioning. It's designed for easy transport, thanks to a towable chassis with four wheels and a standard hook fitting for mobility across different terrains.
FAQ's of 10/7 MIXER HEAVY DUTY DRUM:
Q: How is concrete discharged from the 10/7 Mixer Heavy Duty Drum?
A: Concrete is discharged using a manual tilting mechanism. The drum tilts to pour the mixed concrete, allowing for controlled and precise manual discharging.
Q: What are the key benefits of the 10/7 Mixer's design and materials?
A: The mixer features a 6 mm thick mild steel drum, a heavy-duty steel channel chassis, and ball bearings at critical points, resulting in high durability, long service life, and efficient operation under heavy mixing loads.
Q: When is it ideal to use the 10/7 Mixer Heavy Duty Drum at a job site?
A: This mixer is best employed in medium to large-scale construction projects where consistent concrete output, high durability, and portability are required. Its batch capacity and robust structure suit demanding environments.
Q: Where can the 10/7 Mixer be used effectively?
A: It can be deployed at both urban and remote construction locations due to its portable, towed design and capability to run on either electric or diesel power, making it suitable for varied site conditions.
Q: What process does this mixer use for concrete mixing?
A: The mixer utilizes a tilting drum mechanism, where aggregates, cement, and water are loaded via a mechanical hopper and mixed thoroughly at a drum speed of 18-20 rpm. The mixture is then discharged by tilting the drum.
Q: How do I move the 10/7 Mixer around the site?
A: The mixer's design includes four wheels (two pneumatic, two cast iron) and a hook for towing, enabling easy relocation using construction vehicles or manual effort on the job site.
Q: What makes the 10/7 Mixer Heavy Duty Drum stand out from standard mixers?
A: Its compliance with IS 1791:1985, large batch capacity, reinforced drum thickness, and heavy-duty steel chassis provide a combination of safety, durability, ease of use, and efficiency that surpasses many standard mixers.
