What are the Different Types of Portable Mixing Stations?
When it comes to construction, mixing components in order to form concrete is extremely
essential. It is required for everything from leveling floors, building to plastering. For this very
reason, mixing stations are an important construction tool.
With changing times, portable mixing stations have been invented for medium and small jobs.
These are usually called batch mixers and are available in various types which are mentioned
below.
1. Drum Mixer
Drum mixers usually consist of a conical or frustum shaped drum. These are used to mix
and discharge concrete mixture using either a single blade or multiple blades. Moreover,
these come in three varieties namely tilting drum mixers, non-tilting drum mixers and
reversing drum mixers. Tilting drum mixers can be tilted at angles for easy use and are
usually closed from one end. On the other hand, both non-tilting and reversing varieties
are open from both ends with chutes to collect the prepared mixture. While non-tilting
mixers are used for small construction sites, reversing ones are used to prepare dry mix
concrete.
2. Pan Mixer
Instead of a drum, pan mixers are mixing stations that consist of a cylindrical pan.
However, just like drum mixers these also have blades for mixing. Although, these are
usually star shaped for maximum efficiency. Additionally, pan mixers also have scrapers
to prevent mortar from sticking to the bottom of the cylindrical structure. Some pan
mixers have rotating blades and a stationary pan while others have a rotating pan and
stationary blades. The mixture produced is lean and stiff and it is generally collected
using an opening at the bottom of the pan.
