How to maintain a concrete mixer truck

Concrete mixer trucks are special trucks used to transport concrete for construction. These trucks are equipped with cylindrical mixer drums to carry the mixed concrete. The mixing drum is always rotated during transportation to ensure that the concrete being conveyed does not solidify.

A concrete mixer truck consists of chassis, mixing drum, transmission system, water supply device, full power power take-off, front and rear brackets of mixer drum, reducer, hydraulic transmission system, feeding and discharging system, and operating mechanism.

 In 1990, Chinese ministry of traffic demand to do Regular inspections, compulsory maintenance, repairs as appropriate. In daily maintenance, besides the routine maintenance of automobile engines, chassis, etc., concrete mixer trucks must also perform the following maintenance work.

As the concrete will solidify into a hard block in a short time, and it is corrosive to the steel and paint, after every use of the concrete tank, the concrete adhered to the concrete tank and the inlet and outlet must be cleaned daily.

1. Rinse the feed inlet with water before each charge to keep the feed inlet moist while charging.

2. Fill the cleaning water tank while filling concrete.

3. After filling, wash the inlet and clean remaining concrete near the inlet.

4. After unloading at the construction site, flush the discharge chute, and then add 30-40 L of cleaning water to the concrete tank; keep the concrete tank slowly turning at a slow speed while the vehicle is returning.

5. Remember to drain the concrete tank before loading next time.

6. Clean the concrete tank and the surrounding of the inlet and outlet at the time of daily work to ensure that there is no cement and concrete agglomeration.

Free application or free testing. The free testing exercise carried out by concrete mixer manufacturers is often beneficial to the owner of the vehicle. The owner can apply these inspection campaigns to carry out specific physical examinations on the favorite vehicles, real-time detection and removal of some potential defects, and then eliminating the need for future high maintenance.

The automobile protection cycle refers to the mileage or duration of the car protection. In the process of practical application, owners should refer to the protection cycle introduced by the automobile manufacturer, contact the automobile's own skill and operating conditions, and properly adjust the protection cycle. Generally speaking, new vehicles are used under the premise of superior road conditions and do not need to be protected too often. The period of protection of the manufacturer's rules can be used as an upper limit. However, if the skills of the automobile are poor or the preconditions are bad, the protection cycle should be appropriately shortened..

Fewer crash repair assemblies. A lot of concrete mixer owners have this feeling, like a certain assembly of the car after the crash repair will be out of place, so that the vehicle enters the maintenance period too early. The reasons for this kind of scene mainly touch on the repairman's assembly skills and the quality of accessories. Therefore, it is advisable to prevent the crash repair assembly, apply the skills and equipment of various advanced generations of protection equipment and tricks, to protect the car from disassembly, so as to prevent damage to the car assembly and components, improve the quality of protection, and then reduce maintenance total cost.
