BEST USES OF
CONCRETE-MIXERS
ON CONSTRUCTION SITES
Concrete mixers make the mixing process of
concrete easier. It is necessary to mix concrete
well in order to get the best results. This
process is not possible through manual labor.
Mixers are used for both small and large
construction projects. The basic steps for using
a concrete mixer will be the same, no matter what
construction work is being carried out. Few tips
must be remembered while operating these

PRECAUTIONS
It is important to make use of long sleeves,
gloves, closed shoes and safety shades when
operating a concrete mixer. Users must not put
their hands inside when the concrete mixer is in
use. The construction site should be clear and it
can help to put up warning signs to notify people
about wet concrete.

PREPARATION
The mixer must be set on a flat surface and close
to water supply. It is important to understand
the correct proportions of ingredients required
to make concrete. Adding the right amount of
water is essential when using a mixer.
Overfilling the concrete mixer might result in
making the concrete too dilute. It can help to
mix the concrete in batches rather than making a
large amount at one go.

CONSISTENCY
Remember that the concrete must not be too wet or
too dry. The concrete must be mixed well in order
to achieve best result. Otherwise, it can get
difficult to carry off the work well. Concrete
must be mixed really well to allow smooth working
around the mixers drum. Watch the consistency of
the concrete carefully as the drum rotates if it
reaches the top of the drum before falling off,
then it is an indication that concrete is dry.
