Analysis on the selection of concrete mixer trucks

1: Reliability
After the concrete is loaded into the vehicle, it is required to be discharged to the work surface in 2 hours or less, during which time it must be stirred constantly. If it is not transported to the construction site within the specified time or the mixing is stopped for various reasons, the concrete inside the vehicle will be scrapped, which will cause the concrete to solidify in the mixing drum, causing the mixing truck to be scrapped. This puts strict requirements on the reliability of the mixer truck and absolutely does not allow the truck to stop when it is working. Therefore, the first consideration for the selection of concrete mixer trucks is that the vehicles must be very reliable, and the lower the possibility of failure of key parts such as the engine and the transmission-drive unit, the better. LUZUN mixer trucks use Chinese famous brands YUNNEI and YUCHAI engines to provide strong power, hydraulic torque converter transmission and ISUZU axles with planetary reduction gears to reduce vehicle failure rate.

2: Suitable load capacity
Theoretically, the larger the load of the transport vehicle, the higher the transport efficiency, but this will also lead to a straight rise in vehicle purchase cost and a decrease in the passability. The construction site is generally small in area, and the road conditions are very poor. The problem of inconvenient movement of large vehicles, especially semi-trailers, must be fully considered. Therefore, when determining the load of a vehicle, it is necessary to comprehensively consider various factors. LUZUN small self loading mixer truck is suitable and practical for use on narrow roads and its 4 wheel driving system ensures good passability on rough roads.

3: Wear-resistant feeding and discharging ports
Sand and gravel are the main components of concrete. They make the concrete storage tank and the inlet and outlet ports wear seriously during work. In general, the service life of concrete tanks made of low alloy steel is 50,000 to 80,000 m3. The spiral blade life in the tank is only 30,000 to 40,000 m3. The working life is very different depending on the materials used.
LUZUN mixing drums are made of high-strength low-alloy steel, which is 1 to 2 times more wear-resistant than ordinary A3 steel.

4: The mechanism design is reasonable and easy to operate
Concrete storage tanks must be completely unloaded. These problems often encountered in the use must also be considered. For example, if the unloading is not complete, the concrete remaining in the tank will accumulate, the tank capacity will be reduced, and cleaning is very difficult. LUZUN mixers’ patented double-cone drum with double-spiral mixing screws and convex bottom enables complete discharge after evenly mixing.

5: Good after-sales service
The concrete mixer truck is a kind of special heavy-duty vehicle, which has less possession and less source of accessories. Compared with general vehicles, it has greater dependence on the after-sales service of the manufacturer. Therefore, whether the manufacturer can provide convenient, reliable and reliable after-sales service is an important factor that must be considered in the selection. LUZUN provides one year full warranty for every mixer. When a problem occurs, in domestic market, our after-sales engineer will come to site within 24 hours to solve it. In oversea markets, the user just need to make a video or description. Our engineer will analyze it and give solutions. If some spare parts are not locally available, we can provide to the customers.
