The truck mixer is used to transport concrete from the batching plant to the project site and consists of a truck and a mixer mounted on it.

Truck mixers are usually divided into two groups, some of them are used only for transporting ready-mixed concrete, and some others also perform mixing operations in addition to transportation operations, in which case certain amounts of materials and water are poured into the truck mixer and the mixing operation takes place during transportation.

It should be noted that truck mixers should generally not be too far from the factory site so that the mixed concrete can be used easily and as soon as possible.

In cases where the concrete transport time is long or there is a possibility of heavy traffic, it is better to transport the concrete dry and add the required water to other materials at the project site because if the ready-mixed concrete remains in the truck mixer for a long time, it hardens and can no longer be used.

Truck mixers are widely used in construction sites, road construction, bridge construction, dam construction, urban development, etc.
