There is a boom in the construction industry in most developing countries around the world. Concrete construction equipment is extremely important for the construction of innovative structures. Such equipment reduces cost of labor and saves time as well. In fact, the requirements for faster and more effective machines has influenced the development and improvement of several construction equipment.
Concrete construction equipment is vital for good quality work in construction companies. Good quality concrete construction equipment helps save time and money on the construction work. It can therefore reduce labor costs and increase profits by giving good quality construction services to its clients in a faster way. Due to several technological advancements, a number of concrete constructions equipment’s have come up for the use of construction companies for improved construction processes.

Thus, there are now many different concrete construction machines including a concrete mixer, transit mixers, Compact Concrete Batching Plant, Shotcrete Machine. A transit mixer is a portable concrete mixing machinery.

What is a Transit Mixer?

A Transit mixer is mainly a means to transport concrete from the concrete batching site to the construction site. It is specially designed to carry both concrete and water. The special design also includes transit drum with a spiral blade. Since this can move in multiple directions to ensure concrete material does not clot it is highly beneficial. This is low maintenance and highly efficient construction equipment.
There are two types of transit mixers, a truck mounted in-transit mixer and a trailer concrete mixer. A Truck mounted in-transit mixer is a specially equipped concrete transport truck. The trailer concrete mixer is essential a portable concrete mixer which is mounted truck for transportation.

Benefits of a Transit Mixer

Transit mixers can mix concrete and also transport it to a construction site.
Concrete mix transported in a truck will not clot
Active mixing feature of this truck eliminates cement balling.
It is a cost and time-saving construction machine.
Reduces fuel consumption involved in this process
Reduces wastage of a driver’s time (waiting time).
