Is it Easy to Use a Self Loading Mixer?

Self loading mixer is a "magical" machine to supply concrete for small projects in mountainous and rural areas.

Roads to these projects are narrow - the self loading mixer is compact, less than 3 meters in width.

Roads are rugged and non-paved - the mixer is 4-wheel driven and its tires are off-road type.

There is a shortage of workers - one self loading mixer replaces 6 workers in the production of concrete.

There is a tight schedule- the mixer is productive. It produces up to 200 cubic meters of concrete daily.

The self loading mixer seems to be complicated, will it be easy to use?

Yes, it is.

The mixer is highly automated. It has 2 hydraulic systems. One for moving, the other for mixing concrete. All the movements are controlled by the operator moving joysticks in the cabin. With the joysticks, the operator can make the mixer move forward, backward and make turns. This is the moving system working. By moving other joysticks, the mixer can raise or lower the loading arm to load materials, rotate the drum to mix or discharge concrete, and swing the drum in different directions.

Golden Tandems for Mini Construction Projects

The various types of mini construction projects share the same pains. 

For example, when you are building villas in the mountains; 

When you are making a road in the mountains; 

When you are paving the front and back yards; 

When you are digging drainage; 

When you are doing side ditches for the main road; 

 Either the construction site or the connecting road is too small for the massive machinery. And it is time-consuming for manual work. 

 Compact machines are introduced to release pains for such projects. These machines are small in volume but can do the same job as the big ones. 

The mini excavators can dig the foundation pits and side ditches, level the ground, or dismantle old buildings. 

 The self loading mixers can produce concrete automatically and discharge it in different directions to be more efficient. 

 The trailer pumps can deliver concrete to a higher or further location that the mixer cannot access. 

 The 3 machines together can finish most of the work on the job site.

Why is 3.5m3 the Most Popular Capacity for Self Loading Mixers?

There is an interesting fact in the sales of self loading mixers. Among the sizes of 1.2m3, 1.6m3, 2m3, 2.6m3, 3m3 3.5m3, and 4m3, 3.5m3 accounts for more than 50% of the total sales quantity.

 Why is this size so popular?

 The self loading mixers are designed for small construction projects in remote area that is out of the delivery range of ready-mix concrete or where the roads are not passable for transit mixer trucks. The self loading mixer integrates the functions of producing and transporting concrete. Thus it has been more and more popular among small contractors.

 But why do most of them choose the 3.5m3 capacity?

Basically, the users choose the self loading mixer by the amount of concrete they use in one day. For example, if your project needs 50m3 concrete daily, a 1.6m3 mixer is your best choice. The problem is that contractors do all kinds of different projects. They tend to choose a mixer that can meet the demand of as many as possible. From this point, it is better to choose the biggest size, 4m3, for example, which is more capable than the smaller machines.

However, from the technology point of view, the 4m3 mixers are made with rigid chassis while the 3.5m3 mixers have articulated chassis. The structure difference will lead to a remarkable difference in the cost of the mixers.

 Therefore, balancing capacity and cost, 3.5m3 becomes the most popular choice.

How do You Supply Concrete for Projects in Mountainous Areas?

In many countries, especially small islands, such as Indonesia, the Philippines, the South Pacific, and Caribbeans, most of the land areas are mountains. If your projects are located in such areas, how do you supply concrete to them?

Ready-mix is obviously not a possibility. Apart from the fact that there are no suppliers on the small islands, the rugged roads will stop transportation.

 The mountainous projects have to use site-mixed concrete. As a piece of efficient equipment, many project owners choose the self loading mixer. Its powerful engine and 4-wheel driving system make it easily climb up and down the rolling mountain roads. But its rising popularity has more to do with its multi-functions. The self loading mixer completes the whole process of concrete production- loading, mixing, transporting, and discharging, which takes only 12-15 minutes. This tremendously saves time and labor and ensures in-time concrete supply to the construction sites.

What Type of Pump is Used for Concrete in Indonesia?

There are mainly two types of concrete pumps- the pump truck and the trailer pump. The pump truck is more convenient to use. Its boom automatically displays the pipes to the discharging place. However, it has higher requirements in construction environments. There must be wide and flat roads for the trucks to pass.

The trailer pump is more flexible. It is small and can be carried anywhere needed. In Indonesia, many projects are on small islands. There are lots of mountains or volcanoes. A trailer pump is a good way to deliver concrete for projects where the roads are not friendly for transit dumpers.

In rural areas, the trailer pump is a perfect partner to the self loading mixer for multi-story housing projects. The self loading mixer produces fresh concrete and the trailer pump delivers it to the roof. The two machines working together save a remarkable amount of time and labor.

Is It Worth Buying a Self Loading Mixer in Indonesia?

In Indonesia, there are lots of mountains and hills. Limited by the terrains, many construction projects have poor road conditions. Concrete supply for these projects is a big challenge. The road is either too narrow or not safe for the transit mixer truck to pass.

Some contractors install small batching plants on the construction site. However, since there is no electricity source for fieldwork, a separate generator must be used to power the batching plant. Besides, there will be a loader to load the materials and a transit dumper to deliver the concrete. The purchase and maintenance costs of all these machines will be considerable. What’s more, you have to pay and train the operators.

Do you want to cut the cost and time and beat your competitors? Try the self loading concrete mixer. No generators are needed, the mixer is diesel-powered. No loaders are needed, the self loading mixer loads materials itself. No transit dumpers are needed, the mixer truck transport and discharges concrete by itself. You may have seen how much money is saved by the machine.

The self loading mixer does the work in an efficient way. From loading materials to discharging concrete, the process takes only 12 minutes. Besides, the mixer machine can move forward or backward when it releases concrete. It saves further paving work for projects like roads, water tunnels, drainage, side ditches, etc.

What project do you do? Is the self loading mixer worthy for you?

What is the Cheapest Way to do Concrete in Indonesia?

Indonesia has more than 17,000 islands and the Indonesian people live on 8,000 of them. It is hard to imagine the time and money cost of delivering ready-mix concrete to the projects in those small islands. The cheaper way is to mix concrete on the construction site.

Still, there is more than one choice. Which is the cheapest for small batching plants, self loading mixers, or manual concrete mixers?

Before we answer the question, the project scale is the first thing to be considered.

If you just pave the front yard, a mini manual mixer is obviously the cheapest machine for the micro project.

What about more significant projects? If you are going to make a road on the island, is a batching plant better or a self loading mixer?

The self loading mixer is cheaper and more convenient by all means.

Firstly, working in the field, the batching plant requires a generator to provide electricity as its power. The self loading mixer uses diesel as power. The machine cost is much lower than batching plant.

Secondly, if working on flat terrain, the batching plant needs a loader to load materials and small dumpers to transport and discharge concrete. The self loading mixer does all the work by itself.

Thirdly, if working on rugged terrains, the small dumpers may have difficulty climbing up steep slopes. The self loading mixer is 4-wheel drive and can climb slopes of 30- 40 degrees.

In conclusion, self loading mixers are the cheapest way to do concrete in Indonesia for small-to-medium-scale construction projects.

Is It Safe to Drive a Self Loading Mixer in Indonesia?

On the biggest islands of Indonesia, such as Kalimantan, Sumatra, Sulawesi, and Irian are lots of mountains and hills. The roads are narrow and rugged. Projects on these islands are hard to get ready-mix concrete delivered. The self loading mixer as an efficient on-site concrete supply is widely used. But people still wonder, is it safe to drive this heavy truck in such poor road conditions?

The answer is absolute yes.

1. The self loading mixer is small. It is less than 3 meters in width and has a turning radius of 3- 6 meters. It can pass the narrow roads to arrive at the construction sites.

2. The mixer uses an articulated design for the chassis. Its rear part can swing 28 degrees to the left or right. When the mixer drives on rugged roads, it will greatly reduce the shock from the road and protect the axles, especially when the self loading mixer is fully loaded.

3. The mixing drum, the heaviest part in the mixer, can rotate by 180 or 270 degrees horizontally. Therefore, when the self loading mixer goes up and down a hill, the driver can change the direction of the mixing drum to keep a better balance.

In sum, the self loading mixer is safe to be used in Indonesia. Because the machine is specially designed for use in such rough terrains and poor road conditions.

What is the Best Concrete Mixer in Indonesia?

Indonesia is a country built on islands. The country consists of more than 17,000 islands. Its traffic mainly depends on sea and air shipping. Land shipping is poorly developed. In order to boost the economy and attract foreign investment, Indonesia is working on infrastructure development. One of the most important projects is the road.

 Road projects on these islands have the features of being small-scale and scattered. While most of the ready mix batching plants are concentrated in the surrounding areas of big cities, it is not possible to transport concrete to these projects. Concrete must be mixed on the construction sites. The Indonesian people found the best concrete mixer- a self-loading mixer.

 Why it is the best machine?

1. It is a compact mixer for small-scale projects. Its daily capacity is 50- 200m3.

2. It automatically does loading, mixing, transporting, and discharging and only needs one operator to do the work. It is the perfect mixer to provide concrete on site.

3. It is 4X4 drive and equipped with off-road tires. It is suitable for use in non-paved and complicated road conditions.

4. When making roads, the self-loading mixer can discharge concrete while it is moving or swing its drum to pour concrete in different directions.

What is the Best Concrete Mix in Indonesia?

Concrete is a popular and important material in modern construction projects. The main ingredients cement, sand, gravel, and water are mixed in different ratios to form different types of concrete. In Indonesia, the most popular types are C20, C25, and C30. This low-intensity concrete is widely used for roads, bridges, foundations, and floors.

In order to reduce cost and improve flexibility, many project managers choose to mix concrete on site. Some of them choose the self loading mixers. The machine weighs each material and loads them into the mixing drum. Then the materials are mixed into concrete and transported to the pouring site.

If used in a narrow space, the mixing drum can be rotated 270 degrees horizontally for convenient pouring. When pouring a long project like a road, a side ditch, or a water tunnel, the self loading mixer can move forward or backward while discharging concrete. This will save a considerable amount of time and effort for paving.

Where is a Concrete Pavement Used?

Concrete and asphalt are the two main types of pavement. Concrete pavement is also called rigid pavement while asphalt is flexible payment. Asphalt costs less time and money to pave, but concrete is easier and cheap in maintenance. Therefore, concrete pavement is widely used on roads, highways, airplane runways, and various floors for parking lots, workshops, and warehouses.

In order to avoid cracking, the highway pavements are usually reinforced with steel bars, making the construction process more complicated. The more widely used concrete is unreinforced pavement. The most commonly used concrete is C30, either purchased from a batching plant or site mixed by a concrete mixer. The pain of concrete truck delivery is that you will never get your concrete at the time you want. There are always delays for various reasons.

Site mixed concrete is more available. The mixing machine does not cost excessively, either a small batching plant or a self-loading mixer. If the construction site is in the wild field without a source of electricity, the self loading mixer will be more convenient to use. Diesel-powered, taking water directly from wild sources, and discharging concrete while the mixer moves are among the advantages of self-loading mixers used for remote projects.

What is the Best Concrete Mix for Footings?

It is commonly known that the best concrete mix ratio for footings is 1 part cement: 2 parts sand: 4 parts gravel. This formula is similar to C20 concrete. However, nowadays the popular concrete used for footings or foundations is C25, the formula of which is water: cement: sand: gravel= 0.44:1:1.42:3.17.

 Footings are multiple small-volume pouring projects. It is not quite possible for a mixer truck to discharge the concrete in each foundation trench, as the passage is always narrow. Using a stationary pump to spread the concrete is one solution while the disadvantage is that it requires a lot of manpower to move and display the pipes. 

 Self-loading mixers will be good choices. It is compact and able to pass a 3-meter passage. Its drum rotates 270 degrees, so it’s more efficient when it pours concrete into trenches on both sides of the passage. What’s more, it can mix fresh concrete on the site to save more time and money.

Is It Worth the Money to Buy a Mixer and a Pump or a Mixer with Pump?

When you need to deliver concrete to a higher place for your project, there are multiple ways to do so. You may use a crane to lift up a bucket, or a pump to do so. Whether a mixer is needed depends on how you supply concrete for your project.

A pump with proper speed is necessary if you use ready-mix concrete in significant volumes. A bucket will be too small and slow.

 If you mix concrete on site, a mixer with a pump seems to be convenient, because one machine can do both mixing and pumping. However, this type of mixer is usually of small capacity. It can only be used for small volume project.

 If your project needs a large quantity of concrete and is not accessible by transit trucks, you will probably need a self-loading mixer to provide concrete and a separate pump to deliver it fast to the pouring site.

When the Concrete Truck is Stuck in Mud

After surviving for two-weeks wait for your concrete to be delivered, or the driver coming late by making a wrong turn, can you keep calm when you are told the concrete truck is stuck in the mud?

Though frustrated, problems must be solved. The truck is easier to be pulled out when it gets lighter and the concrete should be discharged before its initial setting. A good project manager always has more than one choice.

1. Mini Dumpers.

Mini dumpers are available on many sites. They are convenient to transit concrete to small or narrow corners.

2. Self Loading Mixers.

Self-loading mixers are also compact and flexible. Not only can they mix concrete on site, but also they can be used as small-volume transit trucks.

3. Concrete Pumps.

The pump truck may not perform well on muddy roads. In this case, a trailer pump will do a better job if the pouring site is within its delivery distance.

As a plan B, it is a good idea to reserve a few units of self-loading mixers, for an alternative source of concrete supply. And it can be used for transportation in case of emergency.

How Much Concrete Can You Pump in an Hour?

When we choose a concrete pump, the 3 major factors are the height, the distance it can reach and the speed it can deliver concrete. Among the most popular pumps, 30m3/h -40m3/h pumps are used for small-scale projects, and the 50m3/h- 60m3/h ones are used for medium-scale projects.

 The pump is not the bigger or the faster the better. There is a balance point between the machine cost and the project need. The concrete supply shall also be considered.

If ready-mix concrete is used, the discharging speed of the transit mixer truck shall be similar to the pumping speed of the trailer pump.

If a self-loading mixer is used for concrete supply, its productivity shall also match the pumping speed.

How Far Can You Pump Concrete?

The trailer pump, also called stationary or static pump, is widely used in small-scale construction projects because of its compact design and flexibility. Take the most popular 30m3/h to 60m3/h trailer pumps as examples, equipped with engines of different power outputs, these pumps can deliver concrete to a height of 60m- 180m or a distance of 100m- 1000m. It can satisfy the demands of most small-scale projects.

 When the pouring site is far from the discharging place of the mixer truck, or the road is not passable for transit trucks, it is convenient to pipe the concrete by trailer pumps. This machine has solved such problems for projects like water tunnels, bridges, multi-story houses, etc, and saved a large amount of time and labor in delivering concrete.

What Type of Pump is Used for Concrete?

There are two types of concrete pumps- trailer pumps and pump trucks. Pump trucks have been widely used for big volume projects such as high-rise buildings, shopping malls, schools, and hospitals. The pump truck has a boom to place the distributor pipes automatically, saving time and labor when pouring large amounts of concrete. However, the pump truck requires wide and flat roads for the truck to drive through. And the mainstream pump trucks can only pump concrete to a height lower than 100 meters.

 The trailer pump is more flexible and popular. The pump is small and compact. It can be used in small areas and has no requirements for road conditions. What's more, its price is much lower than pump trucks. But the disadvantage is that its pipes have to be laid manually. Therefore, trailer pumps are often used for small to medium-scale projects especially when there are non-paved roads or limited construction space.
