Top Tips for Concrete Mixers

It is crucial to know how to operate a concrete mixer before renting one for a job. Do-it-yourselfers are more likely to make certain errors than professionals, so it's crucial that you know the dos and don’ts before you start working with concrete.

WHAT ARE THE DOS OF CONCRETE MIXERS?

• Set up your workspace properly. Before beginning any concrete project, the jobsite must be well prepped. After obtaining the necessary permits, you must verify that the ground is correctly graded and stamped, that the pour area is cordoned off, and that any other duties necessary for a successful concrete pour are performed.

• Examine the mixer before to each usage. Before running a concrete mixer each time it is used, it must undergo a comprehensive check. There should be no bending or other indicators of damage on the blades. Inspecting the mixer will save you from losing time and money, as you will be able to instantly address any difficulties.

• Ensure that routine maintenance is carried out. Like any other piece of mechanical equipment, concrete mixers need routine preventive maintenance to ensure they last as long as possible and continue to serve their intended purpose. Always make sure the motor is clean for the best performance. If dust or cement gets inside the engine, you may use air compressors to blow it out.
