Why Use a Concrete Mixer?

Wondering why you can’t just mix the concrete by hand? You could, but it would be a laborious job at best, and an impossible one at worst.
An industrial concrete mixer ensures that all of the raw materials are mixed in an even and uniform manner. It also expands the capacity of your workload, allowing workers to mix large volumes of concrete with ease, at a much quicker pace than they could with a hand mixer.
In addition, a concrete mixer features a revolving drum inside of the truck. This drum provides constant, continuous movement that prevents the concrete from drying out.
This means you can go longer in between mixing and pouring without having to rush from job to job. You can even mix the concrete off-site if your project requires. The drum makes sure that the concrete doesn’t dry out during the transport process.
Imagine churning the concrete by hand and pausing to rest for a few minutes! You could return to find your once-liquid mixture is now rock-hard and unable to pour. This kind of effort would be fruitless on a major project that spanned multiple job sites.
