Fuel economy and handling precautions for concrete mixer trucks.

A concrete mixer truck is a common engineering vehicle on construction sites. Generally, when you see various concrete mixer trucks on the road, you will find that the tanks on the truck are constantly rotating. This is to prevent the cement in the tank from hardening, and usually, the opening of the cement tank is upward. The role of the 8x4 concrete mixer truck is to transport the concrete or mortar that has been mixed in the concrete mixer to the construction site. Since the mixing tank of the concrete mixer truck can be rotated and stirred at a variable speed, the concrete can be transported by the concrete mixer truck, ensuring that it will not segregate within the specified distance and time, and the coarse aggregate will not settle, thus maintaining good workability. Next, let's take a look at the fuel economy and operation precautions of the concrete mixer truck.

Fuel-saving tips for concrete mixer trucks.

1. The concrete mixer truck should start softly. The sudden acceleration of the concrete mixer truck will consume several times more oil than the slow acceleration, and the sudden acceleration and deceleration should be reduced or eliminated.

2. Concrete mixer truck runs at an average speed. Generally, the economic speed of a concrete mixer truck is 40-60 km/h. When the concrete mixer truck is placed in high gear, it can run at an economical speed to save fuel. If the concrete mixer truck's speed is too high or too low, it will be bad for fuel economy.

3. Braking is essentially a process of energy conversion, which means energy consumption. When passing intersections, downhills, and curves, you should lift the accelerator in advance and put it in low gear to make the concrete mixer truck slow down naturally. It not only saves oil consumption but also ensures the driving safety of concrete mixer trucks.

4. Visually speaking, lubricating oil is like the blood of the human body. The human body is inseparable from blood, and the 6x4 concrete mixer truck is also inseparable from lubricating oil. The concrete mixer truck needs to change the lubricating oil every 5000-7500 kilometers. The selection of high-quality lubricating oil can make the concrete mixer truck have a better utilization economy.

Precautions for the operation of the concrete mixer truck.

1. When operating the concrete mixer truck, attention should be paid to the pressure of the hydraulic system should comply with the provisions of the instruction manual, and should not be adjusted arbitrarily. The quality and quantity of hydraulic oil should meet the original requirements.

2. Before the concrete mixer truck is loaded, the remaining water and debris in the mixing drum should be discharged to ensure the quality of the concrete.

3. Keep rotating during transportation to prevent concrete segregation. Before the concrete mixer truck arrives at the construction site for unloading, the mixing drum should rotate at full speed of 14-18 rpm for 1-2 minutes. Then reverse the discharge. Before reversing, the mixing drum should be stopped.

4. When the ambient temperature is higher than +25 degrees Celsius, the duration from loading and transportation to unloading shall not exceed 60 minutes. When the ambient temperature is below +25 degrees Celsius, the above time shall not exceed 90 minutes.

5. During winter construction, it should be done: check whether it is frozen before starting work. After the work is over, carefully remove the residual water in the mixing drum and water supply system, turn off the water pump switch, and put the control handle in the "stop" position.

6. Immediately after unloading at the construction site, use the hose that comes with the concrete mixer truck to flush the feed hopper, discharge hopper, discharge chute, etc. Remove sludge and concrete adhering to the body. On the way back to the mixing station, 150-200L of water should be injected into the mixing drum to clean the concrete residue adhering to the drum wall and blades.

7. After getting off work every day, the driver is responsible for injecting clean water into the mixing drum and rotating it at high speed (14-18 rpm) for 5-10 minutes. The water is then discharged to ensure the cleanliness of the cylinder. When cleaning all parts of the mixing drum with high-pressure water, care should be taken to avoid instruments and joysticks. The distance between the pressure nozzle and the paint surface of the vehicle body shall not be less than 40 cm.

8. When cleaning the dirt and residual concrete slag inside and outside the mixing drum, and when the mechanic enters the drum for maintenance and welding repairs, the engine of the CNG concrete mixer truck must be turned off first to completely stop the mixing drum. When the mechanic enters the barrel to work, he must ensure that the mixing barrel is well-ventilated, the air is fresh, free of gas and harmful dust, and the oxygen supply is sufficient. When using electric tools in the cylinder, the operator must have good insulation protection.

9. When working, do not put your hands into the rotating mixing drum. It is strictly forbidden to put your hands into the connection between the main discharge chute and the extended discharge chute to avoid accidents.

10. Regularly check the wear of the mixing blades, and repair and replace them in time.

11. Implement relevant safety operation regulations. Concrete mixer truck drivers must undergo professional training, and those without a license are not allowed to work.
