Manufacturer profiles associated with Mixing Drum.
Manufacturer listings support early research and capability understanding. They are not certification, ranking, or transaction guarantees.
A practical evidence checklist for RFQ preparation and supplier evaluation.
CNFX does not score or rank suppliers. Buyers must verify all claims and documents with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
The rated capacity typically ranges from 3 to 12 cubic meters, matching the mixer's output per batch. Confirm the exact capacity for your specific model with the manufacturer.
The drum is commonly made of high-strength abrasion-resistant steel, such as Hardox or AR400. The material hardness is specified at 45–55 HRC, referencing ASTM A514.
The drum rotates at 10–14 r/min, and internal helical blades lift and tumble the mixture, creating a folding and shearing action that blends cement, aggregates, and water uniformly.
Blade wear life is typically 5000–8000 hours, depending on aggregate abrasiveness. More abrasive aggregates reduce wear life, so regular inspection is recommended.
