How Does Self-Loading Concrete Mixer Truck Load Automatically?

With the development of the construction industry, concrete mixer trucks have become an essential piece of equipment. However, in the traditional concrete mixer truck, loading and unloading require manual operation by workers, which is inefficient and poses certain safety hazards. In order to solve this problem, self-loading concrete mixer truck was born.
The most important feature of the self-loading concrete mixer is the automatic loading. The ZOOMJO self-loading mixer, one of the representatives of self-loading concrete mixers, uses a mechanical device called "loading arm" to achieve automatic loading.
The loading arm is located near the cab, and the driver can control a series of actions of the loading arm from the console inside the cab. Specifically, when the worker shovels the material near the mixer, the driver can lower the loading arm next to the material and shovel the material onto the loading arm.
After the material is loaded onto the loading arm, the driver can lift the loading arm to lift the material to the mixing tank opening. Then, the driver can open the hopper rear bin opening through the control console to make the material enter the mixing tank accurately.
The emergence of self-loading concrete mixer truck not only improves the loading and unloading efficiency of concrete mixer truck, but also reduces the risk in the operation of workers and protects the life safety of construction workers.
Self-loading concrete mixer is an efficient and convenient concrete mixing and conveying equipment with wide application prospects. The following are several application areas of self-loading concrete mixers:
Construction site: Self-loading concrete mixer truck can prepare and convey concrete conveniently and quickly on the construction site, which greatly improves the construction efficiency and quality of the construction site.
Municipal engineering: In municipal engineering, self-loading concrete mixer truck can be used for concrete preparation and conveying in roads, bridges and other projects, which provides reliable infrastructure for urban construction.
Water conservancy projects: Self-loading concrete mixers can be used for concrete preparation and delivery in water conservancy projects such as dams and reservoirs, providing important technical support for the construction of water conservancy projects.
Coal mine engineering: Self-loading concrete mixer trucks can be used for concrete preparation and delivery in coal mine engineering, such as for underground coal mine support projects.
