• DESCRIPTION

Concrete Mixers first came into existence in the 1900s having a simple drum-like structure
powered by steam engine has gone since major modifications till date with continuous
advancement in engineering, keeping up with the evolving needs in the construction sector.
Earlier the Concrete mixers were powered by steam engine, now the concrete mixers usually run
on Diesel but the base drum-shaped body remains the same.

Concrete is majorly used in the construction industry. Concrete is an aggregate of usually
stone or gravel, water and cement. Modern cement is a complex blend of finely ground minerals,
called “Portland”. The cement plays a major role as the binder to the aggregates whereas the
aggregates acts as the filler materials that give strength to concrete. Concrete is made by
combining the three ingredients in a Concrete mixer machine, the water is absorbed by the
cement, which then binds the aggregate together, creating concrete .
