Best Concrete Mixers

The Generic engineers tried to consider all the nuances and, as a result, designed this cement mixer to provide a maximum usability in any conditions. The presence of wheels is a design feature of a great importance. The wheels often tell you about an easy transportation, but the Generic mixer's wheels also allow you to convey the mortar from one place to another. Employing the gravity force, the mixer will give you an opportunity to make pretty dense grouts, and the reduction gear will provide a faultless operation and longevity of the mixer.

The world's tiniest skyscraper has emerged due to a blunder. A petroleum reservoir was found in a small town in Wichita County in 1912. Needless to say that the place attracted a lot of people looking for a well-paid job, and soon the town experienced the lack of residential and office buildings. J.D. McMahon, the structural engineer and petroleum landman, decided to construct a 482-foot office building to solve this problem. He quickly found the investors for this promising project. But, once the construction was done, the investors were astonished to see the four-storey house that was only 40 feet high! It turned out that the blueprints stated the building's height in inches but not in feet as the investors assumed. The investors brought a lawsuit against McMahon to get their money back but they got nothing as the building was built exactly under the drawings they approved. Since then, the building is known as the world's smallest skyscraper.

What makes you feel confident about this concrete mixer? Of course, it's reliability. Having considered the technical specs and design features, we have concluded that the driving mechanism bears the greatest load while mixing. This concrete mixer's drive is ring gear. It is well known, ring gears are often exposed to pollutions that lead to malfunctions. Pro-Series took all the measures to prevent this and used a simple but efficient way to protect the gear. This is the steel belt that girdles the mixing drum and covers the ring gear, thereby protecting it from dirt and improving durability.

The United States Department of Defense was designed without any symbols in mind. The architects have chosen the area that had a shape of a pentagon in Arlington County across the Potomac River for its construction. However, President Roosevelt concerned that the building could hinder the view of Washington because of the Arlington Cemetery, and decided to select another place for the construction. Yet, the engineering was already in progress, and the building retained its initial shape. The new land plot wasn't surrounded by roads and the building was modified into a regular pentagon. That's how the Pentagon appeared.

Besides the functional abilities, a concrete mixer like this must meet all requirements for safety and reliability. When you buy a concrete mixer, you certainly want it to serve for years but, of course, you should use the mixer under normal conditions to avoid troubles. Being fitted with 0.33 HP motor and mixing drum of 3.5 cu.ft, this mixer will let you make about 160 lbs or ready concrete. Tip! Don't put too much building materials in the mixer as the motor won't be able to handle them and may break down. Still, if you aren't going to experiment, the mixer will last for many years. What about the mixer's reliability? Look for the answers in its design. The mixer is entirely made of a high-grade steel that ensures an excellent wear resistance. Also, we couldn't bypass the driving gear that is covered with a shield that excludes clogging and adds to the mixer's reliability. 

NEW, 24 Oz. (Ounce) Bar Ice Scoop, Dry Bin Scoop, Dry Goods Scoop, Candy Scoop, Spice Scoop, Cast Aluminum will help you dose materials in the right proportions to get a slurry of adequate consistency.

Let's look at this cement mixer from a different angle. Using this unit, you can portion the concrete according to your needs as well as transport the slurry right in the mixer to the place of construction. This is especially useful when you need to pour the grout in multiple places, for example, to make a cement floor. Such feature will let you save time and, what is more importantly, reduce your efforts. Additionally, pay attention to the mixer's drum opening; it is 14.5" in diameter, so you can easily pour concrete components from large bags.

Before engineering the Suez Canal, Louis Linant de Bellefonds ruled the construction of dams and irrigation canals along the Nile. Muhammad Ali Pasha, the viceroy of Egypt, proposed using the stones of Great Pyramids as a building material for their projects. Linant opposed that idea, yet realizing that the viceroy would hire another engineer for the projects if he continued resisting. Striving to protect the pyramids from demolition, Linant elaborated the financial analysis and convinced Pasha that quarrying is more cost-effective.

If you wish to have aesthetically beautiful curbs in your yard, you can't avoid buying Kurb Kit in addition to a concrete mixer.

Our review would be incomplete without paying attention to concrete mixer's usability. Besides the robustness, we'd like to point other useful features of this mixer. First of all, this is an ability to adjust the drum's slope angle for precise pouring the grout. Furthermore, the mixer is easy to move thanks to the built-in wheels. Looking for a compact yet efficient mixer? Get this!

There are two cities called Laufenburg in Germany and Switzerland. And what's more interesting, both these cities are divided only by a river, Rhine. The countries decided to build a bridge over the river in 2003. But.. the result was a difference in elevation of the two ends of bridge! They differed by 21". The matter was that the Germans used the North Sea level whereas the designers in Switzerland used the level of Mediterranean Sea. The engineers were aware of the 10.6" difference, and this number was doubled instead of nulling, and the German engineers had to lower their part of the bridge.
