ACTIVITY II

1. What is the primary function of the cement mixer?

Answer : The primary function of the cement mixer is combines cement evenly to form
aggregates such as sand or gravel and water to concrete.
2. How does a typical concrete mixer mix the components?
Answer : The typical concrete mixer using a rotating drum for mixing the components.
3. What method is used for smaller volume work?
Answer : The method for smaller volume works is use the portable concrete mixers.
4. Can the portable concrete mixer help to expedite the job's completion?
Answer : Sure, the portable concrete mixer will help to expedite the jobs because the
workers can produced at the site and have enough time to use the concrete Before it
hardens time.
5. How is production and ready-mix concrete transported to the construction site?
Answer : For going to the construction site the ready mix concrete will use the special
trucks For go to construction site.
6. Can the mixing take place during the transportation process?
Answer : Of course because they can be charged with dry materials and water, with the
Mixing occurring during transport.
7. What is the industrial market increasingly requiring?
Answer : Ready-mix concrete industrial.
8. Describe the newly developed stationary mixing style!
Answer : .Twin-shaft mixers, Vertical axis mixers, Drum mixers
9. How many different types of mixers are there today?
Answer : Common mixers used today fall into three categories
10. What is the distinction between a vertical axis mixer and a double shaft mixer?
Answer :
  Twin-shaft mixers, known for their high intensity mixing, and short mixing
times. These mixers are typically used for high strength concrete, RCC and
SCC, typically in batches of 2–6 m3 (2.6–7.8 cu yd).
 Vertical axis mixers, most commonly used for precast and prestressed
concrete. This style of mixer cleans well between batches, and is favoured for
coloured concrete, smaller batches (typically 0.75–3 m3 or 0.98–3.92 cu yd),
and multiple discharge points. Within this category, the pan mixers are losing
popularity to the more efficient planetary (or counter-current) mixers, as the
additional mixing action helps in production of more critical concrete mixes
(colour consistency, SCC, etc.).
