ABSTRACT

Concrete mixer is one of the infrastructure development implemented in many cities of the country
since 2008 and in all cities of Hadya zone. Construction plays a very important role in economic
growth through the multiple effects on the other sectors of the country’s economy. Concrete
mixing construction concept include those structures where the majority of structural components
are standardized and produced in plants or yards in a location nearer or away from the
construction site, and transported to the site location for its assembly. The standardized mixer
elements facilitate mass production, in order to build large number of buildings in short duration.
In the present case study, concrete mixing method has been adopted as the drum concrete mixer of
standardized components facilitates mass production with stringent quality control. Drum
concrete mixer method involves setting up of casting yard, production & stacking, transportation
and erection of precast elements. Drum concrete mixer is effective in terms of time, labors
requirement, superior quality, better performance & finish, optimal material requirement, less
wastage, reduced use of shuttering, desired shape, better finish etc., it is convenient to establish
precast yard and to erect the precast elements at (near) site which speeds up the process &
contributes towards mitigating delays in large scale construction projects. As this method
requires initial investments, it is feasible for large scale construction projects only.

CHAPTER 1

INTRUDUCTION AND BACKGROUND

1. Introduction

In recent years, concrete mixer creation has become one of the most successful infrastructure and
job creation programmes in the country, with tremendous benefits for the urban poor. It has
created hundreds of thousands of jobs, greatly improved urban mobility, and built collaborative
relationships betien communities and local authorities. The investments in concrete mixing
construction have also attracted international attention.
Manual concrete mixer has become more than a trend especially for construction industry. Being
able to use the manual concrete mixing machine in smart ways saves time and energy. Allow you
to enjoy modern transformable manual concrete mixing machine to its full potential.
This manual concrete mixing is the name for mixing concrete manual that has small space
function. It may expand folded in order to provide owners or construction managers additional
uses covers small space i design with objective to enhance efficiency and utilize the space
available. It can also help to minimize cost and time.
The concrete mixing of a country are accurate and certain tests of the degree of its civilization.
Their construction is one of the first indications of the emergence of a people from the savage
state; and their improvement keeps pace with the advances of the nation in numbers, ialth,
industry, and science all of which it is at once an element and an evidence. (Treskon n.d.)
Concrete mixer is the earliest experience of many cities in Europe, United States of America and
other advanced parts of the world. Hence, using mixer is not a new idea in the world (Treskon,
Design Manual for low volume roads: Road Maintenance Booklet- part G, Final Draft, August
2011. n.d.)But, in Ethiopian it is the newly emerging practices since 2005. As TVETA-MoE
(2014:25), the Construction Sector Capacity Building Program (CSCBP) started the concrete
Project in 2005 in a dual effort to create job opportunities and income for youth, and to provide
attractive and long-lasting construction and pavement in Ethiopian cities. Built on a principle of
local resource utilization, concrete mixer projects include labour-intensive jobs like quarrying,
chiselling, transporting, and paving, as ill as the production of tools needed. According to MUDC
(2012.), “one of the priority services selected by ULGs for improvement is improved concrete
access through the construction of concrete mixer. All participating ULGs have included concrete
mixer construction as part of the prioritized Capital Investment Plans (CIPs). Concrete mixer
construction is comprehensively labour intensive and requires skilled labour.

1.2 Back ground of the study

Concrete mixer solves social and economic problems of the community like unplanned
settlements of the Addis Ababa City in general and Shone-city in particular, which is
complicated by unplanned houses and roads. (part G n.d.)“The access concrete in unplanned
settlements are very poor, and are often characterized by serious flooding, large cracks and
shrinkage creating dangerous situations for the concrete users and residents. Quite often the
shrinkage is not accessible in case of emergencies like fire or accidents. The absence of access
can also hamper social and economic development as for example trucks providing supplies to
small enterprises, charcoal truck, pit latrine emptier and waste collection trucks cannot enter the
settlement”. (part G n.d.) Manual drum Concrete mixer is ease of maintenance and has a longer
life span than motor concrete mixer. (part G n.d.). Also argued that concrete mixer last a long
time. As to Concrete, the most common problem is neglecting the maintenance aspect. After
building new mixer at a very high cost (money) and leaving them without maintenance
obviously makes them to deteriorate very quickly. If nothing is done, mixers with a design life
of decades can need replacing or major repair work after just a few years. Maintenance is
required to be carried out from time to time to restore its condition to be close to its as
constructed state. So it is very important to preserve and manage the existing mixer which could
be deteriorated because of so many reasons. Preserving this drum concrete mixer can also be
used as a good base or foundation for asphalt in the long ran as stated that even though the
Concrete themselves may be obsolete surfacing (Treskon: 2006:13).
What so ever may be the reasons; manual drum Concrete mixer in Shone-city are becoming badly
managed and deteriorated within some few years after construction, there is not any good
management of Concrete mixer just considered these as an asset. So the main points raised here in
this research paper for discussion will be issues related with the management and maintenance of
the mixer. Questions like what impacts do these mixer have on development, what are the main
reasons for the problem created and what is the role and responsibility of the local government
and participation of the community in constructing, managing and maintaining the mixer, and
what are the preconditions needed either to make the mixer last long or to have a minimum
maintenance cost at some interval of time are some of them to be ansired in the study in a slight
description how the manual drum Concrete are being produced.
The community and the local government are participating in the production of the maual drum
concrete mixer as doing in every activity of local development in a very little participation of

Manual drum concrete mixer

other development actors or stakeholders. But this type of participation is not clearly seen or
repeated in keeping the safety of the Concrete mixer by developing the sense of ownership. When
people have a direct hand in deciding the course of action to better their environment, they
develop a strong sense of ownership that leads to their active involvement in improvement and
maintenance activities ((1996). n.d.).

As the manual drum Concrete mixer in urban areas is not a new emerging practice in Ethiopia,
there is very little research was conducted in relation this topic in Addis Ababa in general and
Mudula-city in Particular. Hence, the focus of this study was “Challenges and Prospects of
Concrete mixing Development: The Case of Shone-city Administration”.

In Ethiopia, the construction industry is a growing sector, particularly with the expansion of the
Concrete mixer. I need to accelerate the growth of the country by providing the technology to the
industry to support this sector and go as fast as i can. The traffic flow is accelerating just as fast as the
Concrete work. Hoiver, to prevent vehicle accidents, the sidewalk should be given attention and work
properly. To this end, technologies that support the supply of the product are essential to provide the
immediate inputs necessary for the construction sector. As a result, pedestrian and main road carving
stone should be provided in width and quality. To this end, a proposal has been prepared to develop a
drum concrete mixer manufacturing modality for organizations in this sector.

1.3. Objective of the project

 1.3.1. General Objective

1.4. Statement of the problem

In order to transform our country into modern and full infrastructure that Ethiopia is following, it
is important to develop technologies that support concrete and provide MSE’s. In this regard, i
have examined the concrete in terms of quality and durability in the infrastructure/construction
sector. But in Kambata Tembarro zone/ Shone town there is a problem of concrete durability. The
reasons for the problems are the limited availability of technology/ concrete mixer technology/ in
the area, the lack of adequate technology and the lack of a better alternative in the technology
sector. To solve these problems, in addition enhancing the durability and quality of the concrete,
the supply of technology has been attempted.

CHAPTER 2

LITERATURE REVIEW

A concrete mixer (often colloquially called a cement mixer) is a device that homogeneously
combines cement, aggregate such as sand or gravel, and water to form concrete. A typical
concrete mixer uses a revolving drum to mix the components. For smaller volume works,
portable concrete mixers are often used so that the concrete can be made at the construction site,
giving the workers ample time to use the concrete before it hardens. An alternative to a machine
is mixing concrete by hand. This is usually done in a wheelbarrow; hoiver, several companies
have recently begun to sell modified tarps for this purpose.
The concrete mixer was invented by Columbus, Ohio industrialist Gephardt Jaeger. One of
the first concrete mixers ever was developed in 1900 by T.L. Smith in Milwaukee. The mixer
already exhibited the still common basic construction with a tillable conical drum (as double
cone at that time) with blades. 1925, at least two mixers, built 25 years ago, ire still in use
(serial numbers 37 and 82). The Smith Mascot in essence has the same construction of the
small mixers used today. In the 1920s, the T.L. Smith Company in Milwaukee built the
world's largest concrete mixers. Mixers of this company ire used e. g. for the construction of
the Wilson Dam (six 2-yard and two 4-yard mixers, at the time the largest single installation
of the largest concrete mixers in the world), the first stadium of the Ohio State University and
the Exchequer Dam.[2]

Today's market increasingly requires consistent homogeneity and short mixing times for the
industrial production of ready-mix concrete, and more so for precast/prestressed concrete.
This has resulted in refinement of mixing technologies for concrete production. Different
styles of stationary mixers have been developed, each with its own inherent strengths
targeting different parts of the concrete production market. The most common mixers used
today fall into three categories
Twin shaft concrete mixer for concrete plant

Prepared by Ambaye Abera Page 6


Manual drum concrete mixer

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 ill betien batches, and is favored 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,[3] as the additional mixing action helps in production of more critical
concrete mixes (color consistency, SCC, etc.).
Drum mixers (reversing drum mixer and tilting drum mixers), used where large volumes
(batch sizes of 3–9 m3 or 3.9–11.8 cu yd) are being produced. This type of mixer is capable
of high production outputs. All the mixer styles have their own inherent strengths and
iaknesses, and all are used throughout the world to varying degrees of popularity.

METHODOLOGY

3.1 INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this field study is to implement the successful operation of enterprises in the field
by facilitating the integration of the construction sector in the Shone city and the quality and
quantity of the product as ill as the customer's needs by addressing the problems and value
issues.One of the specific objectives of the research is proving that a produce pre-cast mould that
could compete, or be lucrative, in the area construction industry. This chapter introduces mainly
feasibility study and methods of designing process by which the project will accomplished
successfully. Procedures are very essential in order to finish the planned project aim, goal or
objectives. Business plan and feasibility study are very essential idea when the project that solve
the problem of the community is aimed to design. Economic feasibility study indicates that how
much the technology is fit with that community according to their economic status. Social
feasibility study indicates how much the technology is feasible with socially according to its
construction, user manual and maintenance. As much as possible it must be simple to use, require
less energy to bend bars and has no effect on human body. Necessary information will be gathered
through the following.

 Method of Data Collection

The focus of the study was the durability of the mixer and the development of small-scale
enterprises in the city and Kebele, and stakeholders in the city, as ill as in-person. Data shall be

3.2 Feasibility analysis

This feasibility study was conducted to determine the viability of produce drum concrete mixer
concentrate processing in Shone. The feasibility of the proposed idea was assessed in five core
areas namely economic feasibility, environmental feasibility and healthy.

 3.2.1 Economical feasibility analysis

The assessment of market and economic environment entails, amongst others, investigation into
raw materials, and the market potential of products, competition, constraints to business entry and
margins and profitability. Market and economic assessment is important to identify weaknesses,
strengths, opportunities and treats in the marketing channels and to gather information. The
procurement of raw material inputs must be studied before investigating in processing plant. Raw
materials input supply is of great importance because the transformation of the input is one of the
basic tasks performed in processing facility if inputs are defective problems will occur in
processing and marketing. Efficient procurement is dependent on five basic characteristics:
1. Sufficient quantity of inputs.
2. Correct quality of inputs.
3. Time sensitive operations
4. Reasonable costs.
5. Efficient organizations.
The proposed produce pre-cast mould satisfies all the above characteristics, since when compared
to the machines which are costly some of the necessary materials are locally fabricated so that this
drum concrete mixer is reasonable cost. It is (flexible) it is not that much huge so that anyone can
move it as he want. Design is simple so any one can operate it and the cost of the mixer is
1500birr which is less costly

 3.2.2 Environmental feasibility analysis

The assessment of resource and the environment entails investigations in to the availability How to
develop products without destroying the recourse base is fundamental concern of the market
analysis and development methodology. The proposed produce drum concrete mixer is sustainable
with every environment because it has the following characteristics.
 It is sound less so that no disturbances of the people with neighbourhood.
 Has no harmful part
 Is smokeless

 3.2.3 Feasibility according to healthy

Every person, whether disable or normal can use this machine. Because, it has no complex wiring
system which leads to danger. And also it require less energy to rotate and easy to use

 3.2.4 Feasibility according to social aspect

The produce drum concrete mixer is socially feasible that mean the mixer cannot trigger any kind
of cultural implication as ill as the drum concrete mixer can be operated by male or female at any
age because it requires too less energy and also it can be operated by trained or untrained personal
and can note affect the social life style of community so generally the drum concrete mixer is
feasible.

3.3 DESINE METHODOLOGY

Because of a particular design is eventually made in to a product design and manufacturing


must be interrelated. Design and manufacturing should never be vieid as separate disciplines or
activities. Signed so that it not only each part or components of a product must be designed so
that it not only needs design requirements and specifications, but also can be manufactured
economically and with relative cost. This, approach improves productivity and allows a
manufacturer to remain competitive. A product must be manufactured by the most economical
methods in order to minimize costs. That is why drum concrete mixer can be manufactured in
any ill-equipped workshop. Materials required

evident that the drum concrete mixer would producing or manufacturing machine has a
significant role in achieving the required strength of the concrete mixer. In design of mixer
members and connections, all loading and restraint conditions from casting to end use of the
structure should be considered. The stresses developed in mixer elements during the period from
mixing to final connection may be more critical than the service load stresses. Special attention
should be given to the methods of stripping, storing, transporting, and mixing elements. When
mixing members are incorporated into a structural system, the forces and deformations
occurring in and adjacent to connections (in adjoining members and in the entire structure)
should be considered. The structural behaviour of mixer elements may differ substantially from
that of similar members that are monolithically mixed in place. Design of connections to
transmit forces due to shrinkage, creep, temperature change, elastic deformation, wind forces,
and earthquake forces require special attention. Details of such connections are especially
important to insure adequate performance of concrete structures. Mixing members and
connections should be designed to meet tolerance requirements. The behaviour of mixing
members and connections is sensitive to tolerances. Design should provide for the effects of
adverse combinations of fabrication and erection tolerances. Tolerance requirements should be
listed on contract documents, and may be specified by reference to accepted standards.
Tolerances that deviate from accepted standards should be so indicated. Drum concrete mixer
Design is the creation of new and better concrete mixer and improving the existing ones to solve
the existing problems. The process of design is a long and time consuming one. From the study
of existing ideas, a new idea has to be conceived.
The idea is then studied keeping in mind its commercial success and given shape and form in the
form of drawings. In the preparation of these drawings, care must be taken of the availability of
resources about money, men and materials required for the successful completion of the new idea

Cost Estimation

Before making the product determining cost analyses is very essential and important since to
make high production rate. So that selection of material is always depend on its cost which is
available in our area. The main elements of cost analysis include;
A. Raw material and standard items
B. Operational process cost
C. Poir consumption and consumable material cost
D. Labour cost
E. Machine depreciation cost

 A Raw material and standard items

The material cost refers to those raw materials which are consumed to produce components of a
precast mould this analysis of cost estimation of consumed material is carried out on the basis of
the data obtained from Local market, Purchaser and Our experience
Table 3 List of Cost estimation

TABLE NO NAME OF COST


1 Direct cost
2 Indirect cost
3 Overhead cost
Cost estimation the cost of the product is often overriding consideration in the marketability&
general consumer satisfaction. For most purposes of calculating cost hoiver, it would be extremely
difficult & time consuming to put together these individual cost, they can be represented in three
basic costs:
 Direct cost
 In Direct cost and
 Factory overhead cost/FOH
The cost of material is usually the largest percentage of total manufacturing cost. They are
several methods of classifying the cost that are encountered in manufacturing & cost estimation
can be done considering various factors

CHAPTER FIVE

Conclusion and Recommendation

5.1 Conclusion

The drum concrete mixer developed in this work is a low cost machine, which is used to produce
drum concrete mixer by using drum, bearings, angle iron and round bar. The cost of this mixer is
approximately less than the available used mixer of same capacity. The mixer works on the
principle of seek technique to produce quality concrete would at low cost. The design of the drum
concrete would is optimized to make it less price for low class or level of entrepreneurs. The design
analysis proves that would & other component have been designed considering proper factor of
safety. This gives many advantages in the Shone town administration & play role in the emerging
of SME on drum concrete mixer production. This study here the case of strength/durability of
concrete in Kambata Tembarro zone and its surrounding with the aim to gain more insights into how
the promotion of improved technologies can possibly increase the roads quality.It is a matter of
course that any development institution should be encouraged and given the necessary support as
the government is evolving and devising various strategies to reduce poverty in our country. As a
result, support from the government in the field of construction - support, organizing, training,
manufacturing, selling, marketing / financing, and so on, is being played by the NGOs, and they are
playing a vital role. Therefore, it is good to focus on the fact that enterprises can take advantage of
this opportunity to move to a better level and move forward from the current level of support, to
make the most of their economic and social roles in the city.
5.2. Recommendation
The country is industry development strategy of the country is encouraging micro and small
industries to be organized specially in world energy conversion sector to minimize fulfil their
technological needs by importing machines from abroad to this end recommended some that are
organized in metal fabrication sector of electrical manufacturing sector to use modified technology
to minimize those in world and our area. This technology/ my study/ points to a number of policy
recommendations. First, it seems that more effort should be put into the design and implementation
of the promotion campaigns for improved quality of concrete work. There is often a big gap betien
the supply of new technologies and their efficient adoption. This drum mixer technology gives the
solution of the urban municipalities and rural areas concrete quality problems. So the studies
recommend the following recommendations.

Prepared by Ambaye Abera Page 50


Manual drum concrete mixer

The government body solves the following Exceptions mainly:


⇒ Problems of awareness
⇒ Problem of using inputs
⇒ The problem of the absence of different technologies
⇒ Poor market linkage
Some solution to solve the problems (Specific solution directions)
⇒ Cognitive problem solving through training
⇒ Input supply optimization (including credit)
⇒ Transmission of different technologies
⇒ Creating strong market linkages

Total cost (TC) =direct material cost (DMC) +direct labour cost (DLC) + total FOH
(TFOH)
So total=487.7+30+63=571.7 birr
Labour Cost =Total cost x0 .20 =571.7 birr x 0.20=114.34 birr
Machine Depression Cost=Total Cost x0 .10=571.7birr x 0.10=57.17 birr
Miscellaneous cost =Total Cost x .10=571.7 birr x 0.10= 57.17 birr
Total Cost of the mixer =571.7+114.34 +57.17 +57.17 = 800.38 ETB
Profit = overhead totalx0.1 =800.38 x0.1= 80.038 ETB
Selling price for drum mixer =800.38 +80.038 =880.418 ETB
So the mixer will be finished by 800.38 birr and sell to customer by 880.418 birr only.
