Concrete Mixer, as well as women need to attract attention and affection!) However, like any other tool. If the kind of attention it (concrete mixer 😁) does not receive, it begins to break down and depressed at the most inopportune moment.
Adhering concrete, if it is not cleaned at the end of each working day, over time, it begins to create extra load on the engine of the mixer. Adhering pieces of concrete start to fly off when mixing, thus worsening the properties of kneading the concrete. To avoid all this, it is necessary after each use, clean the mixer.
Two cleaning methods: mechanical and chemical.
Mechanical way.
It is best to clean the concrete mixer truck korherom. High pressure water is perfectly washes all adhering concrete and mortar. But Karcher is not at all today, so I'll tell you an easier way to clean.
After completing the tank pour a bucket of water mixers. Cant the tank almost horizontally, what would the water washed over the wall to the edge of the tank. Water was filled in 3 - 4 shovel broken or PLG.
Turn the mixer to work and give 7 - 10 minutes. Then, without turning off, merge all this "hellish mix." The internal walls of the tank are completely clean. If, in the blades connected to the body that is still left, it is possible to repeat the process, but to fill the sand instead of gravel.
On the outside of all cleaned manually pours water and washed with a stiff brush. Absolutely caked concrete can beat off with a hammer and chisel. But keep in mind that in such a case, you can damage the paint mixers, leading eventually to the corrosion of the unit.
The chemical method of cleaning.
Now on sale is a set of chemicals for cleaning concrete mixers. It is possible and normal hydrochloric acid, and then neutralizing with an alkaline solution of soda. But this method is dangerous and costly.
And in general, my opinion, the chemical cleaning of mixers, it is from the evil one))).
A method for preventing adhesion of concrete.
As they say smart people, it is better not to correct the consequences and prevent them whenever possible.
Therefore, when loading the components I use this method.
- 1. I am counting the approximate number of components.
- 2. The revolving mixer component half asleep and water.
- Z. I knead slightly.
- 4. I fall asleep the second half and knead until tender.
- 5. The entire solution was poured, not vyklyuchayuya mixer.
Whatever it was, you need to clean the mixer immediately after use, not to procrastinate. Then it will work for years to come and delight you.
