Excellent use of the old 100 liter barrel and engine from the washing machine!
Instead of handing over these things to scrap metal for a penny, we’ll make a miracle - a concrete mixer, do it yourself. Prices for finished devices for the preparation of mortar, "bite." And having a private house, you constantly have to do construction work.
However, for the manufacture of the device, you also need a pin with a hub from an old car and a powerful electric drill to disperse the working capacity and maintain it in constant rotation.
We weld the bolt to the hub with the calculation of the possibility of removing the working capacity (barrel).
Drill, equip the nozzle, as a mixer.
This part, together with a drill, is fixed so as to facilitate the rotational movement of the concrete mixer chamber.
Turning the barrel with the finished solution is not easy. Therefore, you need to equip the structure with a tipping mechanism, or simply a lever.
The advantage of such a device is its good performance in terms of speed and quality of concrete preparation. The mixture can be loaded into the working area, with the device completely stopped. At one time, 5-7 buckets of the mixture of the future solution are loaded into the working compartment. At a speed of 22 revolutions / min., The solution is perfectly formed into a uniform composition. The drill fixed in an emphasis to a barrel helps to not overheat the electric motor.
Not boring to you construction!
