Introduction — Reversible Drum Type Concrete Mixer with SCADA

terraequipment offers reversible drum concrete mixers integrated with SCADA for real-time production control, higher consistency, and greater uptime. The reversible drum design performs both loading and discharge in the same drum, minimizing spillage and cycle time, while PLC + HMI + SCADA provide recipe management, auto-batching, remote diagnostics, production logging, and alarms. Moisture and weight feedback let operators hit target slump and strength with less cement variance. Rugged frames, sealed drives, and compact footprints make these mixers ideal for RMC yards, on-site projects, and precast applications where mobility, speed, and quality are critical.


Working Principle & Process Flow — Reversible Drum with SCADA

Aggregates and cement are charged into the drum; rotation in one direction mixes the materials with metered water/admixture. Reversing the drum discharges the homogeneous mix. The PLC/HMI sequences gates, screw feeders, and pumps; SCADA supervises multiple mixers, logs batch data (weights, moisture, cycle time), and visualizes KPIs. Moisture probes and load cells enable on-the-fly water correction and recipe accuracy. Interlocks, alarms, and event logs enhance safety, traceability, and audit readiness.


Applications & Benefits — Reversible Drum Mixer with SCADA

Applications Concrete Mixer
  • Ready-mix concrete supply for housing, commercial, and infra projects (M15–M40).
  • Roads & highways—PQC/DLC sub-base, approach roads, and culverts.
  • Precast components: pavers, blocks, kerbs, boundary walls, small girders.
  • On-site projects with frequent relocations where compact footprint matters.
Benefits With SCADA
  • Recipe accuracy via load-cell dosing & moisture correction → consistent slump/strength, lower cement variance.
  • SCADA dashboards, alarms, and batch reports → better visibility, traceability, and accountability.
  • Fast cycles & reversible discharge → higher hourly output with less spillage and cleanup.
  • Compact, rugged build → easy relocation, lower maintenance, and improved uptime.

Key Features — Reversible Drum Mixer + PLC/HMI/SCADA

  • Reversible drum for mixing and discharge in one unit—shorter cycle times, minimal spillage.
  • PLC/HMI control with recipe library, auto sequencing, and secure user access levels.
  • SCADA supervision: live status, batch counters, energy/runtime KPIs, alarms, and remote diagnostics.
  • Load-cell weigh batching for aggregates/cement; flow-meter or weigh-based water/admixture dosing.
  • Moisture probes for auto water correction to hit target slump without over-cementing.

Maintenance & Safety Tips — Reversible Drum Mixer

Checklist Terraequipment

Monthly / Quarterly

  • Inspect drum paddles and liners; check clearances and replace worn parts to maintain mix quality.
  • Service gearbox/drive, tension chains/belts, grease bearings, and verify motor amperage under load.
  • Validate weigh calibration and water/admixture meters; update certificates in SCADA records.

Operating Best Practices

  • Keep drum and charge hopper clean; remove build-up at shift end to prevent contamination.
  • Use authorized recipes only; avoid manual overrides that bypass interlocks or safety routines.
  • Check emergency stops, guards, and limit switches; verify SCADA alarms and event logs periodically.

FAQs — Reversible Drum Type Concrete Mixer with SCADA

Q1 What capacity options are available and how do I choose?
Common capacities range from 10–30 m³/hr depending on drum size and cycle time. Estimate peak hourly demand, duty cycle, and fleet size; we’ll size the mixer with the right motor, gearbox, and batching hardware.
Q2 How does SCADA improve quality and productivity?
It centralizes live status, recipe control, alarms, and batch reports. Managers can track KPIs, diagnose faults faster, and enforce process discipline—yielding consistent mixes and less rework.
Q3 Can reversible drum mixers support moisture correction?
Yes. With moisture probes and load-cell feedback, the PLC auto-adjusts water to maintain target slump, reducing over-cementing and variability.
Q4 What is the typical installation/commissioning time?
Skid-mounted reversible drum mixers typically commission in 2–4 working days after civil/power readiness and calibration checks.
Q5 Do you provide documentation and audit-ready reports?
Yes—GA drawings, electrical SLD, calibration certificates, SOPs, and SCADA batch reports for QA/regulatory compliance.
