Making hand mixer from the barrel with his hands , quickly and inexpensively

Even inexperienced builder understands that the longevity of any structure depends on the quality of the materials used.It makes no sense to explain where and when to apply a concrete solution, because it can be answered briefly - almost anywhere, anytime.

easiest course, buy ready-made solution in the required quantity.But there are some difficulties.Firstly, whether the car can drive directly to the formwork of the foundation?If so, the (second) as a scatter on its entire volume?It takes time, and simple machines by customer's fault will have to pay not less than 1 100 rubles / hour.Only one solution - prepare a solution on their own.

But we have mentioned about the quality.To achieve it, making batches in the trough, and even if used as a filler material with larger particles, is problematic.Besides it is necessary to consider whether it is possible so to cook for 1 time a lot?

For the private sector the best option - a concrete mixer, installed directly on the site.Buy it for a short time, for a single application, it makes no sense.The cheapest model, 65 liters, costs about 6300 rubles, the unit of 130 liters - from 8500 (for more details on how to select it, click here).But then where to put it, a concrete mixer?Buyer shall have to look for.

Rent a - too expensive.At night - about 400 to 550 rubles.And if the host is not on vacation, and building, for example, in the evening but in the weekend?

It should be understood that the container must be cleaned as much as possible.If on its inner surface will be uneven (pieces of dried paint or something similar), you do not succeed.Then the entire solution will not work to select a portion of it will remain inside and solidify.This concrete mixer will last a long time, since it will gradually build up a frozen concrete.

«Hand" model

It is understood that in such an arrangement is not used the engine for mixing the solution - all done by hand.What is needed for assembly, each defines himself.

example, the fastening components can be welded, and they can be "planted" on the bolts.To as appropriate.

capacity

The idea is that the barrel will be the drum, which are loaded components for the preparation of a concrete solution.For qualitative stirring it should freely rotate about the longitudinal axis.

remains to figure out how to load and unload?To this end, settling door.Naturally, on the side of the container will have to make cuts.Fixing this "window" is made with the help of loops.It is only necessary to provide for the presence of the lock (that in the process it is not revealed), and seal (for sealing the gaps between the wall and a door).

on both sides in a barrel (at the top and bottom) the exact center of bore holes in which to insert a small tube section.It will serve as a lever "engine".Here the question arises, how to fix, given the thickness of the walls of the barrel?May be welded directly to the cover and the bottom (who will), it is possible - to flanges which are pre-fixed in the input places and the tube exit from the barrel bolt.

Stand

clear that the loaded barrel weighs a lot.Plus - it will have to twist.Therefore, the substrate must be not only durable, but also sustainable.

material for such a stand can be either metal or wood.Used angles, shapes, thick boards.The construction of a base under the barrel is 2 tripods, which are held together by longitudinal stops (runners).Their height must ensure the usability of the concrete mixer.We need to think about that this "assembly" was easy to move around the territory.

There is a nuance - the tripod may be the same, then it is necessary to drain the solution under the barrel put some dishes such as a trough (shown in the video is good), as capacity will be placed horizontally.You can stand to make a different in height, but then a solution would have to be removed manually or, or come up with a mechanism for changing the position of the barrel.The latter will only complicate the design.

On the tops of tripods can be set a little trimming of larger diameter pipes, which will rotate the lever.If you strengthen the flanges with bearings, the work will be easier.But it is somewhat more difficult to fulfill.

Tips

necessary to provide that such a mixer can be moved on its own.Consequently, the barrel should be removed from the frame.

can build a more complex design by automating the entire process.For this purpose, various devices are used as an actuator.Here are just a few options:

• electric / engine;
• bicycle drive;
• petrol unit.

can install and gearbox to facilitate manual labor.Everyone thinks the owner will choose the optimal design, but about the simplest we told.
