FAQ's of Laboratory Concrete Mixer - Motorised:
Q: How do I operate the Laboratory Concrete Mixer - Motorised in a laboratory setting?
A: To operate the mixer, ensure it is connected to a 220V AC power supply. Use the manual control switch to start the motor, then load your materials into the drum. Tilt the drum using the gear-operated hand wheel for easy loading and unloading. Follow standard laboratory safety precautions during use.
Q: What is the typical application of this concrete mixer in a laboratory?
A: This mixer is primarily used to prepare concrete specimens for laboratory testing, mixing cement, sand, and aggregates efficiently to produce batches for cube or cylinder specimen sizes as per IS/ASTM standards.
Q: When should I use this mixer instead of traditional mixing methods?
A: Choose this mixer when you need consistent, repeatable mixing for concrete specimen preparation, especially when preparing batches for standardized testing in laboratories. Its motorised operation provides uniform results and reduces manual effort.
Q: Where can the mixer be installed for optimal use?
A: It is best installed on a stable, flat laboratory floor, thanks to its floor-mounted design and castor wheels for easy relocation. Ensure sufficient space for loading/unloading materials and for safe operation around the protective motor cover.
Q: What is the mixing process with this equipment?
A: The process involves loading the required quantities of cement, sand, and aggregate into the drum, activating the motor by the control switch, and allowing the drum to rotate at the specified speed (20-22 RPM). Once mixing is complete, use the drum tilting mechanism to unload the mixed concrete for specimen casting.
Q: How does the mixer benefit laboratory operations?
A: This mixer enhances laboratory productivity by delivering immediate mixing response, consistent results, and safe operation. Its versatile capacity accommodates varying batch sizes, and the robust construction allows repeated use in demanding environments.
Q: What specimen sizes and batch capacity does the mixer support?
A: The mixer supports batches for 3, 5, or 7 litre drum capacities and is suitable for custom or standard cube/cylinder specimen sizes in accordance with IS and ASTM requirements.
