Self-loading concrete mixers
The word “capacity” needs context. When comparing a self-loading concrete mixer, ask what volume each figure represents, which model it refers to and under what conditions it is stated.
A specification sheet may use cubic metres to describe different volumes. Sharing a unit does not make those values equivalent.
Keep the full name of each specification when preparing a comparison. A reference to drum capacity should not automatically be placed in a column for concrete produced or discharged.
| Term | What to identify |
|---|---|
| Drum geometric volume Drum geometric volume |
The volume of the container, separate from its working volume. |
| Mixing capacity Mixing capacity |
The working volume identified in the documentation for mixing. |
| Discharge capacity Discharge capacity |
The stated volume discharged per batch, together with its conditions. |
Ask for these concepts to be clearly distinguished in the specification sheet or quote. If a document uses an ambiguous translation, request the original term and an explanation.
A per-batch figure and an hourly figure have different scopes. Before using a figure to plan a project, identify the time unit, the operations included and the conditions of the information received.
Parameter name, unit, model, configuration and conditions. A figure alone loses some of the information needed for comparison.
This guide does not assign an output figure to any model. For a specific enquiry, consult the documented information for the equipment of interest.
Send these questions together with the model of interest and destination country. The response will be easier to review if each volume is given its full name.
Keep them separate. Identify how the equipment documentation defines each parameter before comparing figures.
Ask for the concept, unit, model and applicable conditions to be specified.
No. This guide organises concepts and questions; equipment values should be checked in the corresponding documentation.
