Maintenance of the Mixer Truck's Drive Unit

Concrete mixer trucks, also known as mixer trucks, are specialized vehicles used in the transportation of concrete for construction purposes. In the process of carrying concrete, the mixer truck's mixing tanks will keep rotating at a constant speed.

This not only ensures the concrete is mixed more evenly but also prevents its solidification. The power for a mixer truck to run comes from an engine. It drives the drive unit to make the mixer truck move.

Therefore, the drive unit for a mixer truck is also very important.

Maintenance of the driving unit of the mixer truck is also necessary. Here are some points regarding its maintenance:

1. The universal rotating part is prone to faults. It is necessary to add grease on time and frequently check its wear condition, and repair or replace it in time.

Generally speaking, there are spare universal shafts for every fleet of mixer trucks so that work can be resumed within tens of minutes in case of a fault.

2. Keep the hydraulic oil clean. Since the working environment of a concrete mixer truck is generally poor, sewage and silt have to be prevented from entering the hydraulic system. Hydraulic oil needs regular replacement according to the requirements of the user manual.

If water or sand is found mixed in the hydraulic oil during normal operation, the machine must be stopped immediately to clean the hydraulic system and replace the hydraulic oil.

3. The cooling device of hydraulic oil must ensure that the hydraulic oil radiator is not blocked by cement, it should be cleaned regularly to guarantee the heat exchange effectiveness. Check if the electric fan of the radiator is working normally to avoid exceeding the standard temperature of the hydraulic oil. As long as the hydraulic oil in the hydraulic part is clean, there generally aren't many faults occurring. The service life of different hydraulic systems also varies. Only when the drive unit of a mixer truck is well maintained can its power play a greater role. No matter what brand or how large the capacity of the mixer truck, the drive unit is essential. Therefore, friends driving mixer trucks must pay attention to maintaining the drive unit in a timely manner to fully tap the power of the mixer truck.
