The drive for rotating the drum of a vehicular cement mixer includes a mechanical power train mounted in a first chamber of a drive housing and a hydrostatic motor disposed in a second housing chamber substantially surrounded by yet another chamber defined in part by an outer wall of diecast aluminum formed on an outside surface with a plurality of outwardly extending fins and on an inside surface with a plurality of support plates connected to an inner housing well defining the inner chamber. The outer chamber communicates with the inner chamber by means of an overflow outlet at the top of the inner housing wall, oil escaping from the inner chamber via the outlet flowing down the support members to the inner surface of the outer housing wall. Heat from the oil is transferred through the outer housing wall and the fins to an airstream blowing past the same under the action of a blower driven by the hydrostatic motor, an air-flow guide extending from the blower to the fins for facilitating the motion of the air stream. The guide is provided with pivotable plates at the fins for facilitating the inspection and maintenance of the cooling surfaces. A hydraulic circuit connected to a sump at the bottom of the outer chamber energizes the hydrostatic motor and delivers oil to the first chamber for lubricating the mechanical train, the first chamber in turn communicating with the outer chamber for enabling the flow of oil from the first chamber to the sump.

A mixer for concrete or other materials has a bowl rotatably mounted on a frame provided with handles and with support means, which, by moving the frame to one position, will hold the bowl in a charging and mixing position supported clear of the ground, its axis inclining up to its mouth. The frame can also be moved to bring the bowl to a travelling position to be propelled along the ground, its axis inclining upwardly towards the mouth. To discharge the mixer, the frame is movable to a further position, the bowl supported by the support means, above the ground with its axis inclining downwardly towards its mouth. The bowl may be rotated, when in mixing or travelling or discharging position, by a motor on the frame and operatively connected to the bowl, the mixer being steered by the handles when propelled with the bowl in travelling position.

A truck mixer allowing the operator to carry out direct visual control of the loading and unloading operations of the concrete, has the concrete mixer mounted on the truck with its loading and unloading mouth located at the forward portion of the vehicle chassis and arranged substantially above the driver's cab, forward of and below which cab the concrete pumping device for the distribution arm and the associated collecting tank are mounted.

A mixer particularly designed for light, domestic use is provided. The mixer includes a base frame, a mixing drum, and a handle, all of which are readily assembled and disassembled for easy transportation, even in an automobile. The drum is supported on the base frame with a three-point suspension, including an axle rotatably carried by the base frame and two rollers on the base frame which engage the drum in a position spaced from the axle toward a discharge opening of the drum. The drum is of one-piece construction and has a ring gear formed of integral, circumjacent teeth, with the axis of rotation of the drum and the gear being at an angle to the horizontal. An electric motor is mounted on the base frame directly below the drum and has a drive shaft parallel to the axis of rotation of the drum and gear with a pinion gear engagable with the integral, circumjacent drum teeth. The drum can be readily lifted off the base frame and the handle also can separated therefrom. Further, the base frame is designed with curved frame members which enable the entire mixer to be tilted to discharge the contents of the drum.

A portable mixing apparatus has a carriage assembly with at least a platform section and an upwardly extending handle section connected thereto, and the mixing apparatus can be manually moved. At least two roller assemblies having roller members therein are mounted on the platform section in predetermined spaced relation to each other for operative association with a bearing assembly which is preferably mounted for limited linear floating movement in the handle section, and with the outer surface of a mixing bowl to be mounted on said roller members. An axle extends from the closed end of the mixing bowl and when the mixing bowl is mounted in the roller members the axle will be aligned with and can be detachably connected in the bearing assembly so that the axis of rotation of the mixing bowl is substantially parallel to the plane of the platform. At least one roller member is disposed in driving engagement with said outer surface of the mixing bowl generally adjacent the closed end, and a drive assembly mounted on the mixing apparatus has a driving motor on the underside of the platform section which is connected to the driving roller member so as to provide a desired optimum speed of rotation for the mixing bowl.Additionally, the above described portable mixing apparatus may have wheels connected to the platform section, and front and rear legs in operative association with the platform section, to permit the mixing apparatus to be pivoted about the axis of the wheels for discharging mixed material from the open end of the mixing bowl.

An improved method and apparatus for producing hot mix asphalt wherein flights provided in a mixer drum for cascading aggregate and asphalt across the mixer drum are constructed to establish a plurality of cascade zones, having differing cascade densities, in different portions of the mixer drum. High density cascade zones are provided to maximize the transfer of heat to aggregate; to shield cooler portions of the drum from hotter portions thereof, and to capture fines which would otherwise pass through the drum.

A method of hot mix recycling of old asphaltic concrete paving heats the old pavement, after it has been removed and sized, to a temperature below its firing point and heats fresh aggregate to a greater temperature before combining the two and adding new asphalt. The method is embodied in a drum-mixer type of apparatus modified by inserting a smaller drum in the upstream portion of the large drum. The burner fires into the smaller drum into which the fresh aggregate only is introduced while the old mix (plus additional fresh aggregate in certain cases) is introduced into the annular space between the two drums, the fresh aggregate and the old mix being thereafter combined in the large drum, new asphalt added and the mix further heated.
摘要:
A manually operated mobile mixer having a wheeled base and a handle for rolling the base over a supporting surface. A pivot on the base rotatably engages the bottom of a cylindrical mixing container whose exterior surface frictionally engages a pair of wheels on the base. Rolling the base on its wheels rotates the container and mixes materials within the container. The container can be removed and carried to the work area.
