As an important equipment in construction projects, the main function of concrete mixer trucks is to ensure efficient material transportation and mixing. However, under harsh working conditions - exposed to abrasive materials, humid environments and continuous vibrations, strict maintenance is required to maximize the service life. Therefore, this article will share some feasible strategies to let you know how to protect concrete mixer trucks so that you can better complete your projects.

1.Daily cleaning and drum maintenance

The mixing drum is the core component of a concrete mixer truck. Residual concrete will harden over time, causing uneven mixing and increased wear. After each use, use a high-pressure water gun to thoroughly rinse the drum, focusing on the inside of the drum and the discharge chute. For stubborn residues, consider using a specialized drum cleaning tool. Also, regularly check the drum lining and blades. Wear-resistant drum liners can be used to reduce corrosion and extend replacement intervals.

2.Lubrication and hydraulic system maintenance

A well-lubricated truck mixer runs smoothly and minimizes friction-related damage. Every 50-100 hours of operation, be sure to lubricate the drum's rotating bearings, pivot points, and hydraulic pump connections, and use high-temperature grease to withstand the heat generated by the drum during mixing. Also, monitor the hydraulic oil level and filter condition at all times. Leaking or contaminated hydraulic oil can easily damage the hydraulic motor, and solving minor leaks early can avoid expensive repairs later.

3.Engine and Chassis Preservation

The engine and chassis are subject to tremendous loads and vibrations. When you purchase a concrete mixer truck, change the oil and filter according to the manufacturer's schedule, and check the belts and hoses for cracks. When it comes to chassis maintenance, remember to check the suspension components and tighten any loose bolts. If you are working in a dusty environment, clean the radiator and cooling system regularly to prevent damage caused by overheating.
