FUNDAMENTAL STUDY ON MIXING MECHANISM OF CONCRETE IN THE CONTINUOUS MIXER BY VISUALIZATION TECHNIQUE

Abstract

Slope of mixer, arrengements of blades and shape of blade are most important to design high performance continuous mixer. In this paper, mixing mechanism of concrete in the continuous mixer was investigated experimentally by visualization technique.
Arrengements of blades and shape of blade are more important to improve the mixing efficiency without deterioration of discharge efficiency than angle of mixer.
