Maintenance of the Drive Unit of the Mixer Truck

Concrete mixer trucks, also known as mixer trucks, are specialized vehicles used for transporting concrete for construction. During the transportation of concrete, the mixing tanks of the mixer trucks will keep rotating at a constant speed. This not only ensures that the concrete is mixed more evenly but also prevents it from solidifying. The power for a mixer truck to run comes from the engine. The engine drives the drive unit to make the mixer truck move. Therefore, the drive unit of a mixer truck is also very important.
The drive unit of the mixer truck also requires maintenance. Its maintenance should follow these points:

1.The universal rotating part is a prone area for faults. It is necessary to add grease on time and frequently check the wear condition, and repair or replace it in a timely manner. Generally, the fleet of mixer trucks has spare universal shafts to ensure that work can be resumed within tens of minutes in case of a fault.
2. Ensure the cleanliness of the hydraulic oil. The working environment of concrete mixer trucks is usually poor, so it is essential to prevent sewage and silt from entering the hydraulic system. The hydraulic oil should be replaced regularly as required by 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. To ensure the effectiveness of the hydraulic oil cooling device, it is necessary to clean the hydraulic oil radiator regularly to prevent it from being blocked by cement. Check whether the electric fan of the radiator is operating normally to prevent the temperature of the hydraulic oil from exceeding the standard. As long as the hydraulic oil in the hydraulic part is kept clean, there are generally not many faults. The service life of different hydraulic systems also varies.
Only when the drive unit of a mixer truck is properly maintained can its power play a greater role. No matter what brand or how large the capacity of the mixer truck is, the drive unit is essential. Therefore, friends who drive mixer trucks must pay attention and maintain the drive unit in a timely manner to fully exert the power of the mixer truck.
