How to Build a 55gal Cement Mixer 

Saya dari indonesia ,saya sangat menyukai ide kereatif anda . Jangan lupa buat lagi ide lainnya ,terima kasih maju terus

Long story. I was gonna buy one for 100 freedom dollars in the us on a classfields add. Showed up and he said if i helped him with some yard work, he would give it to me for free. I just turned 17 and dont have a car, working on a motorized bicycle, and showed up with my bike and a trailer out of 2x4 and old bike tires. Was gonna strap tie the beast down and bike it back 5 miles but he was nice and drove it to my place for free. Since he was moving, he gave me a bunch of other tools and crap too. So i spent about 1 hour digging up concrete pillar things and i got a standard cement mixer. We also talked about life and stuff/ sounds like a win win. I plan on maybe mass producing concrete lamps with it and then try and sell them in the city....

Beautiful work, sir. I wish I had your skill in making things like this look store-bought. Don't try to get humble or diminish your work, it looks way better than anything 99% of people can make.

awesome build. Thank you for sharing!

That's an awesome drum mixer 🤙

Great work. Thanks for the video.

Your skill is awesome 😎

Good luck with that belt! It's either going to break, come loose once concrete debris enters the track or slip with the weight of the concrete! You need an drive pinion gear and ring gear around the drum!

Good idea I am from Nepal

Very smart mind sir n bravo.

Thank you sir, i use your design by changing to lower height.

Nice design!!

Very nice.

good job my friends

Well , first off , good job well done.... Not to bust your chops , just hoping to help out a little... I see you said you had a little trouble determining dead center of drum bottom ...I don't see why , coz you had everything right there to find dead center , all you had to do was use it ...Before welding anything up to the drum finish the framework with the 4 rollers first where they all make contact with the drum ...Lay the drum in the roller cradle & slowly rotate it by hand while you take a sharpie taped to a stick & mark dead center as it spins like a lathe ... A concrete block, one stick , duct tape , & a sharpie & you have the most accurate center finder you could ask for ...By the way , I saw this other guy solve his warping tin bottom problem..... He measured the drum bottom inside dimension outside bottom of drum & cut a thick circle of plate steel out with plasma cutter , smoothed edges , set into outside of bottom of drum lip of drum & welded it solidly in & afterwards attached his axle hub ...And it would sound a LOT QUIETER if you used pneumatic rubber tires for support rollers instead of those hard noisy plastic ones .... Could use 2 or 3 agitating paddles to help with the mixing though , it would mix it up a lot faster that way .... .Great job on what you designed & built ....Yours works , & looks like it should work very well......👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👋

You did good job but you are missing some parts inside. I don`t know what`s the name maybe spoon or... for grabbing the concrete. How about chain or timing belt? Thank you for video.

Really great design would love to get an update on how your belt drive system has held up?

Very good Video my friend!!

Nice project bro!

Show. Very well. Im from Brazil.

Fantástico. Podria compartir los planos esta muy buena. Gracias.

The tilt adjustment could be made easier, in steps, so it is better and easier to adjust the tilt position. And so of course it turned out great

Excellent !

Parabéns gostei 👍 muito inteligente

Why you have not continued with the practical usage.

I'm thinking of putting my mother-in -law in one of these and turning it on for a few laughs. Maybe not.

Dear Mr Matty Awesome workmanship it would have been much better if you would have known as in actual with the material working of the machine however excellent idea and your efforts which is commendable. I would like to add here to turn the material inside the drum you should have given some kind of rotator inside so that when it is rotating it will mix the material properly like a ribbon blade or something thank you.

Super

Nice design. But without fins inside it will not mix properly .

Good job

Good on ya mate

Thanks for the advice, how much the engine has a horsepower

What's the motor specs?..can we adjust the speed to 7 to 10 RPM?... Very nice work u have..

What about the mixing paddles for the inside

Hello, Have you tested your machine with concrete? If yes, don't you have too much trouble tipping the tank full of mixed cement?

Like friend

Good handmade, promise me to copy your DIY.

Very interesting ideas ,❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️stay safe @con

the speed seems like this will separate the water and plasma in the blood

It is a ball bearing which leads in the center to the bottom on the outside ?????

Are there any structural plans? Would be very much grateful if you could send me a copy.

nice.....

Hi can I use part of your video to my compilation homemade inventions ?

Hello friend, what is the power of the engine?

ชอบครัยสุดยอด

looks good but I would say that I think it turned to fast

Doesn’t it need an agitator inside to flip the cement over

My DIY concrete mixer: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iD83j59aUUY.html Thanks for watching :)

How much to make me one

Mmm i'm not decided it looks like it wont last 5 minuets with a full load of concrete in it.

There are no internal mixing blades. How does that work?

is't there supposed to be something inside the barrel to mix the cement?

can you please tell me the length of the belt that you use?

Hello sir :) How many hp of the dinamo? 1 hp ? 2 hp? 3 hp? 4 hp? ...?

Good stuff... cost

Can you make me one put all the parts and shipped to honduras ready for me to assemble and how much.

All i say cool bro

and there will be water on the belt ,it will spin loose !

Is it 208L drum to the rim or cap?

sir may I borrow the design of your machine? I'll use it for a research project. I'm a fan of your work sir. hoping for positive response

Can i know what type of alternator you used??

KETINGGIAN

I will be bye this so how to I get it ...? I'm from Bangladesh

What is the motor values engine speed = motor kw =

what was the total cost of build?

Goooooooooooooooood

How does it tip into a barrow?

Are there no mixing elements installed inside?

Too many adjustment

its very expensive your machine

What are your opinions on internal fins or agitators to assist the mix? I apologize if you do this in the video and I just missed it.
