Concrete mixer bm 120, characteristics, description

Model range overview

In addition to the BM 120 model, the "Vortex" company provides a wide selection of other products. Most of them are intended for use in private construction, and are absolutely not used in industrial buildings.

They are not able to prepare the required amount of solution, which should be at least 300 liters.

• BM 63 - concrete mixer is mainly intended for the preparation of a small amount of concrete mixture. With its help, you can carry out minor repairs, surface finishing, arrangement of paths in the garden, etc. The maximum volume that can be obtained is 63 liters, its weight is rather small, does not exceed 26 kg. Dimensions 580 × 560 × 350 mm. Power consumption 220 V;
• Concrete mixer BM 130 - has a similar purpose. But note that the maximum amount of solution that can be obtained with its help does not exceed 90 liters with a pear volume of 130 liters. At the same time, her weight is 51 kg. Dimensions of the model are 770 × 690 × 430 mm. Power consumption 550 W;
• BM 140 is a semi-professional concrete mixer. The volume of the pear is 140 liters. The amount of prepared concrete mix does not exceed 100 liters. Product dimensions 770 × 690 × 430 mm. The model weighs 51 kg. Power consumption 650 W;

Models for large construction projects

• Concrete mixers BM 160 or 160 T are more powerful. They are not neglected by many construction firms for major repairs. Power consumption - 650 watts. The overall dimensions of the product are 770 × 730 × 520 mm. Unit weight 60 kg. The volume of the pear is 160 liters. The maximum amount of the prepared mixture is 120 liters;
• Concrete mixer BM 180 - used for more serious purposes. With their help, you can master the construction of a country house. Its weight is 62 kg, the maximum drum volume is 180 liters. Parameters of dimensions 770 × 730 × 520 mm, with a power consumption of 800 W;
• Model BM 200 concrete mixer, which is the most powerful brand "Whirlwind". Its technical characteristics: the drum can hold 200 liters, the power consumption is 900 W, the weight is 64 kg. With its help, you can build a house on two floors.

Instructions for use

Connect the cable to the mixer. Then it will need to be connected to the network. Before loading, the device must be started: only rotating drums should be loaded. To prevent material from bouncing off the drum, do not throw it into the running device. If you want to make your work as efficient as possible, you need to consider the following recommendations:

• pour water into the drum;
• add gravel to the drum;
• put sand;
• add cement.

If the mixer is full, do not turn it off. Unloading can only be done when the drum is rotating. Any modifications and alterations to the concrete mixer are prohibited, otherwise damage or injury may result. The "Whirlwind" devices can only be used by instructed people who have sufficient knowledge and experience. The products are not intended for use by persons with reduced mental, sensory or physical capabilities.

Before using the concrete mixer, inspect it for the integrity of the power cord, the absence of defects, the reliability of fastening of parts and assemblies. In case of any malfunctions of the device, it is prohibited to turn it on. If you are going to use a concrete mixer, you need to make sure that the workplace is lit and thoroughly cleaned of debris and various contaminants. The work surface must be level and withstand the weight of the loaded device.

General characteristics

Let's consider in more detail the "Whirlwind" concrete mixers. There are several models that share a number of characteristics:

• Convenience in transportation, since they can be divided into several components and in this way loaded onto transport;
• Mixing various kinds of compositions: dry, semi-dry, liquid;
• Stable bed that reliably supports the working capacity;
• Convenient way to unload the finished mixture;
• Reliable and durable material that is used to manufacture the crown of the working container - cast iron;
• The presence of wheels, with the help of which it is easy to move the unit around the site;
• It does not need special care, as it is protected by a special anti-corrosion paint, and the electric drive is reliably closed from the ingress of construction debris and dust.

Operating principle

Concrete mixer BM 120 "Whirlwind" refers to products that have a gravitational type of functioning. This means that the preparation of the mixture is ensured by the action of gravity in the working container, which is equipped with special blades.

These elements are stationary and securely attached inside the container. Thanks to them, the components from which the mixture is prepared do not slip along the walls of the pear during its rotation. It is thanks to them that the possibility of mixing the components in a dry state is ensured.

Features of concrete mixer

Uninterrupted operation of the concrete mixer is ensured by an asynchronous motor. He is able to work for a long time and with a considerable load. Moreover, it is reliably protected from possible overloads thanks to the V-belt transmission.

The concrete mixer operates on a voltage of 220 V. Connection is carried out using a conventional plug. The reliability of the working container should also be noted, since it is made of metal with a thickness of 1.5 - 1.8 mm. The specially equipped tilt mechanism of the container is very convenient to use.

Basic parameters table

Summing up, let's summarize all the main technical characteristics of the BM 120 concrete mixer:

Peculiarities

Concrete mixer "Whirlwind" is designed to create lime, mortar, plaster, concrete mixtures. Such devices are universal, with they can be mix different materials during construction and agricultural work. These devices are not intended for professional use. Concrete mixers "Whirlwind" differ in the gravitational type of functioning. The working vessel contains blades that create ready-made solutions using gravity. The building material is really mixed, and does not move around the drum in vain.

Vortex devices can operate with significant load for a long time. Such products do not need to be looked after in a special way, because they are coated with a special paint and varnish material, which ensures their protection from various external influences. Concrete mixers are convenient for transportation, if necessary, they can be disassembled into several parts.
