Cement Mixer

Cement Mixer

Overview

A Cement Mixer (also commonly named a concrete mixer) is a device that homogeneously combines cement, aggregate such as sand or gravel, and water to form concrete.

Detailed Description

A concrete mixer (also commonly called a cement mixer) is a device that homogeneously combines cement, aggregate such as sand or gravel, and water to form concrete. A typical concrete mixer uses a revolving drum to mix the components.

Concrete is used more than any other man-made material in the world. As a part of the GVCS, it unlocks a range of building techniques and methods.
