cement mixers

Construction site spinners

Cement mixers are rotating drum machines that blend cement, sand, gravel, and water into concrete.

The drum turns continuously to keep the mixture from hardening prematurely.

Truck-mounted versions transport ready-mix concrete to construction sites: The cement mixer backed up to pour the foundation.

Smaller portable mixers serve home projects.
