concrete mixer
Rotating construction drum
A concrete mixer is a machine with a rotating drum that combines cement, aggregate, and water to produce concrete.
The drum's continuous turning prevents the mixture from hardening during transport.
Most concrete mixers are mounted on trucks: The concrete mixer backed up to the construction site.
Smaller portable mixers serve home projects.
