concrete mixers

Construction site tumblers

Concrete mixers are machines that combine cement, aggregate, and water to produce concrete.

The most recognizable type is the truck-mounted rotating drum that keeps the mixture turning during transport to prevent it from hardening.

Smaller portable mixers are used on job sites where less concrete is needed.

The term also applies to the workers who operate these machines or manually mix concrete.
