This came to me on facebook.Your own tiny concrete mixer. Pour in the ingredients and chute out a mix continuously.

I have looked at this ad and video but can't guarantee it's safe.

It would be a handy tool- hire  bit of kit.

 

Seen US youtubers use it a lot over the last few years. Seems like a good option for some use cases but only if what your doing is suitable for using the premixed bags.

It only seems to add water to bagged mix.  If it could properly mix the dry ingredients (gravel, sand, cement, admix etc.) it would be worthwhile, so you could make concrete, screed, render, mortar etc.

I never use premixed bags because of cost and the likelihood that I want a different mix. But that may be false economy when I have to dispose of winded cement.

 

But I assume that premixed bags would come cheap in quantity.

 

I agree though that allowing for any mix would be much better, and should be included considering the high cost.

 

Looking again at the picture, it isn't complicated and I'd settle for a slight delay between in and out.

Maybe  we will see this as an improved  lidl or  b &q version soon.

Why are they trying to reinvent the wheel. Cement mixer and barrow is fine. Can't see anyone using it for a form pour

Nope, it's about 60% dearer than the readymix lorry. 

 

The cheapest way to get concrete is from the mixer truck..

And a £100/day labourer? 

My 2nd hand mixer is disappointing, esp in taking at least 20 mins to clean. So it is pointless for a small mix. The back of it somehow gathers 10mm of sand and cement so messes with the mix as well.

But for quantity it's OK as long as someone else is doing the hard work.
