Effortless Concrete Mixing for Tight Spaces: The Sibom Concrete Bucket Solution

Concrete is an engineering composite material where binder materials consolidate aggregates into a cohesive whole. Typically, when we refer to concrete, we mean cement-based concrete, where cement acts as the binding material, and sand and gravel serve as aggregates. Mixed with water (often including additives and admixtures), these ingredients are combined in precise proportions to produce what’s known as cement concrete, or simply, standard concrete. This material is widely used in construction and civil engineering, and a hopper is essential for mixing concrete effectively.

In construction operations, the most common batching method involves loading materials like water, sand, gravel, and cement into a concrete mixer for thorough mixing. Many projects require materials such as cement and other mixable components, and the choice of mixing equipment, as well as loading and unloading methods, depends on factors such as project scale, site conditions, and budget constraints.

In the absence of mixing equipment or when aiming to cut costs, manual mixing becomes necessary. This may involve using wheelbarrows to transport materials from a stockpile to a mixer for blending. However, relying on manual loading and transport not only increases labor intensity but also results in low productivity and can hinder project timelines. This approach falls short in meeting the demands of small-scale projects requiring large amounts of concrete, such as road maintenance and construction work.

Moreover, many existing mixers are primarily powered by alternating current (AC), which makes them more expensive and comes with certain limitations.

With their mobility comes the risk of accidents, and cement mixers are no exception—they can sometimes tip over.

The Concrete Bucket developed and designed by Sibom is a new type of engineering attachment that can be mounted on skid-steer loaders, wheel loaders, excavators, and telescopic forklifts. It consists of several components, including the Concrete Bucket, hydraulic motor, bearing structure, mixing shaft structure, drive chain, motor output shaft, and discharge pipe (bottom discharge type). Inside the Concrete Bucket, a mixing shaft is installed, with blades attached to the outer side of the shaft.

To ensure that the materials are thoroughly mixed, achieving fast and even blending, Sibom has specially designed the interior of the bucket. Additionally, the hydraulic motor is equipped with a fully enclosed shield to prevent potential splashing or leakage of materials that could damage the equipment.

Specifically, the Sibom Concrete Bucket offers the following features and advantages:

1. The Concrete Bucket integrates the functions of both a mixer and a bucket, easing the handling of sand and gravel, saving time, and improving work efficiency.
2. It disrupts cement particle clumping, fostering better dispersion.
3. It increases the frequency with which the mixed materials move and cross paths, accelerating the homogenization process.
4. The hydraulic drive allows the mixing auger to rotate in both directions, speeding up the uniform mixing of the concrete.
5. The Concrete Bucket's auger paddle is designed with an elongated oval shape, offering adjustability. The spacing between the paddle and the bucket's bottom and side panels can be flexibly adjusted based on actual usage.
6. To prevent concrete from splashing during the mixing process, an optional cover plate can be installed above the fence mesh for added protection.

The Sibom Concrete Bucket combines advanced concrete mixing technology with hydraulic technology. It uses the hydraulic output from the host machine (such as a loader, skid steer, or excavator) to drive the Concrete Bucket's hydraulic motor for the mixing process. It is capable of mixing soil, lime, coal, cement, and other soft bulk materials.

The Sibom Concrete Bucket takes advantage of the mobility of skid steers, loaders, excavators, and telescopic forklifts, while also providing mixing functionality. It overcomes common challenges in concrete construction, such as the need for multiple machines and personnel, large space requirements, and heavy reliance on power sources.

Situations like the one shown in the image, where equipment is forced to remain idle due to its inability to meet the demands of modern development, are unfortunately quite common.

The Sibom Concrete Bucket offers multi-functional use with just one machine, capable of loading, mixing, transferring, and unloading materials. This effectively reduces construction costs and material consumption. It's also important to note that the Sibom Concrete Bucket is made with strict selection of materials, welding, and grinding, ensuring reliable quality and long-lasting durability.

Especially when mounted on a skid steer loader, the Sibom cement mixing bucket takes full advantage of the loader’s minimal turning radius. This allows it to operate in more confined spaces, maximizing the efficiency of both the loader and the mixing bucket.

Due to its wide adaptability and features such as ease of operation, flexibility, convenient unloading, low consumption, and compact size, it is widely used in construction projects across highways, railways, buildings, hydropower, ports, mining, and more.

For example, in urban road construction, due to space limitations and tight project timelines, large cement mixers and small mixers are often unsuitable. The Sibom cement mixing bucket is the ideal solution. With just one machine, it can handle the gathering, mixing, and unloading of asphalt mix and cement concrete materials.

In addition, Sibom has specifically developed a bottom-discharge cement mixing bucket, offering users a variety of concrete pouring solutions.

With advantages such as fast operation speed, high efficiency, excellent mobility, and ease of use, the cement mixing bucket designed by Sibom has gradually become a highly praised and best-selling product in the domestic and international construction industry.
