Finished mixture capacity

The largest volume of mortar that can be prepared in a cement mixer at a time. Since the mixing process according to the most common gravity technology (see "Mixing type") involves an inclined position of the drum, it cannot be filled to the brim — the contents will simply pour out. Accordingly, the volume of the finished mixture anyway will be less than the total volume. The latter is also true for forced-type aggregates.

When evaluating a model with gravity mixing by the volume of the finished mixture, it must be taken into account that due to the shape of the drum, this volume cannot exceed 2/3 of the total capacity — for example, for a cement mixer with a drum of 120 liters, it will be about 80 liters. If the manufacturer indicates higher figures, then it is likely that we are talking about the theoretical amount of concrete that the engine and drive can twist in the drum without problems. This is a good indicator of reliability, but it is far from a fact that just such an amount of solution at a time can be prepared in fact.

Anyway, this parameter also plays the role of a limiter: you cannot load the cement mixer in excess of the volume of the finished mixture claimed by the manufacturer. Yes, it is likely that such a quantity of ingredients will fit in the drum, the device will not break immediately and even be able to work stably for some time. However, the mechanisms of the cement mixer in this mode will experience increased loads, which can lead t...o their premature failure; and such cases are not covered by the manufacturer's warranty.
