Abstract
A mixing drum includes a body defining a head aperture and a discharge aperture opposite the head aperture, a head coupled to the body and extending across the head aperture, and a mixing element positioned within the volume and coupled to the body. The head and the body define a volume. The body is formed from at least a first section and a second section. The first section overlaps the second section.
Claims14
A concrete mixing truck, comprising:
- a chassis;
- a plurality of tractive elements coupled to the chassis;
- a cab coupled to the chassis;
- and
- a mixing drum rotatably coupled to the chassis, the mixing drum including:
- a body defining a head aperture and a discharge aperture opposite the head aperture, the body including an inner layer defining an interior surface of the body and an outer layer defining an exterior surface of the body;
- a head coupled to the body, the head including a main body extending across the head aperture and a connecting flange extending between the inner layer and the outer layer of the body, wherein the head and the body define a volume;
- and
- a mixing element positioned within the volume and coupled to the body,
- wherein the body is formed from at least a first section and a second section, and wherein the first section overlaps the second section.

- and
- a mixing drum rotatably coupled to the chassis, the mixing drum including:
- a body defining a head aperture and a discharge aperture opposite the head aperture, the body including at least an inner layer of material and an outer layer of material coupled to one another, wherein the inner layer defines an interior surface of the body and the outer layer defines an exterior surface of the body;
- a head coupled to the body, the head including a main body and a connecting flange extending from the main body and between the inner layer and the outer layer, wherein the head is positioned such that the head extends across the head aperture, and wherein the head and the body define a volume;
- a mixing element positioned within the volume;
- and
- an adhesive removably coupling the mixing element to the body such that the mixing element can be removed from the volume,
- wherein the body is made from a first material, wherein the mixing element is made from a second material different than the first material, and wherein the head is made from a third material different from the first material;
- and
- wherein the first material is at least one of a composite and a polymeric material, and wherein the third material is a metal having a greater density than the first material.
