Abstract
Disclosed is a cement mixer chute assembly designed to seal a cement mixer chute. The cement mixer chute sealing system fits between adjacent sections (e.g., upper and lower) of the cement mixer chute. The cement mixer chute system may be connected to the cement mixer chute in any number of ways including clips, nuts and bolts and adhesives. The cement mixer chute sealing system prevents leakage of wet concrete as it leaves the cement mixer via the cement mixer chute.
