Claims20
A volumetric mixer comprising:
- a mixing auger, and
- a chute pivotally connected to the mixing auger such that a pivot axis of the chute is substantially horizontal.
A volumetric mixer comprising:
- a mixing auger;
- and
- a chute assembly having chute, the chute assembly being configured to pivot the chute about a horizontal axis and a vertical axis and so the chute can be locked in a first position to receive concrete from the mixing auger and a second position to allow continuous pour of concrete out of the mixing auger.
A volumetric mixer, comprising:
- a mixing auger;
- a connection frame attached to an end of the mixing auger, the connection frame having a first wing facing a first side of the mixing auger and a second wing facing a second side of the connection frame;
- and
- a chute assembly pivotally attached to the connection frame, the chute assembly including a first side member pivotally connected to the first wing of the connection frame at a first pivot point and a second side member pivotally connected to the second wing of the connection frame at a second pivot point, the first side member of the chute assembly having a first hole offset from the first pivot point and a second hole offset from the first pivot point, the first hole being alignable with a first hole of the first wing of the connection frame and the second hole being alignable with a second hole of the first wing of the connection frame;
- and
- an actuator configured to pivot the chute assembly with respect to the connection frame.
