Sealing Groups for Concrete Mixers
The primary function of the sealing group in concrete mixer machines is to prevent external contaminants like dust and water from entering the mixer and stop the leakage of essential materials such as cement and water. This is vital in maintaining batch concrete quality and avoiding material wastage, which can have environmental and cost implications.

Sealing Groups: Enhancing The Durability of Concrete Mixers
Vital Functions of Sealing Groups in Concrete Mixers
As explained below, the sealing group functions passively in concrete mixing plants by forming a physical barrier for various situations. This is crucial in concrete batching, where precision and consistency are key.
Barrier Against Contaminants: The primary function of the sealing group is to prevent external contaminants like dust and water from entering the mixer and stop the leakage of essential materials such as cement and water. This is vital in maintaining batch concrete quality and avoiding material wastage, which can have environmental and cost implications.
Prevention of Material Leakage: Found at the juncture where the rotating drum or paddles meet static parts of the mixer, the sealing group comprises seals, gaskets, and sometimes bearing arrangements. These are crafted from durable materials to withstand the abrasive nature of concrete ingredients, a critical consideration in concrete technologies.
Maintenance: Key to Longevity: Maintenance, including regular checks and prompt replacement of worn parts, is essential. This ensures the longevity of the sealing group and the mixer, be it a twin-shaft mixer, single-shaft concrete mixer, or other types.
