Concrete is the backbone of modern construction, and how you prepare it can greatly affect both your costs and project outcomes. Whether you're working on a residential build or a large infrastructure project, the right concrete mixer is crucial. Henan Terbaikmachinery provides powerful solutions like the JS1000, JS1500, and JS2000 Concrete Mixers to meet a range of needs. Here’s everything you need to know.
Is It Cheaper to Mix Your Own Concrete?
Mixing your own concrete can often be more economical, especially for small- to medium-sized projects. By sourcing cement, sand, and gravel individually and using a reliable concrete mixer from Henan Terbaikmachinery, you avoid delivery charges and control the mix quality yourself.
For those managing regular or large volumes, investing in a JS1000 or JS1500 Concrete Mixer reduces long-term costs while ensuring consistency and reducing waste.
What is the 4-2-1 Rule for Concrete?
The 4-2-1 rule is a traditional and widely used concrete mix ratio. It consists of:
4 parts gravel (coarse aggregate)
2 parts sand (fine aggregate)
1 part cement
This simple formula ensures a durable and versatile concrete mix suitable for general construction. With a JS2000 Concrete Mixer, this ratio can be evenly mixed for large-scale projects, guaranteeing strength and longevity in every batch.
How Many 80lb Bags of Concrete Can You Mix in a Mixer?
Mixer capacity depends on the model:
JS1000 Concrete Mixer: Handles approximately 12–14 bags (80lb) per batch
JS1500 Concrete Mixer: Accommodates around 18–20 bags
JS2000 Concrete Mixer: Mixes up to 24–28 bags per batch
Using an industrial-grade mixer not only speeds up production but also ensures uniform consistency and prevents material loss—essential for high-efficiency job sites.
Is It Worth Buying a Concrete Mixer?
Absolutely—if you’re frequently working with concrete, owning a reliable mixer is a smart investment. Here’s why:
Cost Savings: Eliminate the need for ready-mix deliveries
Efficiency: Mix large batches quickly and evenly
Consistency: Better control over your materials and ratios
Durability: Long-term use with minimal maintenance when using quality mixers like those from Henan Terbaikmachinery
