A device for loading, mixing and delivering ingredients includes a measuring bucket pivotably mounted to the free ends of pickup arms pivotably mounted to a mixing vessel including a lid having a depressed basin with an opening formed therethrough. The mixing vessel and the measuring bucket are simultaneously moved with the measuring bucket in a loading position to fill with ingredients. The measuring bucket is moved relative to the mixing vessel from a transport position to an emptying position emptying the ingredients into the mixing vessel. A linkage is pivotably mounted between the pickup arms and the lid to simultaneously move the lid from a closed position to an open position as the measuring bucket moves from the transport position to the emptying position. The ingredients are mixed by mixing paddles inside the mixing vessel, and the mixed ingredients are released from the mixing vessel through an open gate.

A system provides building materials including a packaging, a lifting device and a mixing and conveying device. The packaging can be positioned by the lifting device via the mixing and conveying device in such a way that a total height of the system is less than 230 cm.

A method of operating a concrete batching plant includes loading aggregates into an aggregate storage bin divided into compartments from the ground level by wheel loader, discharging the material from storage bin through batching gates fitted into a weighing hopper, hydraulically lifting the aggregates after being weighed in the weighing hopper, conveying cement through a screw conveyor into a cement weigher and discharging the same into a mixer, mixing and compacting the aggregates for a pre-determined time, discharging the mixed and compacted concrete into a concrete carrying hopper, transporting the concrete carrying hopper to a desired height, and loading the concrete into mobile transit mixer or concrete pump, based on the site requirement.

A mobile mixing apparatus for ensuring optimal mixing of a material includes a support member which is mobile on a support surface. A mixing drum is carried by the support member. The mixing drum has a base drum end, a side drum wall extending from the base drum end, an open drum end opposite the base drum end, a drum interior extending between the base drum end and the open drum end, a central inner surface and a base inner surface on the base drum end and a side inner surface on the side drum wall and facing the drum interior. A paddle assembly is disposed for rotation in the drum interior of the mixing drum. The paddle assembly includes a plurality of paddles engaging the central inner surface, the base inner surface and the side inner surface, respectively, of the mixing drum. At least one motor drivingly engages the paddle assembly for rotation in the drum interior of the mixing drum.
