Removing concrete from machinery

[MGS6930]

Our Pan mixer has just returned from a long-term hire and lets just hope the lads wash their selves better than they did our mixer.

What products have any of you used in the past with some success ?.

A needle scaler would probably get that off

If it's on the outside, when it builds up, gentle tapping with a hammer and it flakes off...just as long as the inside is clean ..

I have used brick cleaner, but thats just dilute hydrochloric acid, and a few chunks of steel for encouragement. That was on a barrel mixer, but it worked well.
A pan mixer, it may leak out the door, and it'll wipe out any paint it finds, also strip oil/grease from stuff and attack rubber seals.

If you arent precious about it, applying heat from behind will also shock the concrete free, but thats a pretty brutal way of doing it.

An apprentice with ear muffs and a needle gun/kango hammer may be the cheapest option....

shotgun - no joke, but do it from distance

 

[Pan mixer]

A lot of it will be easier to get off after a good frost.

Battery breaker drill for bigger bits.

Dissolvacrete for the lesser bits
