ZDCM-5
Concrete mixer truck
ZDCM-5: A 5 m³ underground concrete mixer truck for transporting and mixing concrete in trackless mining and excavation operations. Review the loading point, travel route and discharge arrangement together.
Built around your working task.
The supplied technical document describes the ZDCM-5 working with shotcrete trucks during underground excavation and mining. The rotating tank mixes concrete during transport, with forward rotation for feeding and reverse rotation for discharge.
Mixing and discharge
The documented working system uses tank rotation for feeding and discharge. Rated effective volume is 5 m³.
Emergency tank rotation
A manual emergency pump is described for rotating the tank if normal operation is interrupted. Request the operating procedure for the selected configuration.
Cab and chassis
The documented configuration includes an enclosed cab with heating and cooling, a central articulated frame and hydraulic steering.
Braking and electrical system
Wet multi-disc service brakes and a spring-applied, hydraulically released parking brake are specified. The electrical system is 24 V DC.
Technical specifications
Values describe the supplied configuration and must be confirmed before ordering. Overall dimensions are omitted because the document does not clearly identify how its dimensional tolerance applies.

Check the operating conditions.
The document specifies tunnel cross-sections of at least 3 m high × 4 m wide. Check actual machine dimensions, turning space and overhead clearance for the complete route.
The stated ambient temperature range is −5°C to 40°C. Operation above 1000 m requires an engine-power review.
The supplied document requires adequate ventilation and drainage and excludes use in environments with flammable or explosive gases or coal dust. Confirm suitability with the site team.
Concrete transport from loading point to spraying area
The ZDCM-5 is a 5 m³ underground concrete mixer truck for trackless transport. Its job sits between the concrete loading point and the receiving equipment underground. The technical description includes work with shotcrete trucks, so review the truck and receiving machine as a transfer arrangement rather than as two separate purchases.
The drum rotates for mixing during travel, with opposite directions used for feeding and discharge. Include the concrete quantity required per trip, travel distance and receiving arrangement in your inquiry. This helps define the operating task; it does not turn the rated volume into a guaranteed hourly delivery rate.
Hydraulic mixing-drive configuration
The mixing system is described as an open hydraulic circuit with a variable-displacement piston pump and motor. The maximum working-system pressure is 16 MPa.
The reference sheet lists a 16 MPa maximum brake-system pressure and 14 MPa maximum steering-system pressure.
Match the feed and discharge interfaces
The supplied sheet lists a feed height of 2450 mm and a discharge height of 1000–1270 mm. Compare those references with your loading chute and the receiving hopper. Allow the engineering review to cover vehicle position, access around the transfer point and the actual configuration being offered.
The dimensional tolerance in the source is unclear. Request a confirmed general arrangement drawing before checking roadway or overhead clearance. The reference operating weight is 14 t; it should not be treated as the total loaded weight for a road or infrastructure assessment.
Review the truck as part of the concrete supply plan
The source describes an enclosed heated and cooled cab, articulated hydraulic steering and a manual emergency pump for drum rotation. Ask for the operating instructions for these systems and identify which equipment is included in the quotation. An emergency feature is not a substitute for a site procedure.
Provide roadway gradients, turning areas, loading frequency and the destination country. If the truck will feed a spraying machine, add its hopper dimensions and receiving requirements. Review the ZUSS-20X page for a separate spraying-equipment inquiry; a compatible transfer arrangement still needs confirmation.
Selection questions
How should the loading and discharge points be checked?
Provide the loading equipment, receiving equipment and transfer-point measurements. Compare these with the 2450 mm feed height and 1000–1270 mm reference discharge height, then confirm the ordered configuration.
What should an inquiry include?
State the effective volume required per cycle, route dimensions and gradients, transfer arrangements and operating conditions. Request a confirmed dimensional drawing before planning clearances.
Does 5 m³ mean five cubic metres delivered every cycle under any conditions?
It is the rated effective volume in the technical reference. The actual loading and delivery plan must account for the concrete, route and receiving process. Confirm the proposed duty with the equipment quotation.
