In an attempt to improve the production of concrete and make its mixing easy, a 700 mm × 530 mm drum size of a concrete mixing machine was designed and fabricated. The machine parts were made of mild steel, because of its availability and versatile machinability. The efficiency was examined using cement, sand and coarse aggregate with water was added to the dry mix to form a paste and then thoroughly mixed by the machine. The machine is capable of mixing concrete of 50 kg and the mixing time was found to be relatively equal to the time of mixing using the conventional concrete mixer. When the mixing was performed manually, results obtained indicated that the developed concrete mixer is highly efficient in operation with shorter processing time and higher processing capacity as opposed to the manual method, hence, the fabricated machine can be used for batch production of concrete for improved and effective mixing operations in construction sites.
