Cleaning Systems for Truck Mixer Drums
Efficient & Sustainable Concrete Mixer Drum Cleaning
We provide the optimal system for concrete mixer drum cleaning, ensuring truck mixer cleaning is efficient, safe, and sustainable. Regular cleaning prevents hardened concrete buildup, keeping vehicle weight low, reducing operating costs, and maximizing transport capacity.
Key Advantages of Our Cleaning System
- Increased transport capacity – Transport fresh readymix concrete instead of hardened residues.
- Lower operating costs – Reduced empty weight leads to fuel savings.
- Extended drum lifespan – Gentle mixer drum cleaning compared to alternative methods.
- Higher vehicle availability – Shorter cleaning times ensure more time on the road.
- No accident risk – Eliminates dangerous manual cement mixer drum cleaner procedures.
This system is ideal for fleet operators managing multiple concrete truck cleaning units.
We can prepare a customized profitability analysis based on your fleet data!
Designed for daily cleaning
How does the cleaning process work?
- Unload the residual readymix concrete from the truck
- Position truck at the corresponding marking for cleaning
- Fold up the swivel-mounted feed hopper on the truck
- Adjust the angle of the lance for optimal truck mixer cleaning
- Start the appropriate washing program
- Drain washing water into the recycling plant
- Finished!
How long does a cleaning take and how much water is used?
- The cleaning takes about 6min
- For 1 cleaning approx. 300 ltr. of water are used
- By the way, this corresponds to approximately the amount of water that has been used so far for clear rinsing of the drum.

Hopper Modifications for Daily Cleaning
For daily cleaning, the truck mixer’s hopper must be able to be quickly and easily lifted by the operator. This is essential for efficiently removing concrete residues and maintaining the functionality of the truck mixer in the long term.
More and more manufacturers are now offering integrated solutions directly from the factory to simplify this process. However, existing trucks can also be retrofitted with relatively simple modifications to ensure convenient cleaning.
At WALTER Cleaningsystems, we offer customized retrofit kits and solutions. Our systems are specifically designed to optimize the cleaning process, increase efficiency, and reduce water consumption. With decades of experience in the concrete industry, we develop solutions that integrate seamlessly into existing structures—ensuring sustainable and cost-effective cleaning.
