12-17 inch LCD screen: The new core of intelligent control for concrete mixers
In the wave of intelligent upgrades to concrete mixing equipment, 12-17 inch industrial-grade LCD displays are becoming an indispensable core component of mixers. This golden size range of displays is suitable for the limited space of the mixer's cab and control cabinet, while also capable of displaying a wealth of operational data. With its robust industrial-grade performance, it operates stably under harsh conditions such as dust, vibration, and temperature fluctuations, laying a solid foundation for precise control and efficient operation of the mixing process.
The operating environment of concrete mixers places stringent demands on the performance of displays. Direct sunlight during outdoor construction, continuous vibration from equipment operation, pervasive cement dust and oil, and electromagnetic interference from high-power equipment all pose challenges that civilian displays struggle to withstand. 12-17 inch industrial-grade LCD displays, however, are specifically enhanced with improved protection capabilities. The front panel protection rating generally reaches IP65, and the fully sealed structure combined with highly elastic sealing rings effectively isolates dust and moisture, ensuring safety even during high-pressure equipment washing. Meanwhile, the display screen features built-in shock-absorbing pads and a metal support frame, reinforcing core components to withstand continuous low-frequency vibrations and meeting the IEC60068-2-6 industrial vibration standard, preventing malfunctions caused by equipment vibration. Its wide operating temperature range of -20℃ to 70℃ breaks down geographical and seasonal limitations, ensuring stable operation in both extreme cold and heat.
Functionally, the 12-17 inch size allows for precise and visual control of mixing operations. Compared to smaller screens, this size range can simultaneously display key parameters such as mixing drum speed, ingredient weight, mixing time, and hydraulic pressure, as well as equipment operating status, fault codes, and ingredient formulas. Operators can comprehensively understand the machine's operating status without frequently switching interfaces. Combined with industrial-grade touch technology, even while wearing gloves, operators can easily adjust formulas, set parameters, and perform start/stop operations, replacing traditional button controls and significantly improving work efficiency. Some displays also feature automatic brightness adjustment, adjusting the display effect in real time according to the ambient light intensity, ensuring clear readability in strong light and reducing eye strain at night.
From an installation compatibility perspective, 12-15 inch displays are compact and flexible, suitable for embedding in the dashboard of a truck-mounted mixer for integrated control. 17-inch displays offer a wider field of view and are primarily used in fixed control cabinets at mixing plants, supporting centralized monitoring of multiple devices. Furthermore, displays in this size range support various installation methods, including panel and wall mounting, and are equipped with rich interfaces such as LVDS and HDMI, allowing seamless integration with the mixer control system for stable data transmission.
Today, 12-17 inch LCD displays have become a key tool for the intelligent transformation of concrete mixers. They transform complex mixing processes into intuitive, visualized data, driving a shift from "extensive operation" to "precision control" in mixing operations. This not only improves the accuracy of concrete mix proportions and the uniformity of mixing but also reduces equipment failure rates and maintenance costs, injecting new momentum into the high-quality development of the concrete production industry.
