Dealing with residual concrete does not have to make maintaining your truck fleet difficult. Concrete trucks require a best-in-class concrete-removal program that is cost-effective, labor-saving, and equipment safe.Ìý Chipping away at concrete buildup is not an efficient way to maintain a fleet, so Zep created a complete concrete removal program:

• Supported:ÌýBacked by the expertise, equipment and training you need to succeed
• Efficient:ÌýConcentrated formulas saves time, reduces labor, and lowers costsÌý
• Safe:ÌýBiodegradable chemistry with options customizable to meet your needs

Eliminate concrete buildup.

Small amounts of concrete linger in the drum of a concrete mixer. When loading and transporting concrete to construction sites, concrete is poured out until the flow of concrete is down to a dribble.Ìý Over time, if not cleared, the residual concrete in the drum mixer will harden, take up space, and reduce the mixer’s capacity.

In addition to the internal drum, if the concrete buildup is notÌýremoved or removed with harsh chemistry there is potential for damage to the critical exterior components, wiring and truck surfaces,

Zep's concrete programs provide the expertise, equipment, and training to clean your trucks safely, efficiently and to extend truck life.Ìý
