Re: how to get off old cement from cement mixer
Hydrochloric or phosphoric acid will remove cement (especially when coupled with scraping, hammering, brushing, etc).The solution can be relatively weak -- you just need to be carefull as to where you apply it

Re: how to get off old cement from cement mixer
I cleaned and repainted my Essick Plaster mixer with a angle grinder with a wire brush on it. Muratic Acid will cut it, its a slow process if you don't get most of the big stuff off.

Re: how to get off old cement from cement mixer
I vote for a hammer, hit the metal though, not the cement. that will cause the metal to vibrate and make the concrete fall right off.
