Abstract— This paper deals with the design and analysis of a blade for cement mixer in a purpose to find a safe designed removable blade for multi use cement mixer. It’s a main part of a mixer which helps mixing the ingredients of the cement for better quality concrete. The main power source for the drum is a motor which powers up the drums and thus rotates the blades in it. We use blades several times in order to find the optimum blade shape for better mixing, minimum failure, easier to replace and cheaper in price thus avoiding change in the whole drum when the blade fails.
