Abstract: An advanced concrete drum cleaning system that includes a dynamically controlled oscillating nozzle, a boom zeroing function, a breakaway mounting plate, and a hydraulic assembly for enhanced safety. The system features a motor-driven nozzle having a stroke length that can be dynamically adjusted in real-time using feedback from an encoder. A controller with a user interface allows operators to precisely control and monitor the nozzle's position. Additionally, the system includes a boom zeroing function, enabling the operator to set and maintain a reference position for the boom within the concrete drum. The hydraulic assembly, consisting of lifting and lowering components, allows the nozzle housing to quickly disengage from obstructions to prevent damage. Moreover, the breakaway mounting plate provides a means for limiting damage when the nozzle housing is unable to disengage from obstructions.
