Which way to turn?

Do concrete mixers turn clockwise or anticlockwise? As I drove back to my hotel last night, I passed a line of three such vehicles, barrels zebra striped and clearly showing they were in action. And two turning one way, and one the other.

Perhaps two were mixing, and one was separating the ingredients?
