Pardon??
 
Maybe one is just doing much more work or they are different sizes.

What sort of Cement mixer? static or portable? single or three phasr, got to ask these stupid questions worked with Diplomats a lot, not the brightest technical minds on planet Earth ae they?
 
Are they on the same or separate mixers. One has been re wound but the other not?
 
actually without load he is pulling more current and we just rewind it and fix it and its same size same company manufacturer thanks for help
Can't your resident Mr Fixit help. or is he on other duties elsewhere?
 
Method of starting I presume.

Common in all of the concrete plants I worked at for their mixers. Until we started upgrading to VSD control.
Wish I hadn't asked now, thanks Rob.

Agree, bot the OPs fault his English is a bit confusing wonder what I sould be like speaking his spoken word, did a good job I thought, just got myself all tied up, must be an age thing on my part.
 
My guess, if the winding's test out ok and are balanced. (Test from the starter cabinet first, you'll find cable faults too that way). Then it will be mechanical failure, likely a bearing on the mixer itself or in the motor.

Quick check, disconnect the motor and run it without a load, check the current is equal an within a sensible range on each phase.
