what makes a cement mixer brake system release slowly?

Answer:

air brakes are applied by springs and released by air pressure
There must be some form of flow control valve that limits how much air escapes when the brake is released. The FCV acts a bit like an air-proof tap that lets a small flow of air pass through if it is hardly opened.
