There Are Two Types of Concrete Batching Plants
A concrete batching plant, also known as a batch production plant or a blending plant, is a device that combines various components to form concrete. Some of these inputs include sand, water, aggregate (rock, gravel, etc.), fly ash, potash and cement. Mixing these materials at certain rates, concrete batching plants are called "concrete batching plant". Concrete batching plants are a must for the construction and construction sector. It aims to provide more profitable and faster production for both producer and consumer. Concrete plants are divided into categories.
There Are Two Types of Concrete Batching Plants
These types of concrete batching plants are basically “Central mix batching plants” and “Ready mix batching plants”. A ready mix concrete batching plant combines all components except water in the concrete plant. This mixture is then discharged into the ready mixed concrete mixture (also known as concrete conveying). Water is then added to the mix in the truck and it mixes while transportation to the job site.
A central mixing plant combines some or all of the above components in a central location (including water). The final product is then moved to the site. The central mixed concrete blending plants are different from the ready-mixed concrete blending plants because they offer a much more consistent product to the end user, because all components are mixed in a central location and are computer-aided to ensure homogeneity of the product.
A concrete plant can have a variety of parts and accessories, including but not limited to:
Mixers (either tilt-up or horizontal or in some cases both), the center of the concrete batching plant is the mixer.
Others are may be listed like below;
- Cement batchers,
- Aggregate batchers,
- Conveyors,
- Radial stackers,
- Cement bins
- Heaters,
- Chillers,
- Cement silos,
- Batch plant controls.
