Concrete plant

Horizontal cement silos have lower requirements on foundations and can be transported by truck or flatbed without disassembly.

The screw conveyor is a machine to transfer the materials from the cement silos to the powder weighing hopper.

Concrete batch plants employ computer aided control to assist in fast and accurate measurement of input constituents or ingredients.

Many producers find moisture probes work well only in sand, and with marginal results on larger sized aggregate.

Meanwhile, water is either being weighed or volumetrically metered and discharged through the same charging chute into the mixer truck.

Portable plants are the best choice for temporary site projects or even stationary locations where the equipment height is a factor or the required production rate is lower.

Stationary concrete batching plants are reliable and flexible, easy to maintain and have a low failure rate.

Typical concrete plants are used for ready mix, civil infrastructure, and precast applications.

Precast and prestress concrete producers supply critical elements used in world-wide infrastructure, including buildings, bridges, parking decks, road surfaces, and retaining walls.

Municipalities, especially in urban or residential areas, have been concerned by pollution from concrete batching plants.
