Which is the product, performs its role as a building block in construction. Concrete is an essential mixture use in construction projects, is fabricated in the concrete batching plant. The word batch is the quantified word, the batching plant is,  where concrete is prepared under the process of mixing measured substances or ingredients.

The Materials are used for the concrete mixture:

Concrete is the mixture and the components of the mixed concrete batching plant are cement, water, aggregates( sand, crushed stones), additive, and fly ash. These components weighed in varied proportion according to the required concrete type or quality.

The parts and accessories of the concrete batching plant:

First, the materials are weighed individually, the ingredients undergo the operation of the batching plant processed through various parts, then in the mixer. The mixer is a desperately significant part of the batching plant. The mixer has five types are: Reversible drum(both types: tilt and non-tilt drum), Pan, Planetary, Single Shaft and Twin-shaft. These types depend on the concrete requirement and utilization.


                           The concrete batching plant.

 

Batching method :

There are two methods of weighing concrete, volume batching which is based on volume weight and wet batching is based on weight.

Types of the concrete batching plant :

The types of concrete batching plant are described based on mixers and location.

Based on mixers:

  • Transit mix / dry mix batching plant

The difference between dry batching plant and wet batching plant, water not added in dry mix concrete at the operation time.

In the dry mix batching plant, the materials weigh individually according to the required proportion and transfers into the transit mixer. Water is separately weighted, then water added to the truck. The mixture mix during the transport or at the construction site and transit plant have automation.

  • Central mix / Wet mix batching plant:

In the wet batching plant all weighed materials are dispatch and mixed in centre of the plant. The all aggregates(graves, rock) cement, water and additive weighed individually and homogeneously measured in batches by the concontrol panel. The advantage is, it's much more consistencontrolsed for long-term projects and wide arena. It is profitable for both, buy and sell.

 

  • Ready-mix concrete batching plant:

Ready-mix concrete supplies to the site through the transit mixer in both form dry mix concrete and wet mix concrete. Ready-mix concrete supplied in the plastic state. It has wide usage in the construction of building and bridges. It's a low-cost project.

Based on the location:

The two types are based on location;



The word stationary tells its meaning, it can’t be transported to the construction site and huge. The contractors who want the product from a single place, the stationary batching plant work for them. It is required for large scale and long term projects. It produces a huge amount of concrete, up to 300 cubic meters.
