Varieties of concrete mixing plants

a set of devices intended for preparation of concrete of different grades, called concrete installation or concrete plant. Such equipment works with the peculiarities of the technological process for the preparation of construction mixtures, so that the finished product is uniform and of high quality. The installation of such a plan are used in the following areas:

• Construction of bridges, weirs, dams, Railways, airfields, highways.
• Manufacture of ready-mixed concrete, concrete products (slabs, rings, curbs, slabs).

Modern concrete mixing plants have the following advantages:

• Significant reduction in the complexity of the process of making mortar.
• the Ability to automate the manufacturing process of the mixtures.
• No loss of raw materials, their economical use.

the Exact proportions of sources required to obtain quality concrete.

• High efficiency equipment and its performance.
• Shortest possible terms of installation and commissioning works.

Selection of concrete mixing equipment

Production concrete plants offers a wide variety of installations for mixing solutions. When selecting such a device you should consider the following options:

• the value of the energy costs for the operation of the equipment.
• Maximum capacity working capacity.
• price of the unit.

the Performance of a concrete plant is an important selection criterion. It needs to be determined depending on requirements of the client object in the concrete.

Types of concrete mixing plants

this equipment is subdivided into types according to the following factors:

• Portability. Concrete mixers may be mobile or stationary. There are also semi-permanent model.
• Temperature application. The plants are summer (used only in the warm season) and all-season (can be used year-round because equipped with a special system of heated materials).
• Performance. This criterion determines the maximum number of prepared concrete per hour. Concrete mixers according to this criterion are divided into high, average power, and mini-setup.
• Degree of automation. This parameter determines the ability of equipment to operate independently without human intervention.
• the Principle of mixing ingredients. Concrete mixers according to this criterion are divided into gravity and forced action.
