Concrete Plant Price Guide: How to Choose the Right Plant for Your Needs？

In order to produce high quality concrete, choosing the right concrete mixing plant is very important for your business. Several types of concrete plant exist in the market which differ in price, features and processes. It is vital to understand the pricing factors of concrete plant and the importance of choosing the right type before making a purchasing decision.

Introduction to Types of Concrete plant

Concrete plant mainly consists of feeder belts, aggregate hoppers, automation systems, cement silos, concrete mixers, aggregate weighing scales and aggregate bins. There are three main types of concrete plants commonly available in the market: mobile concrete plants, stationary concrete plants and compact concrete plants. These plants are designed with different structures and hence their prices will vary according to the type.

Stationary Concrete Mixing Plant

A stationary concrete mixing plant is a type of plant that works in a fixed work area for a long period of time. It usually has a high production capacity and is suitable for companies that require long-term, steady production. A significant advantage of this type of plant is that it is highly productive and can fulfill large-scale concrete needs. However, at the same time, its installation and dismantling process may be more complicated and require certain specialized skills.

The main components of a stationary concrete mixing plant are: mixer, feeding system, metering system, control system, cement silo, screw conveyor and so on. The mixer of stationary concrete mixing plant usually adopts double-shaft forced mixer, which has good mixing effect and strong durability, and is suitable for the production of various kinds of concrete.

Mobile Concrete Batching Plant

Compared with stationary concrete batching plant, mobile concrete plant is a movable plant that can work in different working areas for short periods of time. One of its significant advantages is its flexibility to quickly adapt to different working environments and demands.

The main components of a mobile concrete plant are: mixer, feeding system, metering system, control system, cement silo, trailer chassis and so on. The mixer of mobile concrete plant generally adopts drum mixer, which has simple structure, easy operation, low maintenance cost, and is suitable for small and medium scale concrete production.

Compact Concrete Plant

Compact concrete plant is a kind of concrete production plant between fixed and mobile concrete mixing plant. It has the production capacity of a stationary concrete mixing plant and the portability of a mobile concrete mixing plant. The main components of compact concrete plant are: mixer, feeding system, metering system, control system, cement silo, steel structure support and so on.

The mixer of the compact concrete plant generally adopts twin-shaft forced mixer or vertical shaft planetary mixer, which has good mixing effect and strong durability, and is suitable for the production of various kinds of concrete. Compact concrete plants are characterized by small footprint, quick installation, easy movement, and are suitable for conversion of multiple sites.

Price factor of concrete plant

The price of concrete plant is one of the most important factors that influence the purchasing decision of the user. The price of concrete plant is affected by a variety of factors, mainly the following:

1. the type of concrete plant: generally speaking, the price of stationary concrete plants is higher than that of mobile and compact concrete plants because stationary concrete plants have more complex structures, higher production capacity and higher installation costs.

2. specification of concrete plant: the specification of concrete plant mainly includes the type of mixer, capacity, power, voltage and other parameters. The price of concrete plant with different specifications is different. The more advanced the type of mixer, the larger the capacity, the higher the power, the higher the voltage, the higher the price of the concrete plant.

3. The brand of concrete plant: the brand of concrete plant is an important symbol reflecting the quality, performance, reputation and service of concrete plant. The price of different brands of concrete plant is also different. Generally speaking, the price of concrete plant of well-known brands is higher than that of ordinary brands of concrete plant, because the quality of concrete plant of well-known brands is more guaranteed, the performance is more stable, the reputation is better, and the service is more perfect.

How to choose the right concrete production plant?

When choosing concrete plant, enterprises need to consider their own needs. For enterprises that need long-term stable production and have a large production scale, stationary concrete plant may be a better choice. Whereas for businesses that need to work for short periods of time, or need to change jobs quickly at different locations, mobile concrete plants may be more appropriate. Compact concrete plants, on the other hand, are suitable for businesses that need efficient concrete production in a limited space.

In addition to the type of plant, the manufacturer of the concrete plant is also a factor to consider. Different manufacturers may offer different models of plant at different prices. When purchasing plant, companies need to conduct a thorough investigation of the market, compare the performance, price, after-sales service and other factors of different plant, and choose the most suitable plant for them.
