Ready Mixed Concrete Plant

A ready-mixed concrete plant is a specialized concrete production facility that supplies high-quality concrete to a variety of construction projects in urban areas. A ready-mixed concrete plant consists of a variety of equipment that mixes sand, gravel, cement, and other materials in a certain proportion to form a homogeneous concrete mixture, which is then transported to the project site by a concrete mixer. With the features of high efficiency, energy saving, environmental protection and durability, ready-mixed concrete plants provide reliable concrete production solutions for the construction industry.

Components of a ready-mixed concrete plant

A ready-mixed concrete plant consists of a variety of equipment that works together to mix raw materials such as sand, gravel and cement to make concrete. The main equipment includes: mixer, automatic control system, aggregate silo, cement silo, feeder, weighing conveyor, dust collector, heater, cooler and so on. Enterprises should consider the capacity of the mixing plant to match their own needs when purchasing.

- Concrete mixer is the core component of ready-mixed concrete plant, which is responsible for mixing the concrete mixture and conveying it to the project site. The types of concrete mixers are double-shaft forced, single-shaft free-standing, pan-type, etc. Different types are suitable for different concrete types and strength levels.

- The automation system is the control center of the ready-mixed concrete plant, which is responsible for monitoring, regulating and controlling all aspects of concrete production to ensure the quality and quantity of concrete. The functions of the automation system are batching, weighing, mixing, conveying, storing and unloading, etc., which can be realized in fully automatic or semi-automatic operation mode.

- Aggregate drum is the storage component of ready-mixed concrete plant, which is responsible for categorizing and storing aggregates (e.g. sand, gravel, stone, etc.) purchased from mines or quarries for concrete production. Aggregate bins have capacities and silos depending on different concrete ratios and production capacities, usually between 50 cubic meters and 200 cubic meters, and between 4 and 12.

- Cement silos are storage components of ready-mixed concrete plants, which are responsible for sealing and storing bulk cement for concrete production. The capacity and number of cement silos vary depending on the different concrete ratios and production capacity, usually between 50 and 200 tons, between 1 and 4.

- The loading belt is the conveying component of a ready-mixed concrete plant, which is responsible for transporting aggregates from the aggregate drums to the aggregate silos for weighing and batching. Types of loading belts are belt conveyors, bucket elevators, etc. Different types are suitable for different aggregate sizes and conveying distances.

- Aggregate silo is the batching component of ready-mixed concrete plant, which is responsible for weighing and batching the aggregates accurately according to the requirements of concrete proportioning for mixing. The capacity and number of aggregate silos vary according to different concrete ratios and production capacities, usually between 10 cubic meters and 50 cubic meters, and between 2 and 4.

Working Principle of Ready Mix Concrete Batching Plant

Whether it is a mobile or stationary concrete mixing plant, the working principle is basically the same. First, aggregate and sand are put into the feed hopper, and powder (cement, fly ash, etc.) is transported to the weighing hopper via a conveyor. Substances such as water and cement are poured into the mixture from the weighing hopper on the mixer and finally water is pumped through. This process ensures the homogeneity and quality of the concrete.
