Importance Of Concrete Batching Plant For Your Construction Project

The construction industry is growing by leaps and bounds across the globe. However, the most prominent challenge civil engineers and builders face is preparing ready-mix concrete at the construction site, which generally takes a lot of time; since they cannot afford to delay the project, concrete batching plants are finding their way to provide ready-mix concrete efficiently.

The demand for concrete batching plants is vital as it delivers superior quality concrete for your project. Concrete's strength, durability and efficiency make the concrete batching plant very popular. It is effortless to pour fresh raw materials into the machine, and once it is ready, it will take the shape of the mould in which it is placed.

If you are searching for a quick fix that helps you finish your project on time, getting a concrete batching plant from RMS Skip is a perfect option! Here is a short guide to concrete batching plants, the types of machinery, the operating procedure and their benefits.

What Is A Concrete Mix Plant?

A concrete mixing plant is a machine that produces ready-mix concrete. It is also known as a concrete batching plant. Production of concrete is set as per the mix material recipe. The concrete is controlled in the plant and gets delivered to your site. A concrete batching and mixing plant combines multiple ingredients to make ready-mix concrete. These ingredients include aggregates, water, sand, additives and cement. The mixing time is customised as per your requirement.

Types Of Concrete Batching Plant

There are two categories of concrete batching plants - ready-mix and central mixing.

Ready-mix Concrete Mixer

Ready-mix concrete is produced at the manufacturing plant. All the required ingredients except water are mixed before it reaches your site. Material is then discharged into a concrete truck known as a transit mixer. The mixer takes the material to the construction site and adds water to the dry mix.

Central Mix Plant

Central mix plant mixes all the required ingredients, including water, at the plant. The material is discharged into a transit mixer or a that transfers the concrete to the work site. This plant has components such as bins, weight scales, control panels, silos and conveyors.

Configuration Of Concrete Batching Plant

Concrete batching plants provide higher productivity compared to conventional concrete plants. For example, if your project requires concrete at a rate of 50 cubic meters per hour, you must select a batching plant accordingly. It would be beneficial to keep these aspects in mind before hiring a concrete batching plant from RMS Concrete. We assist you with your residential and commercial concrete needs and construction projects.

Operating Procedure

Concrete batching plants are made to quickly achieve high-quality concrete in the correct quantity. The concrete plant functions precisely and delivers a precise amount of concrete mix. It helps your project to accomplish a pre-decided timeline.

The load cells weigh the necessary amount of materials and transfer them to the mixing unit with the help of a material transfer system. The material is mixed in the mixing chamber for a specific time to achieve the desired output.

The primary parts of the concrete plants are weighing units for various materials, conveying systems, mixing units, control panels, material storage systems and other optional components. Cement is used as a binding material for mixing sand, aggregates, water and other additives to deliver the concrete that is used immediately for the construction work. The need for concrete batching plants is constantly increasing in civil construction projects. Thus, the superior quality of concrete plants, such as mobile concrete batching plants and compact concrete plants, has become an essential aspect for the manufacturer.

Importance Of Batching Plant

Choosing a suitable concrete batching plant is the fundamental requirement to finish the project successfully. The capacity of the mixing plant is measured in cubic per hour. The ability of a plant depends on various factors. Additionally, time-related factors such as each mixer's charging, mixing and discharge time are also important.

The primary purpose of a concrete batching and mixing plant is to produce homogeneous and uniform concrete, and RMS Concrete provides quality concrete, which is required and set in the control panel. Our concrete plant delivers consistent concrete in all batches in the same proportions.

One of the essential functions of our equipment is to coat the aggregate with cement. It also blends all the ingredients set to form a homogeneous quality. We use aggregates that must be mixed and coated consistently with cement and water. Sometimes, additives are also added.

Benefits Of Concrete Batching Plant

Besides the timely delivery and availability of the concrete mixes, there are some other benefits of using a concrete batching plant for your construction project -

Compact Size

It takes less space at the construction site, and because of this quality, it is easier to transport it from one construction site to the other.

Easy Operation

The concrete batching plant is controlled manually and automatically; this allows you to customise the mix per your requirements. The manual machine interface and industrial computer framework make the operation straightforward.

High Mixing Execution

Mixing quality and high production effectiveness result from two-fold shaft forced concrete type mixers of a concrete batching plant. For mixing dry concrete, half-dry hard concrete, plastic concrete and a variation in cement ratio are combined to deliver an excellent quality concrete mix.

High Degree Automation

High-degree automation includes a wide range of concrete batching plants' industrial computer control framework, which is controlled manually and automatically. It makes the operation easy and smooth. The control room has an air conditioner to ensure the electrical component remains long-lasting and works efficiently. Surveillance cameras are also installed close to the opening of the machine.

Superior Quality

The mixing blades of the concrete mixer have a unique wear-safe alloy material, which enhances the dependability of the host mixing machine.
