The performance is highly dependent on the quality of the components. The efficiency and synchronization by which the components work in tandem with each other also matter. Each of the component of a stationary concrete batch mix plant from aggregate bins, weighing system, mixing unit and also the control system – play a vital role in achieving uniform concrete mix and desired output. It is very important that the concrete plant is built with robust structures and advanced automation features – all to ensure precise proportioning of material like cement, sand, aggregates, water and additives.
Major components of stationary concrete batch mix plant
Several integrated components work in tandem to ensure efficient and consistent concrete output. It is important to ensure the proper sync of the components for the quality and required output from the machine. The key components include:
Aggregate feeder bins: They are for storing various types of aggregates into different bins.
Conveyor belts: They transport aggregates from the weighing conveyor to the mixing unit.
Weighing system: We have facility to weight each aggregates separately before they are transferred by a conveyor system. Similarly, water, additives and cement are also weighed separately. Weighing mechanism plays a very important role, the better the weighing system, the quality of the end product is dependent on this.
Cement storage: Cement storage is done into cement silos or into cement hoppers. From the storage facility they are transferred to the weighing units via a screw conveyor mechanism. The cement storage facility can be tailored as per customer’s requirement.
Pneumatic and electrical systems: The pneumatic and electrical system of the plant play a pivotal role in ensuring the timely and accurately opening of all the gates.
Control system: A control room which will manage batching ratios, mixing time and not to mention the overall operation of the plant. It also helps to get the required reports related to the job done by the machine. Most of the modern batching plants allow the operator to have error reports displayed on the system screen. It makes troubleshooting easy. Control room and understanding of the software is very critical to the success of the equipment.
Mixing unit: This is the heart of the machine be it stationary or a mobile batch mixing plant. It’s job is to ensure that all the items are homogeneously blended to make quality ready mix concrete. The quality of the liner plates, and even the mixing blades make a long difference in the mixing quality of the concrete. Modern mixing units should be equipped with auto lubrication system to reduce the operator fatigue.
Production of high quality and timely production of concrete is very important for the success of any machine. In today’s time, a batching plant performance can affect the success of a project. So it is important to ensure timely maintenance and upgrades of the same. We are quality manufacturers and exporters of batching mixing plant from India. Contact us with your requirement.
Some more information:
How does a stationary concrete batch mix plant differ from a mobile plant?
Stationary batch mix plants are designed for high production while stationed at a single place. On the other hand, a mobile plant will be design and adapted to move frequently. Stationary plants are often offering higher production capacities compared to mobile plants.
Why is accurate weighing important in a stationary batching plant?
Accurate weighing is important as it is the only factor which determines the quality of a ready mix concrete. With accurate weighing only it is possible to achieve the required strength, durability and the desired consistency of concrete.
