We will customize a suitable mining or concrete solution for you.
How Does A Concrete Batching Plant Work?
What are the operations of concrete plant?
How do you manage batching plants?
Briefly, measure materials such as aggregates, cement, water and additives, mix them in an accurate proportion to produce high-quality concrete, and then transport the final mixture to the construction site by means of the conveying system.
Step1: Feed Aggregates
Transport aggregates such as sand, crushed stone via a conveyor belt or hopper to a precision metering device, where they are accurately measured based on a preset proportion before being directed to the mixer.
Step 2: Add Filler
Deliver filler such as cement or fly ash to the filler metering unit by screw conveyor or pneumatic conveying system, and then add it to the mixer after accurate metering.
Step 3: Feed Water and Additives
The water/additive feed system delivers water and additives (such as water reducers and retarders) as appropriate to the mixer, in accordance with the performance requirements of the concrete.
Step 4: Mix
Upon activation of the mixing system, the rotation of the mixing blades thoroughly mixes aggregates, cement, water, and additives to form homogeneous concrete.
Step 5: Transport and Pour
After mixing is completed, finished concrete will be sent to the pouring site for construction by a delivery pump or mixer trucks.
Step 6: Clean and Maintain
After each production, clean and maintain the portable batching plant to ensure it remains clean and in optimal condition, thereby priming it for subsequent production.
