How concrete batching plants save on building costs

Concrete batching plants of the mobile type are compact in design with hydraulic legs for easy unloading and loading without the use of a crane. They can be installed directly at a construction site and allow for the production of large volumes of high quality concrete exactly where needed.

The use of mobile concrete batching plants lead to big cost savings due to the reduced need for transportation, no cost of a crane to install or to load back on a flat bed truck ready to take to the next project site, no foundation works for set-up and reduced labours involved in the production of concrete. Compact in size means that they are also suited to a number of different types of buildings sites with some models set-up inside tunnels, on difficult to access sites in remote areas or congested city centres.

Mobile concrete batching plants are either of the dry-bin or wet-bin option and mobile or stationary, all of which are designed to produce high quality concrete. Types of concrete produced are used for urban, housing, commercial and street works as well as concrete production for wind plant foundations and dam embankment construction.

Features typical of modern concrete batching plants

  • Produce around 30 to 40m3/hour of concrete with some models producing as much as 60m3/hour,
  • Compact size optimised for transportation even through busy urban areas,
  • Fully automated control systems,
  • Touch-screen management system for complete control of concrete production,
  • Accurate weigh-batching of all components that go into producing specified types of concrete,
  • No foundation required when setting-up on solid, compact ground,
  • No formal site authorisation or planning permission required for setting-up of plant at project site,
  • Minimal management and maintenance costs required.

There has been a growing international demand for concrete batching plants based largely on their compactness, ease of movement, up-to-date operational technology, high quality components and high hourly rate of production. They provide consistently high quality concrete on every load, faster loading of transit concrete mixer trucks and turnaround time plus have a long life span.
