Concrete batch plant is most versatile and unique batch plant used globally.

So, output of
concrete batch plant, executes an important task of road and civil structure with great stability,
resistance, smoothness and an appropriate rigidity. These led to rising usage facilities of concrete
batch plant at various sites in an astonishing way.

This results into an advantages of ready-made concrete such as:

-Decrease in wastage of basic materials
-Increase in concrete quality
-No labor work is mandatory
-Reduction in noise and dust pollution
-No storage space is mandatory for basic materials
-Reduction in required time
1. Advantages.

Commercial concrete mixing and batching plant has such characteristics:

Firstly,strong mixing performance,mixing evenly and quickly and high production efficiency. For
the construction project,
more commercial concrete mixing plants, more convenient to use for you. Compared with buildi
ng a concrete mixing plant
by own, commercial concrete batch plant will save a lot of time in a certain degree and the projec
t time will reduce.
Secondly, there is no need to produce concrete on site which can avoid the environment pollution
and save human labor,
resources and money. More and more projects tend to choose commercial concrete batch plant.

2. Disadvantages.

From the energetic punishment of commercial concrete mixing plant in our country, it can be see
n that many batching
plants work without state-approved license.
Secondly, the raw materials of batching plantare cement, sand and small stones, in the production
process, there will
have a lot of dust emissions into the air to pollute the air which will hide dangers to our health.

Types
A ready mix plant combines all ingredients except for water at the concrete plant. This mixture is
then discharged into a ready mix truck (also known as a concrete transport truck). Water is then
added to the mix in the truck and mixed during transport to the job site.[2]
A central mix plant combines some or all of the above ingredients (including water) at a central
location. The final product is then transported to the job site. Central mix plants differ from ready
mix plants in that they offer the end user a much more consistent product, since all the ingredient
mixing is done in a central location and is computer-assisted to ensure uniformity of product. A
temporary batch plant can be constructed on a large job site.[1] A concrete plant becomes central
mix with the addition of a concrete mixer.[2]
Application
Concrete batching plants are widely used to produce various kinds of concrete including quaking
concrete and hard concrete, suitable for large or medium scale building works, road and bridge
works and precast concrete plants, etc.
More recently is the availability of the mobile concrete batch plant, patented in 1975 by Vincent
Hagan.[3] This innovative device was designed for the production of all types of concrete, mixed
cements, cold regenerations and inertizations of materials mixed with resin additives. The design
includes multiple containers that separately transport all the elements necessary for the
production of concrete, or any other mixture, at the specific job site. In this way, the operator can
produce exactly what he wants, where he wants and in the quantity he wants through the use of
an on-board computer. Once production is started, the various components enter the mixer in the
required doses and the finished mixed product comes out continuously ready for final use. It is
also suitable for the recovery of materials destined for landfill disposal, such as cement mixtures
regenerated from masonry rubble. The mobile batching plant is easy to transport. It can be fixedmounted on a truck, mounted on a truck with tipping box or mounted on an interchangeable
cradle.
Mobile Batch Plant Parts
Mobile batch plants are typically a single unit, made up of a concrete silo, an aggregate bin and
batcher, an aggregate conveyor and the cement batcher, pulled by a tractor. Sometimes a water
batch is included in the unit as well.

Aggregate bins have 3-4 compartments for storage of various sand and aggregate (rocks, gravel,
etc.) sizes. Conveyors are between 24-48 inches wide and carry aggregate from the batcher.[4]
Automation and Control
Modern concrete batch plants (both ready mix and central mix,) employ computer aided control
to assist in fast, accurate measurement of input constituents or ingredients, as well as tie together
the various parts and accessories for coordinated and safe operation. With concrete performance
so dependent on accurate water measurement, systems will often use moisture probes to measure
the amount of water that is part of the aggregate (sand and rock) material while it is being
weighed, and then automatically compensate the mix design water target.
Concrete Plant Manufacturers Bureau
A non-profit association brings together all of the main concrete plant manufacturers on common
matters related to the industry. According to the CPMB's website, "The National Ready Mixed
Concrete Association (NRMCA) endorses the members of the Concrete Plant Manufacturers
Bureau as the preferred providers of concrete plants and associated equipment as providing
quality equipment conforming to the standards and specifications of NRMCAs plant
certification program and the concrete plant manufacturers standards." "The primary function of
the CPMB is to establish minimum standards for rating various components of concrete plants
for the protection and assurance to the user that the plated components of the plants conform to
these Standards."http://www.cpmb.org/about_CPMB.htm
