Fixed Concrete Batching Plants

Fixed concrete batching plants; It is used to mix components such as sand, stone and cement by combining them with water and to manufacture concrete. When we look at the equipment that makes up these systems that mix the materials used in concrete production, these are; feeding band, concrete beater, aggregate bunker, aggregate weigher, aggregate bucket and cement silo.

There are many different concrete batching plants and stationary concrete batching plants are used in larger projects for a long time. Different concrete batching plants can be preferred for shorter projects. Stationary concrete batching plants, which minimize the work to be done on site during the installation of the concrete plant, consist of two parts, the main chassis and the aggregate bunker, and are easily installed. Thanks to its structure, it makes loading easier.

Fixed Concrete Batching Plant: Automation Systems

By using the automation system in the facility where the production will be made, operations such as dosing, process monitoring, production reporting, order management, production planning, stock control, truck scales, quality control, truck scales can be performed automatically. Various concrete mixture formulas are loaded into the system in line with the desired properties and automatic dosing is provided by these automation systems.

In automatic dosing, the production command is given after the concrete mixture formulas are loaded into the system, and in this way, materials such as cement, aggregate, additives and mixing water in the required amount according to the desired mixture formula are automatically weighed and mixed.

Fixed Concrete Batching Plant and Other Vehicles

The transmixer in the stationary concrete plant is a truck-like vehicle used to transport the fresh concrete to the desired location without deterioration. Due to its ready-mixed concrete structure, if it is not used within two hours, it may deteriorate. The transmixer used to prevent this situation is one of the indispensable tools in ready-mixed concrete plants.

Ancillary vehicles used in ready-mixed concrete plants other than the stationary concrete batching plant, transmixer and automation systems are production vehicles such as pumps and vibration. A pump is used to transfer the concrete material to the mold without pouring it, and a vibration system is used to fill the air spaces of the concrete after it is poured into the mold. It is essential to use such tools in order to produce high quality ready mixed concrete.

Types of Fixed Concrete Batching Plants

Fixed concrete batching plants, which are systems that provide high production capacity in long-term projects, are used for production in a certain area.

High efficiency can be achieved with these concrete batching plants, which offer comfortable usage areas, especially in large areas. It should also be taken into account that it is not possible to relocate them like other concrete batching plants. Fixed concrete batching plants require site layout.

There are 4 different models in fixed concrete batching plants: 60 cubic meters, 100 cubic meters, 120 cubic meters and 160 cubic meters. Stationary concrete batching plants, which differ in mixing type, mixer capacity, cement silo, cement spiral, engine power and water weighing capacity, are used for different needs.

Technicial Specification by Types

In its model, which has a production capacity of 60 cubic meters per hour from stationary concrete plants, it can carry up to 40 tons of cement without a silo. Total engine power is 130 kW and electric generator requirement is 200 kW. Mixer options include single-shaft, double-shaft and planetary mixers. The area required to operate this stationary concrete plant is 700 square meters. Single shaft mixers are used to ensure the required homogeneity and workability in modern concrete mixtures. Single shaft mixers, which are resistant to abrasion thanks to their special alloys, can also be used in different applications such as grinding concrete mix, coal or other mines.
