Different Types of Concrete Batching Plant

There are many different types of concrete batching plant in the market, which can be divided into many types according to different classification standards.

First of all, according to the way of equipment, concrete batching plant can be divided into two categories: fixed type and mobile type. Fixed concrete batching plant is also known as stationary concrete batching plant, usually include components such as mixing mainframe, batching silo, control room, cement silo, screw conveyor and conveyor belt, while mobile concrete batching plants are more flexible, including drum-type or JS forced-type concrete batching plants, which can be conveniently lifted or dragged to the construction site.

Secondly, according to the mixing method, different types of concrete batching plant can be categorized into self-falling and forced. The self-fall concrete batching plant utilizes dumping and falling to mix the materials, which is suitable for concrete with good fluidity, simple structure and low manufacturing cost. On the other hand, forced concrete batching plant utilizes rotating mixing blades to mix the materials forcibly, which is suitable for concrete with various fluidity and compactness, and has higher mixing efficiency.

In addition, according to the production process, the different types of batching plant can be divided into continuous type and cycle type. Continuous type concrete mixing plant mixes through continuous material conveying and mixing, which is suitable for large-scale and continuous production of concrete production with high production efficiency. Cyclic concrete batching plant mixes according to a set cycle, which is suitable for small and medium-scale concrete production.

Furthermore, from the point of view of weighing method, concrete batching plant can be divided into two types: individual weighing and cumulative weighing.

From the aspect of mixing with water or not, different types of concrete batching plant can be listed as dry mix concrete batching plant and wet mix concrete batching plant, as the name suggest, dry mix means mix without water, even without a concrete mixer, while the wet type is with water.

Finally, according to the capacity of the equipment, the concrete batching plant can be divided into three types: small, medium and large. Concrete batching plants with different capacities are suitable for building projects and construction teams of different scales.

To summarize, there are various different types of concrete batching plant in the market, and users need to make comprehensive considerations according to their own projects, such as project size, duration time, requirements for concrete and other factors, in order to choose the most suitable type.
