Concrete Batch Mix Plant Price

The concrete batch mix plant price is influenced by multiple factors, including type, configuration, production capacity, market factors and additional services.

I. Price Range and Key Influencing Factors

1. Type and Capacity Classification

- Mobile concrete batching plants

Suitable for small-scale projects and easy transportation, they typically range in price from $25,000 to $70,000 (e.g., the YHZS25 model, with a production capacity of 25 m³/h). For example, one supplier quotes a JS500 mixer for $15,000 to $30,000, and when equipped with a PLD1200 batching machine, the total price is approximately $30,000 to $50,000.

- Stationary concrete batching plants

Featuring higher production capacity and complex structures, they have a wide price range:

Small (HZS35-HZS50): 35-50 m³/h, priced from $80,000 to $150,000 (including the JS1000 mixer, PLD1600 batching machine, and basic control system).

Medium-sized (HZS90-HZS120): Capacity of 90-120 m³/h, with a mainstream price range of US$250,000-450,000. For example, an HZS90 equipped with a JS1500 mixer, fully automatic PLC control, and three 80-ton cement silos has a total price of approximately US$320,000-400,000.

Large-sized (HZS180-HZS240): Capacity of 180-240 m³/h, with a price range of US$500,000-800,000. These units require a modular design and synchronized dual-unit operation.

2. Configuration Differences and Cost Structure

- Core Components

The mixer accounts for 30%-40% of the total equipment price. For example, the price of SICOMA MAO3000 concrete mixer is 30% higher than that of a domestically produced equivalent, at approximately US$150,000-200,000.

- Level of Automation

Fully automatic control systems (including ERP networking) are 15%-20% more expensive than semi-automatic systems. Taking the HZS90 concrete batching plant as an example, the fully automatic configuration adds approximately $50,000 to $80,000 in costs.

- Environmental upgrades

Environmental protection equipment such as enclosed silos, pulse dust collectors, and wastewater recovery systems add 10%-15% to the total price. For example, the environmentally friendly model of the HZS90 is priced at $420,000, $70,000 more than the standard model.

3. Market Factors and Additional Costs

- Transportation Costs

Ocean freight accounts for 10%-20% of the total price. For example, from China to Europe, the freight cost for a 20-foot container is approximately $5,000-7,000. The HZS90 requires four to six containers, for a total cost of approximately $20,000-42,000.

- Certification Costs

CE certification (Europe) costs approximately €3,000-5,000 (RMB 23,000-38,000), and Egyptian COC certification (Africa) costs approximately $500-5,000, depending on the testing requirements. Tariffs and Taxes

The EU imposes a 3%-5% import tariff on concrete machinery. After the US imposes a 25% Section 301 tariff, the total tariff rate can reach 28%-30%.

II. Typical Model Price Examples

1. Mobile concrete batching Plant

Model: YHZS25

Capacity: 25m³/h, equipped with a JS500 mixer and a PLD1200 two-bin batcher.

Price: $32,000-45,000 FOB Qingdao.

Adding a four-bin batcher increases the price by $20,000.

Model: MHZ60 Foundation-Free Plant

Fully automatic mobile concrete batching plant with a capacity of 60m³/h and a hydraulic unloading system.

Price: $180,000-220,000 FOB Shanghai.

Suitable for infrastructure projects in the Middle East.

2. Stationary concrete batching plant

Model: HZS90

Standard Configuration: JS1500 mixer, PLD2400 four-bin batching machine, three 80-ton cement silos, FOB Tianjin price: $350,000-400,000.

High-end configuration: Adds a closed aggregate silo, wastewater recovery system, and fully automated ERP control, raising the price to $480,000-550,000.

Model: HZS180

180m³/h capacity, JS3000 mixer, PLD4800 batching machine, and four 200-ton cement silos, FOB Shenzhen price: $650,000-750,000. This is commonly used in large commercial concrete mixing plants in Southeast Asia.

III. Procurement Strategy

- Clear Requirements:

Select production capacity based on the project scale to avoid over-configuration. For example, a small rural project can choose the HZS35 (35m³/h capacity), priced at approximately $120,000, rather than the HZS50.

- Comparing suppliers:

China concrete batching plant manufacturers offer prices 30%-50% lower than European suppliers. For example, for the same HZS90 configuration, a European manufacturer quotes $600,000, while a Chinese supplier only charges $350,000-400,000.

- Additional services: Installation and commissioning fees typically account for 5%-8% of the total price. It's recommended to choose a supplier that includes one year of free maintenance, which can save approximately $20,000-30,000.

In summary, the concrete batch mix plant price depends on a comprehensive consideration of equipment configuration, transportation costs, certification requirements, and market fluctuations. Compare prices across multiple channels and choose a supplier with export qualifications and a strong after-sales service network to maximize cost-effectiveness.
