How Does a Concrete Batch Plant Work

How does a concrete batch plant work is about the working principle of the concrete batching plant equipment. Workflow of concrete batch plant: Various raw materials (such as cement, sand, stone, water, etc.) are added into the concrete mixer through the measuring device according to the set proportion. Inside the concrete mixer, the raw materials are mixed with water, which is fully mixed and crushed through the high-speed rotating mixing blades to make the concrete uniform and consistent. While mixing, the concrete mixer conveys the mixed concrete into the concrete transit mixer truck so that the concrete can be transported to the construction site.

To know more about how does a concrete batch plant work, we should understand the composition of concrete batching plant equipment.

Batching system:

The batching system is an important part of the concrete batching plant, and its main work is to batch the raw materials according to a certain proportion, and then send the batching to the mixer for mixing through the conveyor belt. Commonly used raw materials are water, cement, sand, stone, fly ash and so on. The batching system mainly includes cement tank, screw conveyor, weighing sensor, powder bin and so on.

Mixing system:

The mixing system is the most core part of the concrete batch plant, and its working principle is to mix the raw materials evenly so as to generate high-quality concrete. The mixing system is mainly composed of mixer, gear box, electric motor and so on. There are two types of mixers: forced and free type, the forced type has better mixing effect and shorter mixing time, but the price is higher.

It should be noted that how does a concrete batch plant work may vary slightly according to the specific equipment model, usage and other factors, but the overall principle is based on the above steps.
