Types Of Ready Mix Concrete Batching Plant
AIMIX offers two main types of ready mix concrete batching plants—stationary and mobile—to meet the diverse needs of different construction projects. In this section, we’ll explore the key features and advantages of each type.
Stationary Ready Mix Concrete Plant – High Capacity, Fixed Installations
We offer two types of stationary ready mix concrete batching plants based on the feeding method: Hopper Type and Belt Type. The hopper type ready-mixed concrete plants include AJ-25, AJ-35, AJ-50 and AJ-75, and the belt type readymix concrete batch plants mainly consist of AJ-60, AJ-90, AJ-120, and AJ-180.
Hopper-type ready mix plant
Enhanced durability and strength: The track wheels are produced through a forging process, resulting in superior strength and excellent wear resistance. This method reduces maintenance costs significantly. Compared to traditional casting, forging increases the material’s strength by about 30%, making the wheels more durable under heavy-duty use.
Compact design with space savings: With a feed height of 7.5 meters and a bucket angle of 60°, the design reduces plant length by 18 meters compared to conventional belt-type systems. For example, a 50m³/h hopper-type stationary batch plant has a horizontal batching distance of just 6.2 meters, while a 60m³/h belt-type plant requires 37.2 meters—saving nearly 30 meters of space on-site.
Belt-type ready mixed plant
Efficient aggregate conveying: Aggregate is delivered using a belt conveyor system that ensures smooth, continuous operation with high transport efficiency. This reduces both downtime and maintenance costs. For example, an 800mm-wide belt conveyor can handle 450–650 tons per hour, while a 1000mm-wide belt running at 2.5 m/s can deliver up to 1000 tons per hour.
High-precision weighing system: The aggregate weighing system provides accurate and consistent batching, ensuring reliable concrete quality for demanding, large-scale construction projects. The system achieves a weighing precision of up to ±2%, supporting stable and continuous concrete production.
Mobile Concrete Ready Mix Plant – Portability and Rapid Deployment
Mobile type rmc plant is actually in a semi-trailer unit, which is very convenient to move from one site to another site. It is suitable for short-term construction project. If you have many projects to do, and they are near from each other, mobile type concrete plant will be your ideal choice.
