Critical Components of Stationary Concrete Batching Plants
A stationary concrete batching plant consists of five main systems: the mixing system, storage system, conveying system, weighing system, and control system. Let me introduce the detailed components of each system one by one.
In stationary concrete mixing plants, we adopt the JS series twin shaft concrete mixer as the mixing console.
JS series concrete mixer is composed of a feeding system, mixing system, discharging system, water supply system, and electrical control system.
The smart design of the Aimix JS mixer, with its unique spiral blades and seals, uses less energy and hardly makes any mess.
The storage system of stationary concrete batching machine helps keep materials organized.
- Aggregate bins are big containers for storing different kinds of small rocks and sand needed for the concrete.
- Cement Silos are tall tanks that hold the cement powder. Cement silos store bulk cement for construction projects like buildings, roads, bridges, and water projects. They also hold cement in stationary concrete plants. The top has a dust collector to stop leaks. The bottom has an arch breaker to prevent clumps and ensure smooth discharge.
You can choose conveyor belts or hoppers for the transportation of aggregates.
- Using hopper: Simple structure and less space occupation, the cost is low, and it has less application in large stationary concrete batching plant solutions.
- Using belt: High working productivity, long conveying distance, stable performance, low maintenance cost and it is easy to close and will not be limited by weather conditions.
The screw conveyor is used to convey the cement and fly ash to the weighing hopper. It is a conveying equipment and it has a wide application in departments of chemical engineering, building materials, and grain.
Before mixing, aggregates are weighed in the batcher through separate weighing or accumulative weighing.
The powder, additive, and water also get weighed precisely with electronic scales that work based on leverage, ensuring the mix is just perfect. The weighing system of aimix ready mix concrete equipment is accurate.
Aimix provides a fully automatic control system: PLC with a computer, it can print all kinds of report forms and display the details.
The system makes sure everything is mixed precisely and keeps track of all the mixing details of the automatic batching plant.
After knowing the main components of the stationary concrete batching plant, next, let’s take a look at how it operates as a whole unit.
Working Steps Of Stationary Concrete Batching Plant
A stationary concrete batching plant is a high-efficiency, reliable system designed to produce large volumes of concrete at a fixed location. Let’s take a closer look at how it works in the concrete production process:
- Aggregate Handling: Aggregates are first sent to the weighing system. Once properly weighed, the proportioned aggregates are transported to the waiting storage bin using either a hopper or belt conveyor.
- Cement and Powder Management: Cement is discharged from the silos into the screw conveyor, which transports the material to the powder weighing hopper. After weighing, the powder is transferred to the mixing console.
- Water and Additive Handling: Water is pumped from the pool to the water weighing hopper, while additives are pumped from their storage to the additive weighing hopper. After weighing, the additives are combined with the water in the water weighing hopper, and the mixture is discharged into the mixing console.
- Mixing Process: The powder and water-additive mixture are added to the mixing console first. Then, the weighed aggregates are introduced, and everything is mixed together. Once the mixing process is complete, the concrete mixture is discharged into a concrete mixer truck, ready for delivery to the construction site.
The first three steps are conducted at the same time, which shortens the construction period effectively.
