The selection and installation norms of concrete batching plants

The selection and installation norms of concrete mixing plants must follow certain principles to ensure the normal operation. So, how to choose a suitable concrete mixing plant?


1. Performance grade of construction concrete; From this, choose what kind of mixing host to use. For water conservancy projects, a forced mixing host must be selected. In addition, batching stations and storage bins should be selected according to the types of concrete materials that can be mixed.

2. The workload and duration of concrete construction; Use these two parameters to choose which size of mixing plant to use. Let the total task quantity of concrete be M; The duration of concrete pouring is T; The number of working hours per day is H; If the utilization coefficient is K, the specification of the mixing plant should be X=M/T * H * K, where K is 0.7-0.9. In the selection process, the transportation condition of the finished concrete should also be considered. For example, is it direct pumping or vehicle transportation. The volume of the conveying vehicle is also an important basis for determining the type of mixing plant.

3. Construction environment and construction objects; When choosing to purchase a concrete mixing plant, the impact of the construction object and construction environment should be fully considered to ensure smooth construction and construction quality. We suggest that you be prepared in the following situations.

a、 When the construction site requires a large amount of one-time pouring (more than 12 hours of optional mixing), with high quality requirements, and there are no nearby reinforcement mixing plants, it is best to choose two smaller mixing plants or a dual machine configuration with one main and one auxiliary.

b、 When the transportation on the construction site is inconvenient and maintenance personnel need to spend a lot of time entering and leaving the site, it is best to choose a dual machine station with the same smaller specifications or prepare sufficient spare parts to ensure smooth construction progress.

c、 When the construction site is relatively scattered but the distance between construction sites is not too far, the conveying radius of concrete trucks should not exceed half an hour's drive, and the conveying radius of dump trucks should not exceed 10 minutes' drive. It is best to use multiple job numbers for centralized mixing to improve the utilization rate and construction economic benefits of the concrete mixing plant.

4. Operator quality; Generally speaking, small concrete mixing plants have simpler structures and control systems. Originally, the requirements for operation and maintenance personnel were relatively low. However, larger stations have complex structures and high levels of automation, so they also have higher requirements for operators. So when purchasing a concrete mixing plant, in addition to considering the previous factors, you should also consider this factor.

5. Configuration selection; In general, manufacturers have mature product formulations, such as specifications, quantities, varieties, etc. You can make special requests when placing an order for the product, and we will do our best to meet your requirements.
