Concrete batching plant, as an important construction equipment for concrete production, has been playing an important role in our life since its appearance. According to different classification standards, there are different types of concrete batching plant.
Different Types of Concrete Production Plant
According to the feeding mode, mobility, time-saving, automation, as well as purpose, the concrete batching plant can be classified as skip hopper batching plant and belt batching plant, stationary batching plant and mobile batching plant, dry batching plant and wet batching plant, automatic batching plant and semi-automatic plant, commercial concrete plant, central mix concrete plant, as well as ready mixed concrete batching plant.

Hopper Batching Plant VS. Commercial/Belt Batching Plant
Skip hopper concrete batching plant
Hopper batching plant is defined according to concrete feeding method and its structure. The hopper plant is fed by bucket lifting rather than belt conveyor. Hopper feeding is widely used in HZS25, HZS35, HZS50 and HZS75. The hopper batching plant has the characteristics of small size, simple and convenient installation, low requirements for terrain and easy operation.

Low Requirements for Terrain
Simple Operation
Besides, the mixing cycle of each batch in the hopper batching plant is 72 seconds. The hopper feeding time is slow and the mixing cycle is long. It can product 50 tank cement. It is mainly used in the industrial concrete mixing plant where the temporary production requires an error of ± 2% for concrete. The industrial mixing plant mentioned above is called the engineering batch plant. In this type of batching plant, the batching machine is generally cumulative metering. There are three types of batching machines such as two bin, three bin and four bin. The batching is carried out by means of intermediate discharge.
Commercial concrete batching plant
The commercial concrete mixing plants mainly refers to the belt types of concrete batching plant. Belt types of concrete batching plant refers to the batching plants that use inclined belt conveyor rather than hopper elevator for feeding. Inclined belt feeding is applied to HZS60, HZS90, HZS120, HZS240 and above. Inclined belt feeding has the advantages of stable transportation, accurate batching and high work efficiency. The mixing period of the belt plant is very short. The mixing time of each batch is 60 seconds, and 60 cans of cement can be produced per hour. It is mainly used in commercial concrete batching plants.

Accurate Batching
High Efficiency
Good Performance
The plant is composed of a single four bin batching machine ( HZS60 has also used a four bin batching machine with through belt metering due to cost problems), an inclined belt conveyor, a waiting bin, weighing on the upper part of the main machine (cement, water, additives, etc.), a mixer, a cement screw, and a cement bin. In such plants, the unloading height of the main machine is generally 4.2 meters, the cement screw length is 8 meters according to the center distance from the inlet to the outlet, and the unloading height of the supporting cement silo is 7.4 meters. The quantity of cement screw and silo can be provided by the customer according to the demand.
Stationary Batching Plant VS. Mobile Batching Plant
Stationary Batching Plant
Stationary types of concrete batching plant refer to the batching plants that are fixed in one place for a long time to produce concrete. The stationary mixing station is close to the construction sites, and the construction sites around it are often concentrated. In addition, the stationary mixing plant can produce concrete in large quantities with high quality.
However, it should be noted that the stationary plant needs to lay the foundation, which is also an important reason for its higher cost than other types of concrete batching plant with the same configuration. It is featured by large output, high efficiency and high stability. The stationary batching plant are widely used in various projects such as roads and bridges, ports, tunnels, dams and buildings.
Mobile Batching Plant
The mobile batching plant, also named portable batching plant, is one of frequently used types of concrete batching plant and it is developed on the basis of stationary batching plant. It concentrates the material storage, weighing, conveying, mixing, unloading and full-automatic control system of the concrete plant on the semi-trailer unit, with compact structure and good overall performance.
On the premise of meeting the output and quality of cement concrete mixing, it has the characteristics of flexible movement, rapid disassembly and assembly, small floor area. It allows the user to batch concrete at almost any location, then move to another location and batch concrete. It is applicable to various outdoor mobile sites such as roads, bridges, dams, airports, etc.
Dry Batching Plant VS. Wet Batching Plant
Dry Concrete Batching Plant
Dry Batching PlantDry types of concrete batching plant, also known as transit mixing plants, weigh sand, gravel and cement in weighing batching machine through electronic induction or manual scale. Then, all ingredients are discharged into the chute, and then discharged into the mixing tank truck through the chute. At the same time, the water is weighed or volume measured, and the water is discharged into the mixing tank truck through the same feeding tank.
During transportation to the construction site by the mixing tank truck, these ingredients are mixed for at least 70 to 100 revolutions. Compared with the common concrete plant, the dry batching plant has no main mixer and the process of mixing is finished in the mixing tank truck. Due to no main mixer, its cost is fairly low among the types of concrete batching plant.
Wet Concrete Batching Plant
Wet concrete batching plant, as one of commonly-used types of concrete batching plant, is used for most of the construction sites. Compared with the dry concrete mixing station, the wet concrete plant is equipped with a mixer, and the whole production process of concrete from feeding and batching to discharging finished materials is carried out in the whole batching plant.
Wet types of concrete batching plant can manufacture premium concrete due to it typically adopts twin shaft mixer, planetary mixer, or SICOMA twin shaft forced concrete mixer as the blending main engine. They are featured by high efficiency and good quality, dependable performance, and financial investment as well as long service life. They are widely used in medium-sized construction sites, prefabrication plants, commercial concrete production plants and many other concrete construction projects.
Automatic Batching Plant VS. Semi-automatic Batching Plant
Automatic Batching Plant
For the automatic types of concrete batching plant, the whole process from the feeding of ingredients to the automatic unloading of the mixer are fully automatic under the effect of computer and control panel. The control panel can operate the whole device by press several buttons. The modern control panel can store a variety of recipes according to customers’ requirements. The weighing of all ingredients is completed automatically. Once the specified weight is reached, the finished materials will be discharged immediately. The automatic batching plant can set the batch time of the materials and discharge the mixed materials immediately after the mixing time is finished.
Semi-automatic Batching Plant
The configuration of semi-automatic mixing plant allows some functions to be executed automatically, while others require manual intervention. Generally it refers to the small types of concrete batching plant. Differentiated from the automatic batching plant, the semi-automatic batching plant is only equipped with automatic batching device control panel and it’s a small-scale mixing plant with a weighing sensor, but the feeding is carried out manually, and manual intervention is required to stop the feeding. What’s more, the operator need to monitor the working condition all the time. As soon as the required weight is fed into the hopper, the indicator light will flash and the worker must stop feeding.
