Part-4: Batching Plant (Model-H3N Capacity : 120M3/Hr ) Commissioning basic concept | Ready Mixed Concrete (RMC)
A concrete plant, also known as a batch plant or batching plant or a concrete batching plant, is equipment that combines various ingredients to form concrete. Some of these inputs include water, air, admixtures, sand, aggregate (rocks, gravel, etc.), fly ash, silica fume, slag, and cement.
Concrete batching plant is used to mix and blend cement, water, sand and aggregates to form quality concrete without which building any construction project is not possible. It becomes necessary that the concrete batching plant is efficient and speedy in order to complete a construction project as soon as possible.
Type of Batching Plant:
1. Random Volumetric Batching of Concrete.
2. Proper Volumetric Batching of Concrete.
3. Weigh Batching of Concrete.
4. Manual Weigh Batching.
5. Semi-Automatic Weigh Batching.
6. Fully Automatic Weigh Batching.
The aggregate batcher also named as aggregate bins, is used for storage and batch the sand, gravel and crushed stone of the concrete plant. There are also many types of aggregate batchers, but most of them measured aggregate by weighing, some use the weighing hopper, some use the weighing belt.
The cement silos are an indispensable device in the production of concrete. It mainly stores bulk cement, fly ash, mineral powder and others. There are 3 types of cement silos, bolted cement silos, Horizontal cement silos and integrated cement silos. Integrated cement silos made in factory, it can be used directly. Bolted cement silo bolted for easy installation and removal. Horizontal cement silos have lower requirements on foundations and can be transported by truck or flatbed without disassembly.
Cement Silos:
The screw conveyor is a machine to transfer the materials from the cement silos to the powder weighing hopper.
Screw Conveyor:
Concrete plant use the control system to control the working of the machine. concrete batch plants employ computer aided control to assist in fast and accurate measurement of input constituents or ingredients. With concrete performance so dependent on accurate water measurement, systems often use digital scales for cementitious materials and aggregates, and moisture probes to measure aggregate water content as it enters the aggregate batcher to automatically compensate for the mix design water/cement ratio target. Many producers find moisture probes work well only in sand, and with marginal results on larger sized aggregate.
