Concrete mixing plant , also known as Concrete Plant , is a technological complex that combines units, the result of which is a concrete mix , the curing of which forms concrete . Concrete components are sand, water, crushed stone (less commonly gravel), and cement and additives.
The structure of the concrete mixing plant may include mixers, tilt-up devices, dispensers , conveyors , stackers , bunkers , heaters, coolers, dust collectors.
The main node of the concrete mixing plant is the mixer. It is precisely into it, after dosing, that the raw material (sand, crushed stone, cement, water, etc.) comes in and it basically determines the productivity, which is measured in cubic meters per hour of finished product.
In hard-to-reach places or with a small volume of concrete production, self-loading concrete mixers are used.
