10 principal functions of self loading batching plant
The two main criteria determining the quality of concrete are its strength and durability. The process of achievement of strength and durability of concrete begins with its production. The ease with which quality control measures can be implemented at the production stage is not available in later stages of transportation and placement of concrete.
Ready-mix concrete is a type of concrete that is manufactured in a factory or in batching plant, according to a set recipe, and then delivered to the work site. A mobile concrete batching plant , combines various ingredients like sand, water, aggregates, chemical and mineral admixtures (fly ash, plasticizer etc), and cement by weight to form concrete. Capacity of the plant is measured in cum per hour. It depends upon capacity of mixer, number of mixers, charging, mixing and discharge time of each planetary concrete mixer . The purpose of Concrete Batching and Mixing Plant is to produce homogenous and uniform concrete, as indicated by physical properties such as unit weight, slump, air content, and strength in individual batches and successive batches of the same mix proportions.
FUNCTIONS OF CONCRETE BATCHING AND MIXING PLANT:
The main functions of the self loading batching plant are as under:
To coat the surface of all the aggregates with cement paste, and to blend all the ingredients of the concrete into a uniform mass.
To mix homogeneously the cement, water, coarse and fine aggregates, admixtures (if required) and fibers (when provided in mix design) and other material as per job mix formula in proportion as per predetermined specification to make concrete cohesive and plastic which is easy to transport, place, compact, texture, finish and which will set, and harden, to give a strong and durable concrete structure.
To measure the cement, water, coarse, fine aggregates and admixtures within specified tolerance limits and to maintain the desired grading of aggregates.
To provide greater freedom in design.
To achieve the production of concrete at a faster rate.
To provide concrete at any location
To maintain the quality of mix through monitoring various processes like mixing, batching, etc. and controlling the variations e.g. ingredients proportion, moisture, etc.
Cooling and heating of dry aggregates in the mix (before adding water), if required, to produce concrete within specified temperature limits.
View and print the report of concrete production, report of produced concrete, batch wise, recipe wise etc.
To maintain batch wise, date wise data of the concrete produced in the on board computer.
