All You Need to Know About Concrete Mixing Station: From Systems to Selection

A concrete mixing station is a crucial core equipment in modern engineering construction. It’s like a precisely cooperating “concrete factory”, composed of six key systems: mixing host system, batching system, weighing system, conveying system, storage system, and control system. In various construction projects such as buildings, roads, and bridges, with accurate material proportioning and efficient mixing operations, it continuously produces concrete meeting strict quality standards, laying a solid foundation for projects.

Six Systems of Concrete Mixing Station

Mixing host system

Concrete mixing hosts are mainly forced mixers and drum mixers, thus divided into drum mixing stations and forced mixing stations. Relatively speaking, drum hosts have lower failure rates. But for hosts of the same model, the hourly production of drum mixers is not as high as that of forced ones, and the uniformity of concrete mixing by drum mixers is also not as good as that by forced mixers.

Batching system

Batching machines are mainly used to store sand and gravel (also called aggregates). According to different aggregate types, two – bin, three – bin or four – bin batching machines can be selected. Each bin stores one type of aggregate, such as sand and gravel. Under the bin is a weighing hopper for accurate weighing of aggregates. Weighing methods include cumulative weighing, separate weighing, rough – fine weighing and ordinary weighing.

Storage system

It mainly stores powdered materials that need to be sealed, such as fly ash and cement, and then conveys them to the host through a screw conveyor. The equipment for storing powdered materials includes vertical cement silos and horizontal cement silos. Vertical cement silos need to be grounded and are cheaper than horizontal ones; horizontal cement silos don’t need grounding when the ground hardness is sufficient and have good concealment. Both have dust collectors and explosion – proof valves on the top and manual butterfly valves at the bottom.

Conveying system

It is divided into powder conveying and aggregate conveying. Powder conveying generally uses a screw conveyor; for aggregate conveying, there are two ways: conveying by the host lifting hopper and conveying to the mixer by a belt conveyor. The belt conveyor has a faster conveying speed and higher efficiency.

Weighing system

It mainly weighs powder, water and admixtures and uses pneumatic discharge. The host specification determines the weighing specification, which can accurately control the feeding amount of each material to ensure that the concrete grade meets the standard. The admixture scale can be configured as stainless steel according to customer needs.

Control system

Each equipment has its own control cabinet. When the equipment forms a station, a centralized control system is needed. This system is built according to the equipment situation and needs, including cement scale, water scale, admixture scale and batching machine scale (that is, single – machine four scales). The control cabinet can realize semi – automatic or fully automatic operation, and can choose whether to include computer printing function.

How to Choose a Suitable Batching and Mixing Plant

  1. Based on project scale: For small projects, equipment with lower hourly production can be selected. For large-scale projects, equipment with high production capacity is needed. For example, the theoretical productivity of the HZS25 model reaches 25m³/h, which can be adapted to projects of corresponding scale.
  2. Considering aggregate types: If there are many types of aggregates, choose a multi-bin batching machine to meet the storage needs of various aggregates.
  3. Combined with site conditions: When the site is limited and the foundation is difficult to handle, horizontal cement silos and drum mixing stations can be considered; when the foundation is easy to handle and high production is pursued, vertical cement silos and forced mixing stations can be selected.
  4. Comparing costs: Refer to the concrete plant price. On the premise of meeting performance requirements, compare the prices of equipment of different brands and models. Consider factors such as equipment performance, quality, and after-sales service comprehensively, and choose the most cost-effective solution to maximize return on investment.
