Atlas describe of how many types of Batching plant. It is a synonym for concrete plant. We all know that a concrete plant is known to combine various ingredients in different proportions to produce ready mix concrete. The broad types of concrete batch mixing plants can be: dry mix type plants and wet mix type plants. These ingredients are aggregates, sand, cement, water and additives. Sometimes fly ash, silica and other ingredients can also be added to the mix. The name batching plant is given. Because it has the ability to produce ready mix concrete in batches.
The main component of a concrete plant can be termed as the mixing unit. However the function – operation of a concrete plant is dependent on many different components. These components are feeder bins, conveyor belts, material storage compartments (eg. silos), weighing bins and control panel. Mixer can be of different types like twin shaft, planetary, drum type, pan type, etc.
The two main types of concrete batching plants can be as below:
• Mobile concrete batch plant
• Stationary concrete batch plant
While mobile batching plants are targeted to customer looking for portability they are smaller in size. Mobile types also feature smaller bins and are designed to work in confined spaces. It is now possible to get various capacities of batching plants that are mobile – all suited for your needs.
On the other hand, the stationary type of batching plant is for heavy usage. These are heavy build machine that are designed to produce quality ready mix concrete from a single place. The stationary batch plant type will have bigger components and it will occupy more space. The time taken to set up a stationary plant is more than a mobile type.
Types of Concrete batching Plants:
Atlas Concrete Batching equipment can be categorized on the basis of their working. Concrete Plants are some types of semi-automatic and automatic versions available.
Semi-automatic:Semi automatic batching plants allow some functions to perform automatically while in some functions they require manual intervention Atlas manufactures mini concrete batching plants that are semi-automatic type. These are small or mini batching plants that are equipped with load cells but feeding is by labours and labour intervention is required to stop feeding. As soon as the desired weight is fed into the hopper the light blinks and labour have to stop material feeding. The mixing unit here is reversible drum mixer. It is fed by hopper which is engaged by the hydraulic cylinder manually.
Automatic: Automatic type of batching plant have all the functions automated. From the time material is fed into the feeder bins till the time the mixer discharges its automatic. The control panel has provision to run the full plant by using few buttons. Modern control panels have option to save multiple recipes as per customers requirements. Weighing of all materials will be done automatically. Material will be discharged as soon as the designated weight is achieved. Automatic batching equipment can do mixing of the material for fixed time and discharge the mix material as soon as the mixing time is over.
Mobile Concrete Batch Plant
Atlas is Concrete batch plant can be stationary, mobile or semi mobile. Stationary plants are those that have been designed to sit in one place producing concrete for years. Mobile Concrete Plants usually will be compact and smaller in size. They have some additional functionality to dismantle and move to different sites frequently. Semi mobile will be in between stationary and mobile. They will combine the advantages of both the worlds. Atlas produces mobile type Concrete Batching Mixing Plants in different capacities ranging from 10 m3/hr. to 60 m3/hr.
The modern type of contractors prefer the mobile type concrete batch plant because of the advantages they provide. It is easy to erect and dismantle these plants swiftly. The usually comes with axles, brakes, etc. Usually a mobile plant is very compact in its overall size. It can be dismantled and reassembled in few days. This advantage makes it easy for these mobile plants to change sites frequently. It helps reduce transportation costs and hence it is preferred over stationary versions.
Mobile batch plant also known as portable concrete plants are productive and cost effective to produce concrete in short space. Modern day concrete plants are reliable piece of equipment. It allows us to produce concrete at different locations within short period of time.
Stationary type concrete batching plant
A stationary concrete batching plant is stationed at a single place for most of its life time. It is that type of batching plant which will not be preferred for movement time and again. The modules and components of Atlas stationary concrete plants are containerized and easy to assemble and move. Since the size of the components are heavy, they are fixed at one place and not moved for years. The reputation that these machines have achieved is unparallel.
These are tried and tested work horses that are designed to produce non-stop. They are cost effective provided they are used more often at stationed at a single place for years. Atlas manufactures stationary batching plants in the capacities 30 to 200 m3/hr.
Containerized concrete batching plant
If you are in the search to buy a containerized concrete batching plant then you are at the right place. We offer mobile type design that is containerized. Also available is the stationary version of containerized batch plants. Atlas is manufacturing and exporting wide variety of batch mixers.
Our range of portable batching plants are very compact. They can be transported in a single 40 HC container. The capacity of the equipment is small – available up to 20 m3/hr. But it is designed to do all the job well. This design can be made equipped with a reversible drum mixer. If someone would like to select a pan or twin shaft mixer it is possible. The capacity can be up to 30 m3/hr. these portable types can be easily taken to places and are easy to use with advanced software system.
We are focussing on long term and reliable solutions for the concrete construction industry. Our simple and reliable machines have allowed customers to place trust on us. The ease of use, ready availability of spares and superior service support makes us preferred manufacturer for quality construction machines.
Atlas is manufacturer and exporter of concrete batching plants all over the world. We focus on giving reliable solutions to our customers. Our focus is to provide dependable equipment as per the customers requirement.
A concrete batching plant uses the weigh batching process to weigh individually the material before making them into a batch.
Concrete plants can be dry mix type or wet mix type. Dry mix will not add water into the mix material whereas in the other type, the concrete produced is wet type.
Concrete plants occupy small or medium land, depending on its capacity and the accessories that come with the plant. Usually for a medium-sized plant of 60 m3/hr. capacity, a land requirement of 55 x 55 meters will be sufficient.
Asphalt batching plant can be stationary type or mobile type. Stationary type is usually preferred by customers for producing continuously in a single place. Mobile plants offer higher flexibility and options to relocate places with the asphalt batching plant very easily.
