Defining Concrete Batching Plants

Concrete batching plants are essential construction equipment designed to combine materials like sand, cement powder, aggregates, and water to form concrete. The output capacity of these plants can range significantly, with models from Utranazz starting at 15m3 per hour and reaching up to 200m3 per hour for certain models.

Varieties of Concrete Batching Plants

Several types of concrete batching plants are available on the market, each suited to different needs and offering unique advantages. The primary varieties include dry batching plants, wet batching plants, and self-loading concrete batching plants. Each type has its strengths and limitations, tailored to specific construction site demands and conditions.

Wet Concrete Batching Plants: Enhanced Mix Quality

Wet batching plants offer a comprehensive solution by incorporating an integrated mixer into the mixing console. This setup allows the mixing of aggregates, cement, additives, and water directly within the plant before being dispatched to a concrete truck mixer. While the initial investment and maintenance for wet batching plants are higher, the superior homogeneity and concrete quality they produce can justify these costs.

Dry Concrete Batching Plants: Cost-Effective and Versatile

Dry batching plants represent a traditional approach, making them ideal for startup manufacturers due to their lower costs compared to wet plants. In these plants, concrete mixing occurs within the truck mixer drum, making them suitable for use on remote or isolated construction sites. Dry batching plants require complementary equipment such as cement storage silos, conveyor belts, and concrete truck mixers. Precise aggregate measurements are dispatched into the truck mixer, where water is then added.

Every dry batching plant from Utranazz is customized to meet client specifications, available in configurations with one to four bins and output capacities ranging from 25–100m³ per hour.

Self-Loading Concrete Batching Plants: 24/7 Flexibility

Our inventory includes self-loading concrete batching plants, ideal for pre-cast and versatile on-site applications due to their ability to produce concrete around the clock. These plants feature a radial scraper that loads aggregates into a weigh hopper via a programmable computer system, discharging them into a pan mixer, drum mixer, or dry belt conveyor.

Self-loading plants are semi-mobile, available with or without cement horizontal silos or bag splitters, and can be powered electrically or by diesel. They come equipped with sophisticated weighing systems and multiple programmable settings for optimal control.

Available Concrete Batching Plant Models

Utranazz stocks an array of models, including the Semix Mobile 70 S4 and the Hydromix/SBM Euromix 1600 cm. The Semix Mobile 70 S4 is a mobile wet concrete batching plant, operational within 48 hours of site arrival, and capable of producing up to 70m³ per hour. The Hydromix/SBM Euromix 1600 cm is built for long-term projects needing a mobile solution, featuring modern design elements for continuous production.

The Hydromix/Semix static 130 series offers a stationary wet concrete batching plant with a 750-litre single shaft mixer, achieving up to 130m³ per hour in theoretical output. Utranazz also offers dry concrete batching plants in four sizes: 1, 2, 3, or 4 bin configurations with output capacities from 25-100m³/hour.

The Integral Role of Concrete Batching Plants in Construction

Concrete batching plants, known also as mixing plants, are fundamental in producing the concrete used in diverse construction projects. These plants automate the process of combining cement, water, sand, and aggregates in precise ratios to ensure consistent and high-quality concrete production. Depending on project size, location, and other factors, batching plants may be stationary, mobile, or portable.
