Concrete Construction Equipment - Concrete Batching Plant

A concrete batching plant is a process where the ingredients of concrete are mixed and blended skilfully. i.e. concrete batch plants are used to mix the various ingredients to form concrete. In markets, commonly used plants are ready mix plants and central mix plants. This depends on the type of the batching plant. Once the fresh quality concrete is prepared, it is then transported to the site through trucks.

Concrete produced out from concrete batching plant is used in the foundations of building construction, paving materials for roads, bridges, plumbing and piping in construction projects etc. From this, it is clear that how important a batching plant helps in construction.

It becomes necessary that the concrete batching plant is efficient and speedy in order to complete a construction project as early as possible. The durability of the construction project is highly depends on the quality of concrete used in that project. So, if you need a batching plant for your construction project, go for a deep decision to identify which plant best suits your demand.


Why to Use Concrete Batching Plant?

Concrete batching plants can be valuable resources for the construction companies. With the use of concrete batching plants, these companies can speed up the tasks of concrete production at sites while eliminating the problems of inefficiency in mixing. With concrete plants, the concrete can be mixed to exact specifications required for a particular construction and therefore the risks of final product rejection are lessened. The problems of over or under supply of concrete, delivery delays, product wastage or too wet or too dry concrete production can be eliminated. Therefore concrete batching plants are very useful equipments which every construction company involved in concrete constructions should possess to save up on its concrete production costs and improve its profits.

Effect of Fly Ash on the Properties of Fresh Concrete

The use of good quality fly ash with a high fineness and low carbon content reduces the water demand of concrete and consequently, the use of fly ash should permit the concrete to be produced at lower water content when compared to a portland cement concrete of the same workability.

Benefits of Fly ash used in Portland Cement Concrete:

Use of fly ash in Portland cement concrete (PCC) has many benefits and improves concrete performance in both the fresh and hardened state. Fly ash use in concrete improves the workability of plastic concrete, and the strength and durability of hardened concrete. Fly ash use is also cost effective. When Fly ash is added to concrete, the amount of Portland cement may be reduced.


Mix Design for Fly Ash based Concrete:

Use of Fly ash along with cement helps to provide specific properties like reduced early heat of hydration, increased long term strength, increased resistance to alkali aggregate reaction and sulphate attack, reduced permeability, resistance to the intrusion of aggressive solutions and also economy.

Salient advantage of using fly ash in cement concrete:
  • Reduction in heat of hydration and thus reduction of thermal cracks and improves soundness of concrete mass.
  • Improved workability / pumpabilty of concrete
  • Converting released lime from hydration of OPC into additional binding material - contributing additional strength to concrete mass.
  • Pore refinement and grain refinement due to reaction between fly ash and liberated lime improves impermeability.
  • Improved impermeability of concrete mass increases resistance against ingress of moisture and harmful gases result in increased durability.
  • Reduced requirement of cement for same strength thus reduced cost of concrete.
We manufacture a wide range of construction machinery like concrete hollow block machines, fly ash brick making machine, tiles making machines, pan mixture, concrete mixture machines with high quality standard.

We are offering both manual and automatic block making plants in various ranges based on the requirement.
