A fairly common problem I’ve seen over the last 25+ years when I’ve been helping folks at their concrete plant is fairly simple. They’re paying for a local company to handle their environmental matters, often without success. It seems fairly common that folks aren’t hiring an environmental expert at their concrete plant, but are instead relying on someone around the corner. I get it, I completely do. Local firms tend to be cheaper, more flexible, quicker to respond to emergencies, etc. But, are they your best bet?
Closed material field is used. Most construction sites use open type material field, and most raw materials such as gravel are not washed. If closed material field design can be adopted, it can effectively reduce the dust emission of the mixing plant to the surrounding environment.
In the use of concrete mixing plant, we can adopt the whole station closed design, add the isolation board, isolation room and other measures for the concrete mixing plant, and adopt the closed design to reduce noise emission.
Do you struggle with the one or more of your pneumatically operated gates opening or closing too fast? It can be frustrating to want to add only a small amount of cement, but a a jog of the gate causes way more than you may want. Whether using a fully automatic or manual control system for your concrete plant, this is problem that can frequently be solved with the addition of a simple flow control valve on the air exit port on the function you would like to slow. Most concrete batch plants use pneumatic systems or air systems to open and close its gates. These air systems normally employ solenoid valves to control the input and sometimes the exit of air from the cylinders or valves they are controlling.
A customer recently told us they asked an industry professional to visit their ready mix concrete plant to evaluate their plant. They needed to get a little more production but didn’t really want to invest in a new concrete plant. The person visited and advised them their concrete plant was old and needed to be replaced. In reality, this is not even remotely accurate. A concrete plant doesn’t know how old it is and therefor for its speed is not connected to its age.
We hear all the time “inspect your plant”, but what does that really mean?
First, I think we have to acknowledge that there are a couple of types of inspections.
Regular and routine maintenance is critical in maximizing the lifespan, downtime and replacement parts cost for all concrete plants, and the maintenance routine suggested by the manufacturer of your concrete plant should always be followed. You are encouraged to contact the manufacturer of your specific concrete plant and ask the for their specific maintenance recommendations for your plant.
Cracked concrete can happen for lots of reasons. Could be a bad mix design for the intended use, could be due to material or ambient weather conditions, could be lots of things, but could it be because of the concrete plant? Of course, a concrete plant can and does make bad concrete, but most concrete plants have a system in place to catch a bad batch.
The cost of a concrete plant can vary significantly depending on how much concrete you are making, what you are making it for, and a variety of other factors. Visitors considering purchasing a concrete plant are encouraged to work with our sales team to ensure you are getting the right type, size and application of equipment.
commercial concrete batching plant is also known as pre-mixed commodity concrete plant. It is widely used in China’s construction industry and has been trusted and favored by users. Why is commercial concrete batching plant so favored by users? The main reason is that since it was put into use, it has great torsion for the quality and production efficiency of our concrete products. What is the light spot of a commercial concrete batching plant?
