The production of central mix concrete plant is based on the processing of raw materials. There are a lot of raw materials used in concrete batching plants such as sand, stone, cement, fly ash, slag, admixture, water, etc. Cement is a kind of powdered inorganic cementitious material.

Mixed with water cement can form into slurry or paste which can be hardened in air or water. The sand, stone and other materials can be cemented together thereby choosing qualified cement for concrete batching plants is very important. Now let’s see how to choose qualified cement for your central mix concrete plant.

1.The selection of cement varieties is mainly determined by the structural characteristics of the project, the situated environment of the site and the construction conditions of the engineering.

2.Choose the cement which has high C3S, low C3A (<8%), low alkali content (<1%), moderate specific surface (3400cm2/g ~ 3600cm2/g), and good particle size. Choose proper cement silos for your sites.

3.Use different grades of cement properly. When producing flowing concrete under C40, you should choose 32.5Mpa ordinary silicon cement. When producing high performance concrete above C40, you should choose 42.5Mpa portland cement or ordinary silicon cement.

4.Choose the correct varieties of cement for different uses of concrete. For winter construction, it is suitable to use type R portland cement. For mass concrete, it is advisable to use slag cement or ordinary silicon cement.

The performance of cement determines the durability of the concrete so customers must be careful when selecting cement. The above is a summary of ways to choose qualified cement for your small concrete batching plants.
