Although we have discussed classification of Concrete mixing Plants twice before, in China there is still a local classification method by which one type is called Concrete mixing building yet the other Concrete mixing Plants . Generally speaking, the former is of smaller scale while the latter is of larger scale.

The structures of a mixing Plants are simpler than those of a building because it has fewer systems. A station is such a concrete batch plant that it has aggregate stock bin at the top of the plant and the aggregates go straightly into the Concrete mixer after being weighed. While for a building the aggregate stock bin is below, sometimes a little distant from, the mixer so that aggregates, after being weighed, have to be sent by an inclined belt conveyor or a lift to the mixer. Thus a station saves several steps of process in comparison with a building. Simply speaking, a concrete batch plant with one time of lift of aggregates is called station, while that with two times of lifts is building.

Owing to the fact that a station has its aggregate stock bin at the top of the concrete mixing Plants it’s featured by huger steel body and longer inclination belts, but it beats a building with a 20% faster efficiency. Moreover, a building may be faced with more energy consumption and higher failure rate, because its inclination belt conveyor has to be started more frequently, while a station, with less such trouble, works more smoothly. However, a smaller body has its own advantages. It’s much easier to dismantle and move a building than a station, which is usually installed at a fixed site for large scale construction. Thus clients should take both efficiency and mobility into account while choosing suitable concrete batch plants.
