A self-propelled mixing station consisting of a mixer, silo, metering system, conveying system, and vehicle body. Batching plants are usually equipped with wheels that can be directly driven by their own power system for movement. Wheeled design provides better stability and operability, and compared to trailer type, wheeled mixing plants are more flexible to move.
The production capacity of mobile stations is generally between 25-100 cubic meters, with a wide range of production options. The distance of aggregate transportation is short, and there is no intermediate aggregate waiting warehouse. It occupies a small area and has a high actual concrete production capacity. It is suitable for temporary, large and medium-sized construction sites and projects that require work in urban environments.
It is a mini mobile concrete mixing plant equipment, with a drum mixer installed on its mixing platform, integrating functions such as concrete mixing, material storage, transportation, and metering. It usually includes trailer towing pins and parking legs, used to connect and support the entire mixing plant. Adopting a drum type design, it can quickly and evenly mix various proportions of concrete.
With the innovative modular design, the small batching plant realizes quick disassembly and flexible transfer, and can easily adapt to all kinds of complex construction environments. The fully-automatic intelligent control system greatly reduces the threshold of operation, which can be quickly mastered even by novices, and at the same time reduces manual intervention, which significantly improves the efficiency of concrete production. The compact structural design allows it to cover a small area and move conveniently, and can be adjusted at any time according to the project requirements, especially suitable for temporary projects that require frequent relocation, providing a reliable guarantee for the progress and quality of the project.
Choosing a suitable ready mix concrete plant based on project scale and schedule requirements, calculating the required total amount of concrete and daily production volume for comprehensive consideration, is a key factor in improving production efficiency and reducing costs.
| Project Scale | How To Choose Your Mobile Type Concrete Batching Plant |
| Small Projects | For small projects, the demand for concrete is relatively low and the construction period is short, such as residential construction, small road construction, etc. You can choose a compact concrete plant with a capacity of approximately 20m ³/h to 50m ³/h.
Due to the small scale of the project, the mobile frequency may not be high, so a towed mobile cement batching plant is a good choice. For example, our MCBP integrated concrete plant is very suitable for small projects, with low equipment investment and strong flexibility. |
| Medium Projects | Medium sized projects have a moderate demand for concrete, a moderate construction scope, and a large amount of work. For example, medium-sized buildings, commercial projects, hydropower projects, highways, etc. are suitable for choosing medium capacity mobile mixing plants with a capacity of approximately 50m ³/h to 75m ³/h.
According to the mobile requirements of the project, a trailer or self-propelled mobile mixing plant can be selected. For example, our MCBP integrated mobile station and YHZM mini cement batching plant are both suitable for use in small and medium-sized projects. They can adapt to long-term use, provide sufficient concrete supply, and maintain high production efficiency and concrete quality. |
| Large Projects | The demand for concrete in large-scale projects is very high, and the requirements for production efficiency and concrete quality are very high, at this time, you can choose the large-capacity mobile concrete mixing plant with a capacity of about 75m³/h~100m³/h, or the mobile mixing plant with a capacity of more than 100m³/h.
For large-scale projects, the mobility of mobile mixing plants may not be the main consideration, and their output may be more important. You can choose our YHZS mobile cement batching plant, which has a wide production range and can meet the concrete needs of medium and large projects. The equipment is equipped with wheels and has strong flexibility. It can travel independently, reducing dependence on external transportation vehicles. |
If the construction site is flat and the transportation is convenient, the plant can be installed and operated more easily, and the structural requirements for the mixing plant are not high. According to project requirements, larger mobile concrete mixing plants can be selected, which have high production capacity and are suitable for providing large-scale projects. They can provide higher production efficiency, more accurate concrete mix proportions, and concrete supply.
For narrow or rugged construction sites, the mobility and flexibility of portable concrete batch plant are particularly important. For example, in sloping or hilly areas, the installation and operation of mixing plants may face challenges, so it is necessary to choose mixing plants that can adapt to these terrains, such as compact mobile stations or integrated mobile stations; These devices are easy to move in complex terrain and can quickly adjust their position, ensuring that concrete production is not affected by the environment.
In the actual construction project, the environment and geographical conditions of the construction site will have an important impact on the project. Therefore, the selection of construction equipment should be all-round, multi-dimensional consideration to ensure that the selected equipment not only meets the specific requirements of the construction site, more adaptable to the actual situation on the site, so as to ensure the smooth progress of the construction, so that the quality of concrete can meet the production standards.
