How Does A Ready Mix Concrete Plant Work?

There are three steps for ready-mixed concrete production. Because usually concrete production needs three raw materials: aggregate, cement and fly ash, water and additive. Let's see how a ready mix plant works below.

1.Aggregate. Firstly, the wheel loader will transport aggregate, such as, stone, pebble, and small aggregate to the concrete batching machine. After the weighing and batching, the aggregate proportioned will be transported to the belt conveyor or a lifting hopper. The enter the concrete mixer machine.

2.Usually we will equip the whole ready mix concrete plant with cement silos to store cement and fly ash. If there is special requirement on this, we will adjust these materials to others. Cement and fly ash will enter the concrete mixer through the screw conveyor.

3.Additive pump will pump the additive into water weighing system after the weighing.

Then, all of raw materials are ready in the concrete mixer machine. Press the mix button, after the stipulated mixing time, you will get fresh ready-mixed concrete.
