How efficient is a mobile concrete batching plant versus ready mix

A concrete batching plant is designed for the purpose of holding and then combining all ingredients to make concrete. Which is more efficient - a transit concrete mixer or mobile concrete batching plant? For a construction site to run effectively and within budget, project managers have to decide what means of concrete production and delivery they will employ. This decision, as reported by a construction engineer, largely depends on the site location. If the central concrete plant that mixes and batches ready-mixed concrete is a two to three hour journey away from the construction site, then investing in a mobile concrete batching plant may be the most efficient option, particularly if the cost of retarders and other admixtures to prevent the concrete setting are added to the equation. Concrete that has to be transported long distances also incurs fuel costs and there is the risk of the quality of concrete that reaches the construction site being affected. Another consideration when calculating the efficiency of concrete production in situ is that the transport of the dry ingredients to the job site must also be factored into the equation added to the provision of a mobile concrete batching plant and cement silo. Consistency of concrete, daily required quantities and the timing of deliveries are critical to deciding which batch plant supplies the mix. The key features of a mobile concrete batching plant is that they are able to provide uniform quantities of concrete at the exact time it is required and to the right quantity. Due to onboard computer control systems there is no wastage in achieving precision in concrete production. Benefits of a mobile concrete batching plant  More economical - no time wasted waiting for a ready mix concrete mixer to deliver concrete to the job site and because they batch exact quantities of concrete, wastage is minimal, if any Concrete is batched exactly where it is required or directly into a concrete pump or mixer truck. When you buy a batch plant, either new or in a used condition from Utranazz, you benefit from an unrivalled after-sales spare parts and back-up customer support service Utranazz can supply a wide array of accessories to work alongside mobile batching plants: ad-mixture plants, low-level or upright cement silos, aggregate feeders and water chillers - to meet job site demands A mobile batch plant is self-contained and offers contractors the ability to effectively and profitably bid on jobs of any size and in (virtually) any location. Concrete batching plants, whether a wet or dry type, play an important role in the mixing and making of concrete for delivery. A dry batching plant includes a mixer and is fully mobile or easily movable with a mixer feeding by belt or skip. Whether mobile or static, concrete batching plants are built to maximise productivity, the quality of your concrete mix and your return on investment.
