Different Requirements of Stabilized Soil Mixing Station and Concrete Plant on Cement Silos
Feb 26, 2025
In the field of construction engineering, stabilized soil mixing station and concrete mixing plants play an indispensable role. As the key equipment for storing bulk materials, the number configuration and type selection of cement silos directly affect the production efficiency and operating costs of the mixing plant. Today, let's take a deeper look at cement silos.
Differences in the number of cement silos required for stabilized soil mixing plants and concrete mixing plants
Different cement usage
In the production of stabilized soil, cement accounts for a relatively small proportion. Therefore, in the stabilized soil mixing plant equipment, the number of cement tanks is usually small, generally 1-2 sets are enough to meet the production needs, and the model of the cement tank is relatively small, and the common one is about 100 tons.
However, due to the large amount of cement used in the production of concrete, concrete mixing plants generally use three to four cement silos according to different equipment models, and the capacity range of cement silos is also wider, ranging from 100 tons to 300 tons. For example, a small concrete mixing plant may be equipped with 3 sets 100-ton cement silos, and a large one may be equipped with 4 sets 200-ton or even 300-ton cement silos.
Production scale and application scenarios
The finished products produced by the stabilized soil mixing station are mainly used in the construction of transportation engineering projects such as highways, railways, and airports. Although the total demand for stabilized soil in these projects may be large, the number of cement silos required is not as high as that of the concrete mixing station. Taking the construction of an ordinary highway as an example, according to the construction progress, 1-2 cement silos can continuously supply the cement required for the production of stabilized soil.
The finished concrete produced by the concrete mixing station is used in the construction of various engineering buildings, such as large commercial buildings and high-rise residential buildings. These projects have a large and continuous demand for concrete, so more cement silos are needed to ensure the supply of cement. For example, if a large commercial complex is built, a concrete mixing station may need to be equipped with 4 large-capacity cement silos to meet the large demand for concrete in different construction stages.
Raw material types
In addition to cement, if the mixing station also uses other powders such as fly ash in the production process, even if it is close to the cement plant, it needs to be equipped with at least two cement silos, each for storing different powders. Stabilized soil mixing stations use less cement and involve relatively few other types of powders, so the overall demand for an increase in the number of cement silos is not obvious.
In addition, when the hourly demand for concrete in the mixing station is large, in order to supply sufficient raw materials in time, the number of silo cement storage and fly ash tanks must be increased accordingly. This situation is particularly common in large concrete mixing stations, while stabilized soil mixing stations rarely increase the number of cement silos due to high production demand due to their production characteristics.
