What Are Main Models of Mobile Batching Plant
Apr 29, 2025
In the field of modern construction engineering, mobile concrete batch plants have become indispensable key equipment due to their excellent flexibility and efficiency. Whether it is a small construction project in remote areas or a large infrastructure construction project, mobile concrete mixing stations can show their prowess.
Compared with stationary concrete batching plant, the mobile batching plant has the remarkable characteristics of flexible mobility, quick and easy disassembly and assembly, and simple storage and management. They are the best partner for mobile construction projects such as roads, railways, bridges, ports, and hydropower. At present, mobile concrete mixing plants are mainly divided into two types: traction type and trailer type.
As the core component of a mobile concrete batching plant, the performance of the mixer directly affects the quality and production efficiency of concrete. Commonly used concrete mixers are mainly divided into two categories:
Drum concrete mixer
Its working principle: The material to be mixed is brought into the air by the blades attached to the wall of the mixing barrel, and then falls to the bottom of the mixing barrel by gravity, and the mixing is achieved in this cycle. The mixing barrel of the common concrete mixer truck adopts this mixing method.
The advantage of this mixing method is that the power of the mixing main motor is relatively small, and the damage to the material is also small. However, it also has limitations. Its host capacity is generally not large. The common specifications are 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, and 1.5 cubic meters. Larger ones are relatively rare. Moreover, it takes a long time to mix homogenous concrete, generally ranging from 60 to 90 seconds.
Forced concrete mixer
Its working principle: The concrete is processed by forced mixing, which is completely different from the self-falling type. This type has developed a variety of types to meet different engineering needs, such as twin shaft concrete mixer, planetary concrete mixer, single shaft concrete mixer,etc.
Among the many types, the twin-shaft is the most common one. It is with a wide range of main unit capacities, from 0.5 to 4 cubic meters, and 1.5 to 3 cubic meters are commonly used.
Mobile concrete plants can be roughly divided into the following ranges according to their output to meet the needs of various projects:
Low output range (15 - 60 cubic meters / hour): This mini batching plant is suitable for small projects, such as self-built houses in rural areas, small repair projects, small landscape construction, etc. For example, housing construction in rural areas is relatively small in scale and the amount of concrete used is limited.
Low-output mobile mixing stations can be flexibly deployed at the construction site, which can not only meet the supply of concrete, but also avoid resource waste. The equipment is small in size, easy to move, simple to install and debug, and can be put into use quickly, effectively reducing the concrete procurement and transportation costs of small projects.
Medium output range (60 - 120 cubic meters / hour): suitable for medium-sized construction projects, such as small commercial buildings, small urban infrastructure construction, small bridge construction, etc. Taking the construction of small shopping malls in the city as an example, the mixing station in this output range can stably supply concrete to ensure the construction progress.
High-yield range (above 120 cubic meters/hour): mainly serves large-scale engineering projects, such as large-scale real estate development, large-scale bridge projects, highway construction, large-scale water conservancy projects, etc.
This type of mixing station is usually equipped with advanced mixing hosts and automated control systems, which can achieve large-scale, high-precision concrete production and meet the stringent requirements of large-scale projects on concrete output and quality.
