The main criterion: the contribution of the concrete batching plant to the economic profit of your company

Choosing a concrete batching plant requires careful analysis of your own business and the market you are targeting. This analysis will provide you with the most appropriate framework to assess the different elements that you must take into account, not only at the time of purchase, but also at the time of installation and operation.

Of course, the economic element will be the paramount to estimate the suitability of a concrete batching plant. As in any business, there are financial costs and operating costs involved, but there are some items specific to concrete batching plants that must be evaluated. Among them, the most important are engineering (the study and management of the project); the works to be undertaken (civil works, fences, cleaning, water and electricity supplies, etc.); the auxiliary equipment for the plant works, like excavators.  In addition, one of the most important elements: the amortization of the plant. Since very often, the purchase of a concrete batching plant is made for a temporary project &#; such as a construction site &#; and once completed a large part of the investment can be recovered by moving the plant to another work or by selling that concrete batching plant to another company.

Regulatory frameworks and logistics of concrete batching plants 

The installation and operation of a concrete batching plant have to comply with legal, local, state, and international regulations. This is specified in various types of licenses (activity, work, operating) that have a cost in themselves and due to the eventual need to undertake works, such as fences and enclosures, to accommodate them.

All these regulations add elements and obstacles to the complex logistics of a concrete batching plant. In any case, the main milestones to which the logistics of a concrete batching plant must pay attention are the assembly procedures, the tasks that make it possible for the machinery to operate correctly and maintenance. All this adds additional costs and expenses that must be considered.

Different businesses, different solutions 

The type of business directly affects the choice of concrete batching plant. In fact, several businesses will require the installation of one to several concrete batching plants. It can be a plant to sell concrete, or also a company to produce precast concrete pieces, such as beams or tiles. In many other cases it will be a public work or a construction that will require a plant to regularly supply the concrete you need. Each one has its peculiarities and its conditions

Custom technology solutions

There are different types of concrete batching plants : mixers &#;wet way&#;, which carry out the complete process of making concrete, or dosing plants &#;dry way&#; which, as their name indicates, pour the concrete components into concrete mixers in their prescribed dose for mingle on the construction site. From the logistical point of view, they can be fixed plants, prefabricated plants or construction plants. The latter facilitate their rapid relocation to various locations and are the most suitable for projects such as construction of railways or roads.

Depending on the space available, they can be vertical concrete batching plants  (when the movement of the components is made from top to bottom with the help of gravity) or horizontal concrete batching plants  in which the transfer of the elements that make up the concrete (cement, aggregates, water and additives) is made with belts and augers. In addition, there are different types of mixers: horizontal axis, turbo mixers (or vertical axis) and the so-called planetary mixers.

Each of the various concrete batching plants that exist is designed for the production of one class (or several) of concrete and for different types of business.

The construction environment is one of the top factors to be considered when purchasing a concrete plant.
So ask yourself the following questions:

• What is the size of the construction site?
• Accordingly, what should be the size of the equipment?
• Similarly, how much quantity of concrete would be required for the project?
• We primarily make concrete batching plants in three capacities &#; 15 Cu m3, 20 Cu m3, and 30 Cu m3.
• How busy is the area near the construction site in terms of traffic?
• What is the distance between the construction site and the conveying vehicle?

2. Reliability of the Equipment

The reliability of the equipment and the quality of concrete produced go hand in hand. Thus, it is essential to ensure that the batch plant is reliable enough to get high-quality concrete for your construction work. Take into consideration the following aspects:

• Check the various product features
• Inspect the control system of the equipment
• Look for customization options
• Analyze the product parameters to ensure they meet your
• specifications and requirements

3. Conduct Batching Plant Cost Analysis

Since there are several concrete batching plant options available, it is advisable to set up your budget and make a cost analysis of the equipment you require. It includes:

• Transportation costs
• Installation costs
• Site preparation costs
• Electrical and plumbing costs
• Tax amount, if any

4. Performance/Cost Ratio

When it pertains to the financial aspects, you must conduct a complete analysis. It is not sufficient to merely look into the price of the concrete plant. You must also consider the performance-cost ratio. In other words, check for equipment that offers more benefits at less cost. It will increase the performance-cost ratio.

5. Choice of Main Engine

The main engine of a concrete batching plant must be chosen after due care and inspection. You must look for the following attributes:

• Reliable concrete mixer
• Ability to produce good quality concrete
• Must have strong overload capacity
• Should have high production efficiency
• Must have the adaptability to the mixing of various commodities

6. Look Out for Aggregate Options

It is a very crucial aspect to be considered while purchasing a concrete batching plant. So get to know the type of cement available in your region. It will be the deciding factor as far as the number of bins for the plant is concerned.

It is vital to opt for a manufacturer who is well-known and reliable. You should ask for the following:

• The technology used
• Quality of materials used to assemble the equipment
• After-sales services provided by the manufacturer
• Whether or not the manufacturer provides training on the safe and efficient use as well as regular maintenance and upkeep of the concrete plant.

The vital aspect while choosing a concrete plant is to search for the best combination of quality and price, i.e., the equipment should be of superior quality at an affordable price.
