What are concrete batching plants(plantas) and what can they do for your company? They produce tons of wet or dry mix concrete for sale or for applications in construction. They are available in different configurations and one will likely be better for your company than another. The following provides a brief overview of the types of batching plants available.
Types of Concrete Plants
There are stationary plants and mobile or portable concrete batching plants. These are sold through manufacturers and come in different sizes, produce different amounts of cubic tons and are offered with different features like concrete tilt mixers.
If your company is making mixes to sell on a routine basis, a stationary(estacionaria planta) batch plant is ideal. The setup you choose will produce the type of concrete mix your firm sells and will do so consistently for years. These durable mixers require installation.
If your company routinely does jobs in construction or moves from one job site to another, a mobile concrete batch plant(planta de concreto móvil) is best. These work much the same way stationary batch plants do and will mix aggregates both wet or dry quickly. The difference is that these batch plants can be moved from one job site to another.
Mobile or portable batch plants require a certain degree of installation, depending on the job site itself and the location. Their installation is easier than that of stationary plants. You can move the mobile batch plant wherever you need it to go and set it back up conveniently.
As to cost, stationary plants are more expensive because they are larger and need a base to be installed where the item will be situated. If an existing plant is there and needs to be removed this adds to the cost, but these machines last for years and produce a great deal of concrete, so they are well worth the investment.
Mobile batch plants cost less(costo menor) to purchase and, if they need it, install. The only extra cost is that associated with fuel to transport it wherever it needs to go.
Note that for some permanent uses, mobile or portable machines are the better choice. If your work requires the mixer to pour or operate at a limited height, you are better off with these machines rather than stationary machines which are much bigger. There are also semi-mobile batch plants which offer greater flexibility(flexibilidad) for concrete needs on-the-job. They offer about as much output as stationary machines, but they do not get transported on a trailer like the mobile units do.
Where to Buy Concrete Batching Plants
Fortunately, buying these plants(estas plantas) is relatively easy online. Many top manufacturers(como AIMIX) offer in-depth details, photos, and specifications of the types of plants they offer together with features and options you can add to any item you order.
If you have special order requests, you can inquire online about buying a custom plant. Whichever type of concrete batching plant your company orders, be sure to have a maintenance plan in place. These will help ensure your machine is serviced regularly to perform optimally for many years.
