What Is a Concrete Plant?

A concrete mixing plant is a site where concrete is mixed using a concrete mixing station. Its main facility is a concrete mixing station. With the development of centralized mixing concrete, the application of concrete mixing plants has become more widespread. ^[1]

Concrete is currently the most widely used building material and has broad development prospects. With the improvement of human environmental protection and resource consciousness, people have higher and higher requirements for concrete construction. Various new methods to improve the application of concrete are constantly emerging, and the development of centralized mixing concrete has become a sign of the modernization and scientificization of civil construction. Centralized mixing concrete refers to a concrete mixture made of cement, aggregate, water, as required, admixtures, mineral admixtures, and other components at a certain ratio and measured and mixed at a mixing station. ^[1]

Centrally mixed concrete has many advantages over field mixed concrete. Practices at home and abroad show that the use of centralized mixing of concrete can generally increase labor productivity by more than double and save about 10% of cement. At the same time, it can also ensure the quality of the project, save construction land and reduce

Centralized mixing of concrete takes place mainly through a mixing station.

Concrete mixing station is a joint device used for centralized mixing of concrete, also known as concrete precast yard. Due to its

The concrete mixing station is mainly composed of 5 major systems: material storage system, material weighing system, material transportation system, mixing system, powder storage system, powder transportation system, powder measurement system, water and admixture measurement system and control system. And other ancillary facilities. ^[2]

However, in the process of using ready-mixed concrete, the following issues should be paid attention to: the quality of raw materials (cement, crushed stone, sand, fly ash, admixtures, etc.) of the ready-mixed concrete should be guaranteed; the conditions of the ready-mixed concrete pouring site, transportation roads The conditions should be investigated in advance; the organizational planning of ready-mixed concrete construction should be done, and measures should be taken to cope with equipment blockage and slurry turning; overcome the difficulties of difficult to control the foundation height difference; and prevent the occurrence of cracks and bubbles. During the pumping of ready-mixed concrete, waste concrete and excess concrete at the end of pumping should be treated in an environmentally friendly manner, and properly treated in a timely manner in accordance with a predetermined treatment method and place. ^[1]
