What Is Continuous Concrete Mixing Plant?

Continuous concrete mixing plant is an important equipment in mechanical engineering, which is defined as a concrete mixing plant in which the processes of feeding, batching, feeding, mixing and discharging can be operated continuously according to a predetermined program. Haomei Machinery will give a detailed introduction of continuous concrete mixing plant as following:

1. Working Principle

In the production process of continuous concrete mixing plant, any unit of time is a continuous mixing process in which all kinds of materials with precise measurement enter continuously from the upper part of one end of the mixer, and are unloaded from the bottom of the other end after being propelled by mixing blades. During continuous production, the weighing hopper of the mixer dispenses various materials into the mixer, a process which is programmed and calculated by the weight subtraction method and controlled by an inverter. At the same time, the feeding belt of the weighing hopper will replenish the material to the weighing hopper accordingly.

2. Features and Advantages

– High efficiency and high output: Since continuous concrete batching plant adopts continuous production method, it has high production efficiency and output, which can meet the demand of large-scale engineering projects.

– Low energy consumption: compared with intermittent mixing plant, continuous mixing plant performs better in terms of energy consumption, which is conducive to reducing production costs.

– High reliability: Continuous concrete mixing plant adopts advanced control system and high-quality mechanical components, which has high reliability and stability and can run stably for a long time.

– Wide application: Continuous concrete mixing plant can be used for asphalt concrete mixing and cement concrete mixing, and is suitable for a variety of engineering projects, such as wall, floor, floor slab and other components production, roads, bridges, tunnels and other infrastructure construction, as well as water conservancy projects such as dams, culverts and other structural construction.

3. The development history and application status:

Continuous concrete mixing plant process and the corresponding mixing equipment has been developed for more than 30 years. In asphalt concrete mixing, continuous concrete mixing plant equipment has gone through a process of being expected to eliminate the shortcomings of intermittent mixing equipment, but excluded from being banned due to technical problems, and then after significant technical improvements and then be valued. At present, in asphalt concrete production, foreign countries have formed a continuous asphalt mixing plant is the main trend. As for cement concrete, continuous concrete mixing plant equipment has been gradually applied in recent years, especially in commercial concrete and highway cement pavement projects, which are widely recognized.

To summarize, continuous concrete mixing plant is a kind of efficient, reliable and widely used concrete production equipment, which can meet the needs of various engineering projects. With the continuous progress of technology and market development, continuous concrete mixing plant is expected to continue to play an important role in the future.
