Why Use a Concrete Batch Plant? Posted by: concretemixer - 09-06-2022, 09:15 AM - Forum: concrete machinery - No Replies There are many advantages to using a concrete plant. First of all, it allows you to save considerable time on completing your site: no need to carry out your concrete yourself! The concrete produced in the plant is quality certified (dosage, storage of elements in suitable dry places, additives in precise quantities, etc.). Therefore, it is the assurance of solid slabs that do not sag or crack over time, unlike the risks presented by those from handcrafted manufacture. Also, the concrete batching plant allows you to transport a large quantity of concrete to the site. For small volumes, delivery by a concrete mixer from 1 m³ is entirely possible. An additional price may nevertheless be requested due to the displacement of the almost empty router. This one can generally contain 7 to 8 m³ of concrete. Using a concrete batching plant, you, therefore, ensure unparalleled durability of your concrete structure while saving time on its completion. The concrete batching plant has automated operations. A control cabinet allows the following steps to be carried out: Weighing control Transport of materials Measurement of the humidity of the concrete Level of fluidity Mixing For each type of concrete, a formula is pre-established, and a program is associated. The professional, therefore, only needs to launch the program corresponding to the customer’s order: type of concrete chosen and quantity   What Are the Components of a Concrete Batching Plant? Posted by: wade - 09-06-2022, 09:09 AM - Forum: concrete machinery - No Replies A traditional concrete batching plant mainly consists of: Cement silo. Equipped with a filter to ensure the best possible quality Aggregate silo. Sand and gravel are transported by truck, train, or boat from the quarries. On arrival, they pass through a hopper before being transported via conveyor belt to this storage silo. Dosing tank Adjuvant tanks. Each contains a different adjuvant: setting accelerator, retarder, and plasticizer. Weighing system Water supply equipment. Consist of a tank and a pump for the transfer of liquids. Concrete mixer Each concrete batching plant component has safety systems preventing any leakage or pollution, whether terrestrial or atmospheric. The cement silo has a dust filter to prevent release into the atmosphere. As for the adjuvant tanks, they are raised and installed themselves in sealed compartments and certified frost-free. The aggregates (sand, gravel, etc.) are first transported to the dosing tank using a silo or a skip (feed bucket mounted on a lifting and tilting system). Then they are weighed by a weighing belt and transported by the conveyor belt to the mixer (or the concrete mixer). The mixture’s various elements are then introduced into the mixer: cement, water, and any additives. The quantities of material and the mixing times depend on the type of concrete produced and its constituents’ characteristics. Once the operation is complete, the mixture is loaded into a mixer truck or transported by concrete mat to the site. In general, the control unit is operated from a control cabinet, mainly allowing: the control of material weighing systems measuring the humidity of the aggregates using hygrometry detectors the water supply dosage according to the desired level of fluidity Note: Some models incorporate a vertical aggregate silo, with the advantage of reducing the plant’s size and the sound volume produced by the flow of materials. Also, more and more mixers are equipped with sealed covers which prevent dust from escaping during mixing. This has the double advantage of improving the quality of the concrete produced and better protecting the environment.   How do concrete batching plants work? Posted by: concretemixer - 09-06-2022, 09:02 AM - Forum: concrete machinery - Replies (1) Before we understand the working or operation of a concrete batch plant.It is important to understand the basic components and structure of a batching plant. We have mobile concrete plants installations in Philippines’s city like: Bulacan, Cavite and Pampanga. It is a machine that combines various ingredients like aggregates, sand, water, cement and additives.These components are first weighed individually and then combined to prepared ready mix concrete. This material prepared is widely used for several types of construction projects. Since the mixing of individual components is by weight it is possible to alter and change weight of individual materials to prepare different grade or quality of concrete. Some of the grades of concrete for India are as 1:3:6, 1:2:4, 1:1:2 etc. Here we express the proportions of the ingredients of the concrete mix in terms of ratios or parts of cement, fine and coarse aggregates. When we talk about 1:3:6, it defines the ratio or parts of cement, fine and coarse aggregates. Meaning the mix material has one part of cement, three parts of fines and six parts of coarse aggregates. The proportion is by weight. concrete batching plant is divided into four parts: gravel feed, powder (cement, fly ash, bulking agents, etc.) to feed, water and feed additives, transmission and storage stirred their workflow shown in Figure 1. , the mixer control system power, into the human – machine dialogue operation interface, system initialization process, including recipe number, grade concrete slump, producers, etc. according to the amount of weight carried on each silo, weighing hoppers. detection, output material or material empty full signal, prompting the operator to determine whether to activate the control program starts stirring sand, stone belt motor fed into the metering hopper; open fly ash, cement tank valve, start the electromechanical screw conveyor ash cement to the metering hopper; open water reservoir and control valves admixture pool water and additives into the metering hopper metered meet the set requirements doo door open metering, mixing the ingredients into the mixer within already started to set. time to open the mixer door, into the concrete mixer had received material.   what kind of PSI does it take to move concrete pump Posted by: wade - 09-06-2022, 08:54 AM - Forum: concrete machinery - Replies (1) my question for you is what kind of PSI does it take to move concrete the way your machines do and do you need to account for any friction loss in the process? I thank you for any and all help that you can give me on this.   How many PSI is a concrete pump? Posted by: askmachinery - 09-06-2022, 08:52 AM - Forum: concrete machinery - Replies (1) Most boom pumps have a piston face pressure from between 700 PSI and 1000 PSI. High-pressure trailer concret pumps can have piston face pressures of over 2000 PSI.   What kind of excavator do you need for different applications? Posted by: askmachinery - 09-06-2022, 08:34 AM - Forum: Excavation machinery - Replies (4) Hydraulic excavator with powerful digging feature Modern hydraulic excavators come with a powerful digging mode. The latest setting delivers the power and response you need for general operation, from excavation to loading and lifting. The large excavator’s digging performance can be further enhanced with different power modes. One of the key benefits of a hydraulic excavator is the ability to achieve motion via hydraulic actuators such as cylinders and swing motors. And when hydraulics are combined with modern technology such as grade control, laser positioning, and GPS, the potential seems almost endless. The vast majority of equipment found on construction sites across the world is propelled by hydraulic power. That includes hydraulic final drive motors that convert hydraulic power to torque to enable track loaders, bulldozers, diggers, and backhoes to carry or push heavy loads. These motors, which are sometimes referred to as track motors, enable tracked excavators, bulldozers, and other tracked machines to keep moving across some of the most difficult surfaces imaginable. Manufacturers are also incorporating more sophisticated hydraulic functions that allow the operator to adjust hydraulic flow to the application. Hydraulic upgrades on the latest models include selectable modes to optimize available hydraulic speed and power, plus a manual throttle dial to adjust engine speed and power as needed. Hydraulic efficiency has been a big concentration point for manufacturers.   What type of pump is a concrete pump? Posted by: concretemixer - 09-06-2022, 07:45 AM - Forum: concrete machinery - No Replies Concrete pumping has become one of the most widely used approaches to place concrete. With the increasing use of pumping to place concrete, the development and refinement of the practice to ensure successful concrete pumping is becoming an important need for the concrete construction industry. Pumping enables the transport of concrete to forms and molds while increasing the speed of delivery and allowing access to hard-to-reach areas. Concrete pumps are likely to vary according to the end-use industry and quality of the concrete required for construction activities. Consequently, the optimization and development of prediction methods for concrete pumping is becoming a crucial issue for the concrete industry.  types used across projects Stationary Concrete Pump The stationary concrete pump is small, light and features a powerful dual-piston pump. It is used for manual, not synchronised additives adding shotcrete and fine concrete. The high diameter cylinder ensures the specified maximum output in the lowest possible strokes per minute, thereby reducing the wear & tear of the pumping system substantially. This pump has a smaller towing length for better manoeuvrability in narrow areas. Equipped with latest S-valve technology (only one side wear and tear) and with highly wear resistant steel components. It has 50–80% more life and reduced towing length for better use in narrow areas. Electro hydraulic control elements are designed and installed for easy access and replacement when necessary to change the parts. Also all the electrical parts aree- asily accessible by opening the control panel lids. Users continue their work quickly on simple faults by changing the necessary part easier rather than changing the integrated unit. Trailer Mounted Concrete Pump These pumps for almost any application, from pressure grouting and shotcreting to placing cement-based overlays and structural concrete. It is used for manual, not synchronised additive adding shotcrete and fine concrete up to a grain size of 16 mm. With a delivery pressure of up to 68 bar and an output of 18 m³/h, it is a real power pump, despite its small dimensions and low weight. The latest models comes mounted on a single axle or multi-axle trailer and high pressure is used to pump the concrete. These trailers are transported to construction sites by attaching them to a suitable vehicle. These are also called stationary or line or static concrete pumps. Truck Mounted Boom Concrete Pump Latest boom pumps feature the robust yet lightweight EZ Clean which is engineered for performance and durability. For added safety, the hopper incorporates an RFID safety switch, preventing it from operating with the grate open and incorporating zero moving parts. There are optional features like pump kits, Concrete stop valves and Automatic lighting systems. With the deck-mounted side pipe rack and large fold-up side panels now standard, these pumps allow for plenty of space and provide a quick, convenient and clean way to store everything that’s required for your project. The latest models use Ergonomic Pump System (EPS), which optimises the pump and other functions. Integral to EPS, Ergonomic Output Control (EOC) reduces fuel consumption, wear and noise, adjusting the engine speed to the delivery rate.  They are set up easily in low overhead clearance conditions. These are used for large projects especially where you need to place concrete in hard-to-reach locations. Truck Mounted Boom Static Pump Modern truck-mounted static pumps are equipped with a carrying capacity of the 100-meter delivery pipeline, an integrated water tank for high-pressure cleaning and a provision for air compressor and pressurised air tank for cleaning of the pipelines These pumps are also much smaller and more compact than their boom pump counterparts, making them much easier to transport and maneuver around a job site. They are also equipped with a water tank and a flushing water pump. Because of its flexibility and lower-volume capacity, you will more commonly use a concrete line pump for pouring concrete on smaller residential jobs, like building a swimming pool or repaving a driveway. Truck Mixer Concrete Pump The robust design and the completely hydraulic mechanical drive of the truck mixer concrete pump guarantee a low – maintenance operation. It can also be equipped and tailored to the individual needs of our customers, with the chassis of your choice and the pump size and mixing drum capacity. It is used in places where truck-mounted concrete pumps are too big and inflexible. It is the ideal equipment for interior refurbishing work. The torsion-resistant, integral frame reduces wear, cuts costs, and ensures stability, especially during the pumping operation. The different configurations of the booms on truck mixer pumps ensure the greatest operative versatility and enable it to reach almost any part of the construction yard, even those accessible with the most difficulty.   How many Types of Block Making Machines Posted by: wade - 09-06-2022, 07:38 AM - Forum: concrete machinery - No Replies Concrete blocks are very popular and are widely used in building construction in the country because of their several benefits, such as durability, strength, structural stability, fire resistance, insulation, and sound absorption.

Posted by: askmachinery - 09-06-2022, 07:32 AM - Forum: concrete machinery - No Replies the method of production of concrete blocks The method of production of concrete blocks includes; Batching and mixing: Mix cement and aggregates using a shovel or mixer until it reaches a homogeneous condition. Moulding: Put the mixture into wooden or steel mould boxes or moulding machines. Demould blocks immediately after compaction. Curing: Cover demoulded blocks with plastic sheets. Keep the concrete blocks moist by keeping them under water in tanks or by regularly spraying them with water for 7 days. Cubing- Racks roll out of a klin where unstacking of all pallets takes place and then passes onto a chain conveyor belt. Storing; Do not expose them to direct sunlight; keep the blocks in a dry and covered area. store for 2 weeks before usage.   How to Choose the Right Concrete Block Making Machine? Posted by: concretemixer - 09-06-2022, 07:28 AM - Forum: concrete machinery - No Replies Careful planning is decisive in the selection of concrete block-making machines. The planning should consider the production requirements and site-specific parameters. The selection of concrete block-making machines depends on various factors as discussed below. Automation There are mainly two types of automation available for concrete block-making machines; fully automatic concrete block-making machines and semi-automatic concrete block-making machines. Production Capacity These machines have different production capacities that may vary in their working areas according to their production capacities. Firms with low production levels generally prefer manual production machines, while firms with high production levels prefer semi-automatic or fully automatic production machines. Production Capacity ranges from 500 per shift. up to 25,00 and per hour. Mobility There are two types of concrete block-making machines based on movability: the stationary type and the mobile type. Mobile concrete block-making machines also known as egg-laying brick-making machines have the capability of moving. A stationary concrete block-making machine needs to be established on a hard, concrete foundation. This machine uses pallets to produce concrete products. Compression Efficiency Compression in the concrete block-making machine is done by employing hydraulic cylinders, which can produce a much stronger block, thus reducing the cement consumption even further.
