the total
cost for a
concrete plant depends on its type (ready mix, central mix, mobile/stationary, production capacity, the current
cost of raw materials and other expenses like labor and estimated hours in operation. Location sometimes imposes influences on it as well. Some crucial factors you'll need to account for are listed as follows.
1. Production Capacity
The production capacity of
concrete mixing plant is different, the
cost that needs to be invested is different. One is the device itself. The greater the production capacity of the equipment, the higher the procurement
cost; second, the different production capacity means that the demand for raw materials such as cement, gravel, sand, and fly ash is different, which will lead to an increase in the capital investment of the entire project. The production capacity of
concrete mixing
plants for small and medium-sized projects is below 90m³/h, and the production capacity of
concrete mixing
plants required for large-scale production is usually 120m³/h-270m³/h.
2. Type and Model
To invest in a
concrete mixing plant, you must first determine what type and model of equipment you need. The prices of different
concrete mixing
plants are different, and the gap is not small. Customers can choose the equipment model according to their actual situation, choose the model and choose the
cost-effective equipment.
3. Site Construction Expense
In addition to the
concrete manufacturing equipment, the initial investment required to set up a
concrete plant also includes the
cost of the site, the construction of office buildings and dormitories, and the
cost of building a closed material yard in order to meet environmental protection standards.
4. Operation
Cost
The later operation of the
concrete mixing
plant includes water and electricity
costs, personnel wages, raw material procurement
costs, loaders, and
concrete transportation vehicles, which should be considered before investment.
5. Various Handling Fees
Investing in a
concrete batch plant requires going through various procedures, and these procedures are also
costly. These also need to be budgeted as the investment
cost of building the mixing
plant.
There is another point that needs to be paid attention to.
The investment
cost of commercial
concrete batching plant is higher than general engineering
concrete mixing
plant. The engineering
concrete mixing station shall meet the needs of the project, and unnecessary functions can be discarded, as long as the quality of the
concrete meets the needs of the project. The commercial
concrete batching plant must be able to produce
concrete with a variety of common labels,and sometimes needs to meet the special needs of users. The control system needs to be fully automatic, and it also needs to have a storage function in order to improve work efficiency.
