As a name itself suggests that dry mix plants produce the recipes which are dry before dispatching them onto the transit mixer. All the needed materials such as sand, cement and aggregates are weighed & then inserted into the transit mixer. Water is then added into a transit mixer. The concrete is completely mixed in a mixer.
A dry type batching plant is a special machine that is very different from some of the other conventional machines as it does not comprise of any concrete mixers. The mixing trucks carry out this process of mixing and the operation is quite thorough without any error. Aggregate weight of cement, water, etc. is automatically measured and is then poured into the mixer truck. In the dry batching plant, the ingredients are first discharged into a chute before being transferred to the concrete mixer truck. It has a very strong build that makes it competent to perform heavy duty operations.
Dry Mix Concrete Batching Plant is a kind of concrete plant for special application that is utilized in projects with low concrete quality requirements and long distances. Compared with wet concrete plant, the dry concrete batching plant mixes concrete by concrete truck mixer, so it also be called as “Transit Mix Concrete Batch Plant”. When the dry concrete batching plant working, each system feeds the weighed aggregates into the storage hopper, then loading the material into the truck mixer,and finally add water and other additives in the truck mixer. The concrete truck mixer controls the rotation of the tank at a speed of at least 70 revolutions per minute to achieve the purpose of mixing.
