Dry Type Concrete Batching Plant

Mixerless Design, Maximum Flexibility

Dry-type concrete batching plants are specialized designs that, unlike standard wet-type batching plants, do not include a mixer unit. In these batching plants, aggregate, cement, and optional powder additives are precisely weighed and loaded directly into the transit mixer without mixing. The water and liquid additives required for the mix are added during the transit mixer's journey to the job site or at the site.

Working Principle: Mixer-free, Fast and Flexible Production

The dry-type batching plant's operating process focuses on speed and flexibility. Aggregate and cement are precisely weighed according to the recipe on scales controlled by an automated system. Once weighed, the materials are discharged directly into the transit mixer beneath the batching plant via a belt conveyor. Water is added to the transit mixer on-site using precise measuring systems such as pulse meters. This method prevents the concrete from setting (beginning to harden), especially when it must be transported long distances.

Basic Advantages and Areas of Use

• Low Investment Cost: Since there is no mixer unit and related equipment, the initial investment cost is lower.
• High Capacity: Because there is no mixing time, production and loading can be much faster, making them ideal for high-tonnage projects.
• Flexibility: It provides flexibility in projects where concrete needs to be transported long distances, without the risk of setting on the way.
• Ideal for RCC Projects: It is the most preferred plant type for Roller Compacted Roller-Compacted Concrete (RCC) (RCC) projects, especially used in dam and road construction.
