What are mobile concrete batch plants?
A mobile concrete batching plant is a highly integrated piece of equipment that combines raw material storage, conveying, weighing, mixing, and control functions. With advantages such as “trailer-mounted mobility,” “quick installation and commissioning,” and “easy relocation,” it is especially suitable for projects with tight schedules, scattered construction sites, and limited space. Common applications include rural roads, municipal repairs, culverts and bridges, water conservancy projects, and temporary concrete supply operations.
Process Flow
Aggregate Feeding: Aggregates such as sand and gravel are fed into the batching machine using a loader.
Aggregate Weighing: The batching machine automatically weighs materials according to the preset mix design.
Cement Feeding: Cement is delivered to the mixer via a screw conveyor from the cement silo.
Water and Admixture Supply: Water and admixtures are precisely measured and pumped into the system.
Mixing: All materials enter the mixer and are mixed uniformly.
Discharge: The mixed concrete is discharged into a transit mixer or receiving hopper.
The entire process is managed by a PLC-based control system to ensure both mixing quality and production efficiency.
Product Types
Trailer-Mounted Mobile Batching Plant: All components are mounted on a single chassis with towing capability.
Modular Mobile Batching Plant: Consists of several quickly-connectable modules for easy transport and field assembly.
Foundation-Free Mobile Batching Plant: Equipped with supporting legs or steel skid base for direct installation on level ground.
Product Features
Fast Relocation: Compact structure and quick setup, ideal for frequent site changes.
Highly Integrated: Combines weighing, conveying, mixing, and control functions in one unit, saving space.
Flexible Configuration: Single or twin-shaft mixers, wet or dry mixing systems optional based on need.
Energy Efficient: Optimized power system ensures lower operational costs.
User-Friendly Operation: Supports both automatic and manual modes with an intuitive control interface.
Durable & Eco-Friendly: Sealed design minimizes dust emission; structure is corrosion- and rust-resistant.
Selection Tips
When selecting a mobile batching plant, consider the following:
Daily Production Requirements: Choose according to capacity needs such as 20m³/h, 35m³/h, 60m³/h, etc.
Mixer Model: Typically equipped with JS series twin-shaft mixers (e.g., JS500, JS750, JS1000).
Transport and Installation Conditions: Consider whether frequent relocation or cross-region transport is needed.
Project Duration & Site Conditions: Temporary sites benefit from quick-assembly modular types.
Power Supply: If no stable power source is available, reserve space for a generator.
Control Requirements: Decide if remote monitoring or cloud data management is needed.
Export Transportation Methods
Due to varying traffic regulations, transport methods, and site conditions in different countries, mobile concrete batching plants are generally shipped using containerized transport or trailer-mounted transport.
Containerized Transport is the most commonly used method for overseas export. The plant is modularly designed for disassembly and packed into standard shipping containers (such as 20GP, 40HQ, or OT open-top containers) for cross-border sea transport. It features compact structure, efficient packing, easy customs clearance, and suitability for international logistics. This method is ideal for regions with good sea access, such as Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Africa, South America, and other locations where over-dimensional road transport is restricted.
Trailer-Mounted Transport, on the other hand, involves mounting all functional units of the plant on a chassis with wheels and a towing system, allowing the whole station to be transported as a single unit. It eliminates the need for disassembly and enables fast relocation and immediate operation upon arrival. This method is especially suitable for countries that permit road towing, such as Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Russia, Central Asian countries, and certain inland African nations. It’s ideal for mobile construction projects such as roads and water conservancy where frequent relocation and short construction cycles are required.
