Concrete mixer plant specifications include the plant's capacity, the type of mixer, and the storage and feeding systems.

Concrete mixer plant specifications include the plant's capacity, the type of mixer, and the storage and feeding systems. 

Capacity

Concrete mixer plants are specified by their theoretical production per hour. For example, a plant might be rated at HZS25, HZS35, HZS50, and so on. 

The capacity of a concrete mixer plant can vary from 30 cubic meters to 60 cubic meters per hour. 

Mixer type

Concrete mixer plants can have tilt drum mixers, horizontal mixers, or both. 

The mixer rotates at high speeds to mix cement, water, and air to create a homogeneous mixture. 

Storage and feeding systems 

Concrete mixer plants include aggregate bins, cement bins, conveyors, and radial stackers.

The storage and feeding systems store and transport the materials needed to make concrete.

Other parts 

Concrete mixer plants may also include heaters, chillers, cement silos, batch plant controls, and dust collectors.

Concrete mixer plants can impact the environment through dust emissions, noise, and waste. Environmental monitoring for concrete mixer plants can include: 

Air quality: Monitoring dust, particulate matter, and other pollutants in the air 

Water quality: Monitoring the quality of water used in the mixing process and ensuring that wastewater is treated and disposed of properly 

Noise levels: Monitoring noise levels and taking action to reduce them 

Waste management: Monitoring the amount of waste generated and ensuring that it is reduced, reused, or disposed of properly 

Temperature and strength: Monitoring the temperature and strength of concrete in real-time 

Concrete quality: Monitoring the quality of concrete produced in real-time 

Concrete mixer plants can also be monitored for compliance with local and national regulations. 

How to reduce the environmental impact of concrete mixer plants 

Use filters to reduce dust emissions

Keep equipment clean

Use electric-powered equipment instead of diesel-powered ones

Use materials that don't harm the environment

Update machines to use less energy

Use barriers to block sound

Keep noisy work to certain times

Establish a wastewater treatment system
