Hopper batching plant is a small type of concrete plant, why name it hopper? Because there is a procedure that aggregate lifting is through a hopper, which differs from the large commercial concrete batching plant. And this type of small concrete batching plant has characteristics of small volume, small land occupation, simple operation, quick installation, easy maintenance, and automatic control

Introduction to hoppers batching plant:

A Concrete Batching Plant, also known as a batch plant or batching plant or a concrete batching plant, is a device that combines various ingredients to form concrete. Some of these inputs include sand, water, aggregate (rocks, gravel, etc.), fly ash, potash, and cement. There are two types of Concrete Batching Plant: Dry mix plants and Wet mix plants. A Concrete Batching Plant can have a variety of parts and accessories, including: mixers, cement batchers, aggregate batchers, conveyors, radial stackers, aggregate bins, cement bins, heaters, chillers, cement silos, Concrete Batching Plant controls, and dust collectors (to minimize environmental pollution). The center of the Concrete Batching Plant is the mixer. There are many types of mixer like Tilt, Pan, Planetary, Single Shaft and twin shaft mixer. The twin shaft mixer can ensure an even mixture of concrete and large output, while the planetary mixer can reduce the maintenance time and fees.

Capacity of Concrete Batching Plant is 25 m3 per hour – 240 m3 per hour.

Lifting way of aggregate is the main Distinguishing feature except Concrete Batching Plant capacity.

Conveying System

The unique design of the batch hopper and track of the bucket elevator can conveniently and efficiently contain and dump aggregates, which can save one-half to two-thirds of the site area compared with the usual inclined belt conveying method.
The screw conveyor adopts quality steel pipe with good rigidity. Double-pitch blades reduce the degree of compression of material transportation; high-quality gearbox, heavy-duty design, high torque, and low noise; optional universal ball joints make it easy to install and adjust steering. What’s more, it is equipped with high-quality mid-lift bearings and tail bearings, which are easy to install.

It is also equipped with a complete printing system and an advanced TV monitoring system, which can monitor important systems such as aggregate batching and concrete discharge in time. It is also equipped with a lighting system and a communication system to make the whole set of skip hoist type concrete batching plant more complete. It can also store and print report data.

Weighing System

The sensor has features of accurate weighing and quick responding, which is the primary link to realize automatic detection and automatic control.
The pneumatic butterfly valve has characteristics of good sealing performance, reliable action, simple structure, small volume, lightweight, and cost-effectiveness.

Pneumatic System

The pneumatic system is the action execution device of the skip hoist concrete mixing plant. Its function is to open and close the doors in time according to the instructions issued by the microcomputer, break the cement in the cement storage silo, blow and mix the additives, and ensure precise measurement of aggregates, cement, and additives, and complete the task of loading finished materials.
