Concrete batching refers to the process of measuring materials to prepare concrete mix. Mobile concrete batching plants are portable and cost effective pieces of equipment used in the production of concrete on-site. Due to their portability, mobile concrete batching machines can be transported to any location where concrete batches are needed. These machines can be used dry or wet, and come in various configurations. Regardless of the type or configuration you decide to buy, there are various reasons that make mobile concrete batching machines worth the investment.
Here are some reasons why investors should consider investing in a mobile concrete batching machine.
Mobility
Mobile concrete batching plants are concrete mixing and measuring equipment(equipo de mezcla y medición de hormigón) that are suitable for use in construction projects that require frequent transitions and have a short construction period. These plants can be transported to any construction site since their central unit can easily be transported using a truck tractor.
Quick Setup
Besides their mobility, mobile concrete batching plants are easy and quick to assemble/install, translocate, and disassemble. This makes them flexible construction machines that can be used for almost any construction project. What’s more, mobile concrete batching plants require less installation space, which means they can be used on any site regardless of the size.
Efficiency
Generally, using a mobile concrete batching plant for your construction project is more efficient than using other concrete production methods. These machines reduce the manual input required to produce concrete and also ensures that concrete is produced consistently in terms of quality and quantity(calidad y cantidad), and when needed.
Cost and Time Effective
Project managers are often faced with the dilemma of whether to outsource ready-mixed concrete or use a concrete batching machine at the construction site. The decision will mainly depend on the location of the site and where the central concrete plant is located as well. Where such a plant is located an hour or two from the construction site, investing in a mobile concrete batching plant would be more economical in terms of money and time.
Transporting ready-mixed concrete from a place away from the construction site would definitely take more time than preparing the concrete on-site. This would also mean transportation costs, which would even be higher if the cost of retarders and additional admixture to prevent the setting of the concrete are included. Concrete that has to be transported to the construction site generally incurs fuel costs.
Using a mobile concrete batching plant(Utilizando una planta portátil) also minimizes wastage of materials, thanks to its onboard computer control systems that help achieve precision in concrete production.
Consistency
Mobile concrete batching plants ensure consistency of concrete volumes produced as well as the concrete quality. This means that with these machines, project managers can meet daily quantities of concrete needed. Besides the quantity, mobile concrete batching plants ensure timely delivery of concrete.
Generally, these machines guarantee uniform quality of concrete at the exact time it is needed and in the right quantity
Mobile concrete batching are essential construction machines for concrete measuring and production. Particularly, they prove to be great investments for their flexibility, ease of setup, efficiency, cost and time effectiveness, and consistency.
