DRAG LINE
• The drag line is so name because of its prominent
operation of dragging the bucket against the material to
be dug.

• Unlike the shovel, it has a long light crane boom and the
bucket is loosely attached to the boom through cables.

• Because of this construction, a dragline can dig and

dump over larger distances than a shovel can do.

• Drag lines are useful for digging below its track level and
handling softer materials.

CONCRETE BATCHERS

A concrete batching plant machine mixes various ingredients to make

concrete. These materials include water, air, aggregates, cement and fly
ash.
It consists of a variety of parts and machine mixer units, conveyors,
aggregate and cement batchers, cement silos etc.
A concrete batching plant is a machine in which ingredients of concrete
are mixed and blended homogeneously to obtain concrete of desired
strength and quality.
The plants can be used wet or dry and has a wide array of configurations
and production types including Ready Mix, Precast & Prestressed, Central
Mix, and RCC.

ADVANTAGES OF CONCRETE
BATCHING PLANTS
Preparing ready mix concrete on the construction site is a time-consuming
process. You can eliminate your construction cost by using a batching plant for
your project. Each load of concrete is produced on-site. The production and
delivery are done in minutes when we use a concrete batching plant. Adjust
your concrete production as per the requirements and get the most out of it.
There are several benefits that the concrete batching plant has to offer to
construction workers:
•Mixing raw materials with stable, advanced production technology, using
computer control, accurate measurement, testing means complete, stable
and reliable quality, rich high strength, thus greatly improving the
construction quality level building (structure).
•Construction units use commercial mixing stations, the construction speed
increases, reducing equipment, racks, pipes, templates and other turnover
rental costs; owners of units can shorten the construction cycle, reduce
investment risk.
76

 23/10/2024

ADVANTAGES OF CONCRETE
BATCHING PLANTS
•Due to the stable and reliable quality of the commercial mixing plant, the
design unit can avoid the “fat beam”, “fat column” and “heavy plate”
according to the design of the mixing station”.
•The mix mixing station using mineral active admixtures (slag and fly ash and
admixture, etc.) can greatly improve the long-term performance of concrete
waterproof, antifreeze, anti cracking and abrasion resistance, and can
improve the service life of a building.
•Improves the construction organization, reduces labor intensity, reduces
construction management costs, technical difficulty and quality risk.

MOBILE CONCRETE BATCHING PLANT

Modern mobile plants come with a stable main chassis allowing extreme durability, safe
transportation, continuous long-life operation and sensitive weighing by minimizing the
vibrations to the scales.
All the equipment necessary for the operation of the batch plant is installed on the main
chassis and is being transported on it.
Water buffer tank, water pump, additive tank and additive pumps along with air
compressor come preinstalled on the main chassis. All the equipment is pre-wired and
tested.
Concrete plants with 2 complete sets of screw conveyors, filters and other silo equipment
can be transported with the help of only one single trailer truck. Mobile concrete batching
plants come pre-wired with maximum equipment installed to ensure fast installation on
site.
Typically a standard mobile plant can be installed in 1-2 days. There has also been the
development of Containerized concrete batching plants recently. The containerized
concrete batch plant is a new type of batching plant.
It consists of a mixing system, control system, material storage system, weighing system,
conveying system and others.
Also, the container mixing plant owns the features such as small footprint, quick
installation, convenient transportation and so on. Compared with the traditional concrete
plant, the container mixing plant does not need to set the legs and mounting brackets,
eliminating basic design and construction.

STATIONARY CONCRETE BATCHING PLANT

Stationary Plants are often composed of huge twin shaft mixers that are
designed to work at full capability, efficiency and reliability for a variety of
large-scale and high-quality concrete production. Stationary concrete
production equipment is built to offer maximum rated production capacity
and long work hours. The new models are furnished mainly with twin shaft
mixers for maximized capacity, the plants are also available with Planetary
mixers and batch sizes could be modified. The Stationary Plants are
available in various capacities ranging from 30 m3 to 240 m3 per hour of
compacted concrete output. In the current Stationary concrete plants, the
aggregates are stored in horizontal bins. The gathering conveyor belt runs
below the bins where the weighing of aggregates takes place and the
aggregates are then discharged onto the charging conveyor. Pneumatically
operated gates are provided for discharge of the aggregate onto the
gathering conveyor. The material is all weighed accurately and transferred
to the twin shaft mixer through a slinger conveyor. The new batching plants
also come with the Skip Hoist and Belt arrangement option for mixer
loading. The news models can adopt silica dosing and some special
additives very easily.

TRANSIT/ DRY MIX CONCRETE BATCHING PLANT

If there is a quite long distance to the construction site, a dry concrete

batching plant is an ideal choice for the manufacturers. On the way to the
construction site, the drum of a mixer truck can keep rotating to prevent the
mixed concrete from hardening and ensure the freshness of the materials.
Dry concrete batching plants have sand, gravel, and cement feeding to
batching plants that pass the numerical or manual scale. Modern-day dry
mix concrete plant consists of the cement silos, feeding system, control
system, weighing system and mixing system. Cement silos are the container
to keep and supply raw materials such as cement, sand, and fly ash
according to the necessity of the production. The feeding system is a bridge
to connect the aggregates and the mixing system. The accuracy of the
weighing system determines the quantity of the mixed materials, so it has a
great effect on the quality of mixed concrete. The mixing system just mixes
the materials without water. As a result, the mixer truck is important to
convey and mix the concrete. The control system is the core of the whole
plant. Workers operate the concrete equipment in the control room so the
full-automation can be achieved.

83

WET MIX CONCRETE BATCHING PLANT

Wet mix batch concrete plant is easy to transport and install due to
its portable movement. Wet mix concrete batching plants can be
classified into two types: stationary type wet concrete plant and
mobile type wet mix concrete batch plant. If you have many
construction projects to finish, and the distance is far away from each
other, you can invest in several small stationary wet batch plant,
otherwise, you can choose one big mobile type wet batching plant,
when you finish this project, you can disassemble this plant, then
transport it to another project site. Latest-model adopts a twin shaft
paddle mixer, which has a strong mixing quality. This can ensure there
is no or less residual in the twin shaft concrete mixer, save materials
and save cost. With a Central Mix plant, all loads see the same mixing
action and there is an initial quality control point when discharging
from the central mixer.

repairs to long cracks and joints in the road. The latest product models
include self-contained on-board emulsion and aggregate. The digital
display guides operators, and pre-set emulsion and aggregate amount
speed the process. The unique design allows the machine to transport
hot or cold asphalt premix material and road oils at controlled heated
temperatures. The machines are fully equipped for complete asphalt
patching and can be mounted on any chassis. Each unit is easy to
operate, easy to maintain, and designed so that just one person can
tackle patching jobs with just one machine. These machines can also be
used to repair road shoulders and utility cuts, as well as spread salt,
sand and chippings.

ASPHALT CRACK FILLING MACHINE

Asphalt filling machines are mainly used for repairing the crack of
road, pavement, driveway, parking lot, highway and other asphalt
surfaces. In modern machines, there is no need to do any demolition
or removal of the asphalt which cuts down on the volume of asphalt
repair material required. Modern machines are engineered and
designed to melt down rubber cubes of hot pour crack filler and apply
it at walking speed. The 10-gallon melter and applicator crack fill
machine is a safe and fast way to crack fill. No more transferring
molten crack filler from a melting kettle to a pour pot. It comes
standard with on-the-fly paddle agitator on the handlebars, which
allows you to agitate the crack filler while pushing the machine. The
agitator mixes the crack filler in the kettle so it melts faster and
prevents blockage in the drain valve inside the kettle. Crack sealing
machine comes with oil-jacketed melter applicators for hot rubberized
asphalt crack sealing materials.

machines are equipped with a wheeled chassis and a milling
drum positioned at the rear. The granulated RAP which is broken
up by the rotating milling drum is transferred to a slewing and
height-adjustable discharge conveyor and immediately loaded
onto waiting transport vehicles. The compact rear loaders are
highly maneuverable and their rear right wheel can be swiveled in
when milling flush to the edges of obstacles. A variety of different
milling drums are available, enabling the small milling machines to

exact cornering and a soft start. This system offers the optimum
prerequisites for a smooth and even mat. The large contact area of the
crawler tracks together with an optimal machine weight distribution
enables a highly effective paving process even on bases with a poor
bearing capacity. Modern asphalt o pavers are designed to require very
low maintenance. Easy access to all maintenance points saves time. The
entire electronics are installed in an easily accessible switch cabinet.
Lifetime lubricated crawler tracks with automatic tensioning system and
maintenance-free bearings for the screed tamper and vibrator reduce
maintenance work.

COLD RECYCLER MACHINES

Cold Recycler machines are applied to different structures road
base lays including that of bitumen cement, bitumen-soil,
cement-stabilizing-macadam, etc. Modern machines come with a
highly precise (water) injection system that uses electronic
controllers, with digital display, most types of Recyclers have
configured with self- priming pumps. Different gears options for
working speed, designed for difficult working conditions of roads,
gears options for travel speed are also available for different
travel demands between job sites and different job working
conditions. Milling and mixing rotor drive, operating drive and
injection system all use the full hydraulic system, this ensures a
higher and more reliable performance of the whole machine.
