Top 10 Concrete Batching Plant Manufacturers Worldwide
A concrete batching plant, short for concrete plant, is construction material production equipment that combines water, aggregate (rocks, gravel, sand, etc.), cement, fly ash proportionally to create concrete. Concrete plants consist of cement silos, aggregate feeding system, control system, weighing system and mixing system. All concrete plants can be categorized into four types: dry mix plant, wet mix plant, stationary plant and mobile plant.
People have been clearly aware of an increasingly obvious trend around the world — infrastructure construction will once again enter a period of prosperity. Even though so powerful is the United States, the Biden administration recently cast a $2 trillion infrastructure proposal. China, referred to as the "infrastructure madman", will continue to increase its infrastructure construction. Other countries, especially those developing countries with strong economic vitality, will not slacken their efforts to improve infrastructure and serve the people's livelihood. We can see this trend from global hot sales of batching plants in recent years.
Contractors of roads, bridges, highways, high-speed rail and other infrastructure projects and some companies specializing in the sale of concrete mixtures mostly choose local manufacturers. Therefore, concrete batching plant manufacturers in India, South Africa, Australia, Canada, Turkey, Malaysia, China and some other countries have increased year by year. Their manufacturing process, price positioning, product quality, and marketing are so various that buyers need to be cautious, have to investigate more manufacturers and give careful consideration before they make up their minds to purchase construction materials manufacturing equipment.
Top 10 Concrete Batching Plant Manufacturers
Choosing the right manufacturer is always the core of purchasing a batch plant, followed by price, capacity, model, etc. Here we summarize and list the top ten concrete batching plant manufacturers in the world based on production history, manufacturing experience, creativity, brand influence, product reputation and price competitiveness. We hope to give you some valuable reference before you buy the equipment.
1. ACE Group, Avantgarde Vibration Mixing Technique Promoter
Owning the cutting-edge patented vibration concrete mixer, ACE Group fully deserves the position on the league table. The reason is not only that mixer is the most essential component of a concrete production plant, but also it will probably spark a dramatic change to the construction material manufacturing industry.
The unique part of ACE vibration mix concrete plant is the mixer. With specially designed vibrators Installed on the shafts of common twin-shaft mixer, the vibrator generates exciting force while shafts and paddles are rotating, stirring and shattering materials like gravel, sand, cement, fly ash, water and additives. With this impact, cement is free of clot and more solid adhesion with water and other aggregates comes into being.
The final mixture of the vibration mix RMC plant can satisfy the diverse requirements regardless of how high-end they are. Because applying vibration mixer can improve the strength of concrete by 8%, reduce the batch circle by 20%, save cement and additives consumption by 5%, and increase concrete structure durability by 50%.
Vibration Concrete Mixer's Advantages
| Mixer Type | Traditional Twin-Shaft Mixer | Vibration Mixer |
| Homogeneity | Standard | Improved, Less Dispersion Coefficient |
| Interface and Strength | Interface bonding strength are weak, concrete strength is OK. | Interface bonding strength are enhanced, concrete strength increased by 8%. |
| Cement Utilization Rate | About 10% ~ 30% cement powder not hydrate with water and forming agglomeration. | Cement powder fully hydrate with water and evenly distributed, cement utilization rate is improved. |
| Air Voids | Air content of concrete is about 1.8%, air voids are big and of irregular shape. | Air voids are spherical and smaller. |
| Concrete Workability | Meet the basic requirement. | Better adhesion and workability, free of bleeding and segregation. |
| Application Range | Produce common concrete | Produce common concrete and SFRC, UHPC, RCC, CA and other special concrete. |
Those contractors who need to produce or cannot attain a substantial amount of high-class concrete are recommended to make the vibration mix concrete plant the first choice.
Other than the unique plants, ACE Group, one of the leading road construction equipment manufacturers, suppliers, and exporters in China, offers quality asphalt plants, road-building vehicles, dry mortar production lines, and so on.
