The working principle of the concrete batching plant involves several steps, each playing a crucial role. Below is a detailed explanation of each step:
Loader loads aggregates onto the concrete batching machine: The loader transports pre-prepared aggregates into the hopper of the concrete batching machine. These aggregates are typically pre-mixed in specific proportions to ensure the quality of the final concrete.
Aggregate batching machine weighs aggregates separately: The aggregate batching machine weighs each type of aggregate separately to ensure accuracy and consistency in batching. This process is automated and operated according to the specified mix proportions.
Belt conveyor transports aggregates to the concrete mixer hopper: The aggregates are transported to the mixer hopper via a belt conveyor, ready for mixing.
Concrete Mixer lifting bucket ascends along the track to prepare for feeding: The lifting bucket of the concrete mixer ascends along the track, allowing for the introduction of aggregates and cement into the concrete mixer. This process ensures the height and accuracy of the feeding.
Hopper begins feeding: The hopper starts feeding aggregates and cement into the concrete mixer. This process requires uniformity and controlled speed to ensure the quality of mixing.
Cement and water scales weigh and feed respectively: Cement and water are typically weighed and fed according to predetermined proportions to ensure the accuracy of concrete batching.
Concrete Mixer starts mixing aggregates: Once all materials are introduced into the mixer, the mixer starts working to mix the materials thoroughly. This process typically lasts for a set duration to ensure thorough mixing.
Simultaneously, the concrete mixer lifting bucket returns to the hopper pit, preparing for the next feeding: Once mixing is complete, the lifting bucket of the concrete mixer returns to the hopper pit, ready for the next feeding cycle.
Concrete Mixer begins discharging, with the discharge gate opened by the discharge cylinder, and concrete is discharged into the concrete transport truck: After mixing, the concrete mixer begins discharging, with the discharge gate opened by the discharge cylinder to allow the concrete to be discharged into the concrete transport truck for transportation to the construction site or other destinations.
These steps ensure the efficient and stable production of concrete in the concrete batching plant, while maintaining quality and accuracy throughout the batching and mixing process.
