Stationary Concrete Batching Plants | Reliable Fixed Concrete Mixing Solutions

What is a Stationary Concrete Batching Plant

A stationary concrete batching plant is a concrete mixing facility built at a fixed location, mainly used in the production of construction materials and the construction engineering field.

The stationary concrete batching plant measures and mixes cement, aggregates (sand and stone), water, and additives according to a certain ratio to produce fresh concrete. Its characteristic is that all components are permanently installed on a pre-prepared concrete foundation, featuring high production capacity and automation, and it is usually not relocated easily.

Stationary Concrete Batching Plants

Stationary concrete batching plants are mainly used as industrial facilities for continuous or large-scale concrete production, widely applied in large infrastructure construction, residential community development, bridge and tunnel projects, and other long-term construction works.

Dry Ready Mix Stationary Plants

The core feature of a dry ready mix stationary concrete batching plant lies in its pre-mixing function. Cement, sand, and aggregate materials are dry-mixed uniformly within the plant to form a consistent dry mix, which is then transported to the construction site. Water is added for secondary mixing before pouring. This production method determines that the equipment composition has distinctive technical characteristics.

Mixing System: Equipped with a twin-shaft compulsory mixer that only performs dry material mixing without complete concrete mixing. No water or admixture metering system is required.
Batching System: Uses PLD series aggregate batchers (such as PLD1200/1600/2400) with high-precision sensors, achieving a weighing accuracy within ±0.5%.
Conveying System: Belt conveyor (for aggregates) + screw conveyor (for powder materials, dust-proof design).
Storage System: Steel or brick-concrete aggregate bins (with vibrators to prevent clogging) and cylindrical powder silos (equipped with pulse dust collectors).
Control System: PLC or industrial computer control supporting full automation. Some equipment includes remote monitoring functionality.

Wet Mix Stationary Plants

The wet mix stationary concrete batching plant adopts an integrated mixing production mode, in which cement, sand, aggregate, water, and admixtures are all mixed together inside the plant according to the designed mix ratio to produce finished concrete. The concrete is then transported to the construction site by mixer trucks for direct use. This production mode requires more complex and complete technical configurations.

Mixing System: Twin-shaft compulsory or planetary mixer, equipped with complete water metering and admixture dosing systems. Mixing shafts often use anti-adhesion technology.
Batching System: In addition to the aggregate batching machine, independent weighing systems for cement, fly ash, water, and admixtures are required. Accuracy requirements: aggregates ±2%, cement/water/admixtures ±1%.
Conveying System: Fully enclosed belt conveyor (with top cover and side sealing skirt). Large plants may also include pneumatic powder conveying systems.
Storage System: Includes aggregate bins, powder silos, and admixture storage tanks. In winter, insulation measures are needed to prevent freezing.
Control System: Supports real-time monitoring of aggregate moisture content and automatically adjusts water dosage. Can be integrated with the mixer truck dispatching system.

Stationary Concrete Batching Plant Working Process

Feeding: Aggregates are loaded into the respective bins by a loader, and powder materials are pumped into silos by bulk trucks.
Weighing: After the operator selects the recipe in the control room, the system automatically controls materials to enter their weighing scales according to preset ratios.
Feeding to mixer: Aggregates are transferred via belt conveyor to the waiting hopper, then combined with powders, water, and admixtures into the mixer.
Mixing: The mixer performs high-intensity mixing within a set time to form uniform concrete.
Discharging: The mixed concrete is discharged through the outlet directly into the waiting concrete mixer truck.
Cycle: The entire process repeats continuously to achieve uninterrupted production.

Key Points for Selecting a Stationary Concrete Batching Plant

When choosing a stationary concrete batching plant, consider:

Project requirements: Total concrete volume, peak demand, and concrete grades needed.
Model selection: Choose capacity based on requirements (e.g., HZS120, HZS180, etc.).
Configuration level: Depending on budget and environmental needs, select standard or high-end configurations (e.g., dust removal, enclosure, wastewater recycling, etc.).
Site planning: Ensure sufficient space for installation, material storage, and vehicle movement.
Brand and after-sales: Choose reputable manufacturers for equipment quality and reliable service.

A stationary concrete batching plant is the core equipment in modern concrete production. With its high efficiency, automation, and excellent environmental performance, it has become the preferred choice for large-scale and industrialized concrete manufacturing.

Notes / Limitations

Compared with small or mobile batching plants, the initial investment is higher (due to foundation work, site preparation, and larger equipment).

Lower flexibility: Once installed, relocation is difficult, so site selection and permanence are crucial.
Requires proper site preparation (foundation, utilities, dust control, environmental considerations).
Operation and maintenance: Requires trained operators and regular maintenance of conveyors, mixers, and dust collection systems.
For smaller-scale or short-term projects, it is not the best choice compared with mobile or compact plants.
