A mobile batching plant is a highly integrated concrete production system designed for flexible relocation. Unlike traditional stationary concrete batching plants, it combines the aggregate feeding system, weighing system, main mixer, storage, discharge, and fully automated control system into a single trailer-mounted unit. This design allows the entire plant to be transported and set up quickly at different sites. Despite its mobility, a mobile plant can produce high-grade concrete while offering advantages such as a small footprint, compact structure, easy installation, and flexible movement.
The mobile concrete plant is specifically developed for projects requiring frequent site relocation, short construction cycles, or long construction lines. It is particularly suitable for highways, railways, bridges, ports, subways, suburban construction, and water conservancy projects. While maintaining the full functionality of a traditional concrete batching plant, it also provides easy assembly and disassembly, convenient storage management, and highly efficient relocation, making it ideal for mobile or multi-site construction scenarios.
If you need a flexible and efficient solution for producing concrete at multiple locations, AGICO’s mobile batching plants for sale may be the right choice. We offer custom solutions to meet various industry needs, with capacities ranging from 25 m³/h to 180 m³/h.
Main Types of Mobile Batching Plants
1. Forced Mobile Batching Plants
- Production Capacity: 25–180 m³/h
- Mixer Type: Twin-shaft mixer or planetary mixer
Key Components:
Main Chassis:
- Cantilever structure integrating the towing hitch, support legs, mixer platform, cement, water, and admixture weighing systems, as well as inspection walkways and guardrails.
- The fully integrated control room is mounted on the chassis, housing the same fully automatic control system as a stationary plant. It serves as a support during operation and folds during transport. No need to disconnect wiring during relocation.
Aggregate Batching System:
- Located at the rear of the plant. The upper section consists of aggregate (sand, stone) storage bins, typically divided into 2–4 compartments with optional extension plates to increase capacity.
- Pneumatic gates operate sequentially for material release. Aggregate weighing can be done using cumulative measurement for multiple materials.
- The base includes a walking axle and structural support legs for operation.
Conveyor Frame:
- Truss structure connecting the main chassis and aggregate batching frame.
- Contains belt conveyor assemblies, integrating the main chassis, belt conveyor, and batching frame into a single unified mobile plant structure.
External Components:
- Cement silos and screw conveyors remain fully mounted during transport, requiring no disassembly.
- Mixing Unit:
- Forced twin-shaft concrete mixers ensure rapid and uniform mixing of both flowable and stiff concrete.
- Planetary mixers can also be selected according to customer requirements.
2. Drum-Type Mobile Batching Plants
- Production Capacity: 35–90 m³/h
- Mixer Type: Drum Concrete Mixer
Core Structure:
- Aggregate System: External batching devices and belt conveyors deliver accurately weighed sand and stone aggregates to the mixer.
- Pre-Mixing Hopper: Stores pre-weighed and pre-mixed aggregates to ensure correct proportioning and efficient feed.
- Mixer Platform: Equipped with a drum mixer. Upper-mounted weighing devices accurately measure cement, water, and admixtures, synchronizing with aggregates for uniform mixing.
Features:
- Precise Measurement: Cement, water, and aggregates can be weighed separately for accurate concrete mix ratios.
- Efficient Conveying: Belt conveyor with anti-spill chain design ensures stable, reliable material transport.
- Smart Control: Fully automatic control system for easy operation and high efficiency.
- Quick Installation: Pin-connected modular structure allows fast on-site assembly without extensive calibration.
Mobility:
- Dual-Axle Chassis: Easy towing and stable transport.
- Rapid Relocation: Whole unit can move quickly between sites, ideal for projects with tight schedules or multiple locations.
3. Mobile Self-Loading Concrete Mixer
A self-loading mobile concrete mixer integrates loader, batching, mixing, and concrete transporting functions into a single unit.
Features:
- Self-Sufficient Operation: Can load, mix, and transport concrete without additional machinery.
- High Automation: Ensures consistent concrete quality and stable mixing performance.
- Versatile Water Supply: Equipped with water tank and pump, can source water from any available supply.
- Compact Design: Suitable for constrained urban sites or remote locations.
- Cost-Effective: Ideal for small to medium contractors, eliminating the need for separate batching and transport equipment.
Why Invest in Mobile Batching Plants?
Reason 1: Intelligent Control
- Fully Automated Operation: The system can switch between automatic and manual modes, making it easy to operate.
- Real-Time Monitoring: Dynamic panels display the operational status of each component for better management.
- Data Management: Production reports and batching records can be stored, queried, and printed, greatly improving production management efficiency.
- High Precision & Low Failure Rate: Core electrical components, gear reducers, and metering sensors use imported equipment to ensure high accuracy and reliability.
Reason 2: Modular Design & Easy Installation
- Highly Integrated: The trailer-type design integrates the mixer, batching conveyor, weighing system, screw conveyor, and powder silo into one unit.
- Pre-Connected at Factory: Control cabinets, air circuits, and electrical wiring are tested before leaving the factory, eliminating the need to disconnect and reconnect on site.
- Quick Installation: Mechanical structures use pin-type connections, and water, electricity, and air all use quick connectors. The plant can start production the same day on a flat and solid surface.
- No Complex Foundation Required: Unlike stationary plants, minimal civil works are needed, saving construction time and cost.
Reason 3: Flexible & Efficient Mobility
- Wheels & Towing System: Easy to move with a towing vehicle, allowing flexible relocation.
- Integrated Movement: Main unit and accessories can move together without disassembly, improving operational efficiency.
- High-Speed Relocation: Can be towed up to 60 km/h, greatly reducing transfer time between sites.
