A mobile concrete batching plant is a type of concrete production equipment designed for rapid relocation. It integrates raw material storage, weighing, conveying, mixing, discharging, and a fully automatic control system into one unit, allowing concrete to be produced and supplied directly at the construction site. This setup effectively avoids time loss and additional costs associated with transportation. While the operation process, control mode, and maintenance methods are the same as stationary batching plants, the mobile plant offers greater flexibility and convenience, featuring quick assembly/disassembly, easy mobility, and simplified storage and management.
The entire system is mounted on a semi-trailer chassis. Except for the cement silo and screw conveyor, all pipelines and circuits are pre-designed and connected with quick couplings for fast on-site installation. AGICO’s mobile concrete batching plants offer a production capacity range of 25–180 m³/h and can be customized to meet specific customer requirements.
Two structural forms are available:
- Trailer Type: Equipped with complete front and rear axles.
- Towed Type: Supported by a tractor unit at the front end.
All products are manufactured in strict compliance with international standards and undergo comprehensive testing before delivery to ensure stability and reliability.

Why Do Prices of Mobile Concrete Batching Plants Vary?
The price differences of mobile concrete batching plants essentially reflect variations in production capacity, automation level, engineering design, and operational convenience.
These price differences are primarily determined by the technical configuration and structural design of the plant. Different models vary in production capacity, type of mixer, and level of automation, which directly affect production efficiency and suitable application scenarios. For example, high-capacity plants require higher-power motors, more durable core components, and advanced control systems, offering superior performance and reliability—but these features also raise the price.
Additionally, mobility and structural design are key factors influencing cost. Models with integrated chassis, foldable conveyors, and quick-installation systems can significantly improve relocation speed and installation convenience. However, these designs require higher engineering standards and material investment, resulting in a higher price. In contrast, modular plants have a lower initial purchase cost, but relocation and installation require more time and manpower, and the overall operational cost is reflected in the long term.
Factors Affecting Concrete Batching Plant Prices
1. Production Capacity and Output
- Small models (20–35 m³/h): Relatively affordable, suitable for rural or small-scale projects.
- Medium models (45–60 m³/h): Higher cost, suitable for projects balancing capacity and portability.
- Large models (90 m³/h and above): Require heavy-duty structures and multi-channel conveying systems, high investment but can serve multiple projects simultaneously.
- Related configurations: Silo capacity, number of bins, and type of feeding system can all increase costs.
2. Mixer Type and Core Technology
- Double shaft mixer: High efficiency, uniform mixing, relatively high price.
- Drum/tilting pan mixer: Suitable for low-capacity plants, lower cost.
- Planetary mixer: Mainly used for high-performance or precast production, highest price.
3. Automation and Intelligent Control Level
- Fully automatic system: Equipped with PLC/SCADA control, touchscreen, data recording, and fault diagnostics. Higher initial cost but reduces long-term operational expenses.
- Semi-automatic system: Lower initial investment, but requires manual intervention.
- Optional smart features: Remote monitoring, mobile apps, GPS tracking, which increase price but enhance operational efficiency and equipment lifespan.
4. Structural Design and Mobility
- Stationary plant: Large structure, high capacity, long lifespan, but high construction and foundation costs.
- Mobile plant: Modular or trailer-mounted design, easy relocation, slightly higher price than stationary.
- Compact design: Small footprint, pre-connected at factory, suitable for urban or remote sites; convenience-driven design can increase price.
- Additional design factors: Frame reinforcement, anti-corrosion coatings, hydraulic jacks, self-supporting structures—all add to investment.
5. Brand and After-Sales Service
- Chinese/Southeast Asian brands: More competitive prices, shorter delivery times, suitable for budget-limited projects, with reliable after-sales and spare parts supply.
- Service value: Warranty period, on-site engineering support, operator training, and preventive maintenance all affect overall investment value.
6. Additional Systems and Customization Options
- Aggregate batching system: Number of bins and measurement precision impact cost.
- Cement storage method: Vertical silos save space, horizontal silos are easier for relocation and quick installation.
- Special working condition configurations: Dust collection systems, humidity sensors, heating/cooling devices, extra silos, or custom layouts (e.g., tunnel, mine, precast factory applications) will raise the price.
Investment Analysis of Mobile Concrete Batching Plant
Taking the AG-YHZS100 as an example, the complete set of this mobile batching plant has a theoretical production capacity of 100 m³/h, with an actual production of about 75 m³/h.
Assuming 8 working hours per day and 300 working days per year, the annual concrete output is approximately 180,000 m³.
The concrete price varies by region, but assuming an average of USD 45 per m³, the estimated annual revenue would be around USD 2,168,000.
