The plants that dose and prepare concrete play an essential role in civil construction, supplying the material to build structures, roads and infrastructure. Behind them lies a complex process, from storing raw materials to delivering ready-mixed concrete.
The main stages
- Storage: cement is kept in closed silos; aggregates in separate bays; and admixtures in tanks with containment.
- Dosing: the amount of each material is measured precisely, and recording the dosing is required by ABNT standards.
- Mixing: the plant transfers materials to the mixer truck, which blends them until reaching the needed homogeneity.
- Transport: the mixer truck mixes and carries the concrete to the site.
- Wheel loader: feeds the bins and scales with aggregates; it is the heart of the plant, since without it no concrete is produced.
Why choose plant-batched concrete
- Quality: equipment and processes that ensure consistency and meet ABNT standards.
- Efficiency: large-scale production is more economical than mixing concrete on site.
- Meeting deadlines: large volumes supplied quickly.
- Less waste: precise dosing reduces material loss.
