Concrete Production Equipment Presentation Members of Group Ahmed Bilal Atta Ur Rehman Haris Ahmed Concrete Production Equipment • The equipments which is used for the production of concrete and the placing of concrete also it is term as a concrete production equipment. There are several phases of making concrete like storing, transporting, compacting, finishing and curing of concrete. • For every phase, there are different equipment is use. • These equipments are follow. • Storing plant • Batching Plant Storing Plant • For storing different material are stored in different chambers, because of not mixing of material in improper percentage. • Different size of aggregate are stored in different chambers. • And these material are mixed in mixing plant in a definite proportion. Batching Plant • This plant consist of all arrangements for receving raw materials form storage box. • There are various types of batching plant as Per Your Site requirement. 1. 2. 3. 4. Stationary concrete plant Mobile Concrete Plant Dry mix concrete plant/Transit Mixers Wet mix concrete plant 1. Stationary Concrte Plant • Statinary plant is designed to produced high quality concrete it has the advantages of large output high effeciencey and high stability and high specification stationary concrete batching plant adopts reliable and flexible it is easy to maintain and own a low failure rate it is widely used in various projects such as roads and bridges ports tunnels dams and buildings. 2. Mobile Concrete Plant • Mobile concrete plant the mobile batch plant also known as a portable concrete plant is a very productive reliable and cost-effective piece of equipment to produce batches of concrete it allows the user to batch concrete at most any location then move to another location and batch concrete portable plants are the best choice for • Temporary site projects or even stationary locations where the • Equipment height is a factor or the required production rate is lower. 3. Dry mix concrete plant/Transit Mixers • Dry mix concrete plant a dry mix concrete plant also known as transit mix plant weighs sand gravel and cement in weight batches via digital or manual scales all the ingredients then are discharged into a shoot which discharges into a truck meanwhile water is either being weighed or volumetrically metered and discharged through the same charging chute into the mixer truck these ingredients are then mixed for a minimum of 70 to 100 revolutions during transportation to the job site. 4. Wet mix concrete plant • The concrete is mixed at a single point and then simply agitated on the way to the job site to prevent setting using agitators or ready mix trucks or haul to the job site in an open body dump truck. Concrete Mixer • Concrete mixer mix the different materials of concrete to make a mix of specified consistency. • Important things for production of concreteis dependupon many factors like sequence of materials charged into drum, timely supply of water, time of mixing, etc. • Concrete mixer are specified by the volume of concrete discharged after mixing the each batch, in cubic meter. Transporting Concrete Equipments • Specification states that process of mixing, transporting, placing and compacting the concrete should not take more than the initial time of the cement. • So we have to chose thw transporting equipment in such a way that all process will occur in initial time of cement. Continue… Some are following. 1. Pans 2. Wheel Barrows 3. Power Buggies 4. Tower Bucket 5. Crane Bucket, etc Conccrete Compaction Equipments • Compaction of concrete is important to improve the characteristics of concrete. • Generally 5% strength of concrete can be reduce by 1% void. • Methods of compaction. 1. 2. 3. 4. Tamping Vibrators Shocking Air Jets,etc THANKS
