We supply concrete batching plants to ready-mix producers, precast manufacturers and large contractors across Africa, in stationary, mobile and compact configurations.
The range covers plants from 25 to 180 cubic metres per hour, with aggregate bins, belt or skip feed, cement silos and screw conveyors, weighing systems for aggregate, cement, water and admixture, twin shaft or planetary mixers, and computerised batching control with recipe storage and printout.
Weighing accuracy is the plant. Everything else moves material; the weighing system determines whether the concrete meets specification, and a plant with poorly calibrated load cells produces out-of-spec concrete that will not be discovered until cube tests fail a week later. Calibration equipment and a calibration schedule should be part of the purchase.
Cement storage and handling deserve as much thought as the mixer. Silo capacity has to cover delivery intervals, and in humid coastal conditions moisture ingress causes bridging and blockages that halt production. Aeration and filtration are worth specifying properly.
Mobile plants suit projects with a defined life such as a road contract, where the plant relocates with the work. Stationary plants suit a commercial ready-mix operation serving a city. The two are different businesses and the wrong choice is costly to correct.
Ready-mix operations and infrastructure projects across Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Ethiopia and Tanzania make up most demand. Plants are quoted with layout, foundation loadings, power demand, installation, commissioning and operator training.
