CIM 310 Test 2

Advantage of Central Mix Plant

Higher Production Rates

Plant operator responsible for:

Loading mixer and controlling discharge

4 element of wet plant operation

Charging Time, Mixing Time, Discharge Time, Return Time

Typical Mixing time for 10 yd3

2 min

plant equipment which gives it ability to blend ingendients before entry into mixer

efficient mixing

Fluid and consistent mixes provide

faster discharge

Central Batch Plants are capable to

start next batch while discharging

Slump affects amperage needeed to mix, higher amperage means

stiffer concrete

types of mixers

horizontal and tilt up

standand equipment, most part and pieces can be maintained by plant operators

In-house maintenance

maintenence for Batching Control Panel, electrical equipment

Specialized maintenence

tool to keep track of several activities in the daily operation and control of the batch plant.
