Small batching plant for local small deliveries
The inside of a transit mixer uses a simple
to mix (clockwise) and to lift the concrete to the delivery chute (counter-clockwise).
Ready-mix concrete is
that is manufactured in a factory or , according to a set recipe, and then delivered to a work site by truck mounted . This results in a precise mixture, allowing specialty
to be developed and implemented on construction sites. The first ready-mix factory was built in the 1930s, but the industry did not begin to expand significantly until the 1960s, and it has continued to grow since then.
Ready-mix concrete is often preferred over on-site concrete mixing because of the precision of the mixture and reduced work site confusion.
Ready-mix concrete, or RMC as it is popularly called, refers to concrete that is specifically manufactured for delivery to the customer's construction site in a freshly mixed and plastic or unhardened state. Concrete itself is a mixture of Portland cement, water and aggregates comprising sand and gravel or crushed stone. Ready-mix concrete is bought and sold by volume - usually expressed in cubic meters (cubic yards in the US).
Ready-mix concrete is manufactured under controlled operations and transported and placed at site using sophisticated equipment and methods. In 2011, there were 2,223 companies employing 72,924 workers that produced RMC in the United States.
The materials are batched at a central plant, and the mixing begins at that plant, so the traveling time from the plant to the site is critical over longer distances. Some sites are just too far away, however the use of admixtures like retarder can be added.
Furthermore, access roads and site access have to be able to carry the greater weight of the ready-mix truck plus load. (Green concrete is approx. 2.5 tonne per m?.) This problem can be overcome by utilizing so-called 'mini mix' companies which use smaller 4m? capacity mixers able to reach more-restricted sites.
Concrete's limited time span between mixing and curing means that ready-mix should be placed within 210 minutes of batching at the plant. Modern admixtures can modify that time span precisely, however, so the amount and type of admixture added to the mix is very important.
Main article:
As an alternative to ready-mix concrete, volumetric mobile mixers may be used to provide metered concrete services. The volumetric mobile mixer is a truck that contains concrete ingredient materials and water to be mixed on the truck at the job site to make and deliver concrete according to the amount needed. The on-truck mixing at the job site eliminates the travel delays that can cause the pre-mixed concrete to become unusable, however not as precise as weighed batches. This is a hybrid approach between ready-mix concrete and traditional .
A centralized concrete batching plant can serve a wide area. Site-mix trucks can serve an even larger area including remote locations that standard trucks can not.
The plants are located in areas zoned for industrial use, and yet the delivery trucks can service residential districts or . Site-mix trucks have the same capabilities.
Since site mixed concrete is volumetrically metered, the quality of the concrete is not on par with standard ready mixed concrete which is weighed.
