Concrete mixing plant equipment can be divided into vertical type (weaving force type, tower type and single-step type), horizontal type (also called horizontal type, low-level type and double-step type) and mobile concrete plant according to its arrangement form. If you are going to buy concrete batching plant, it’s better to find out which type is more suitable for your project. Thus, here are the following describes the arrangement and layout of the three types concrete mixing plants in details.
 
In the vertical concrete mixing plant, the material only needs to be lifted once, and then it falls down on its own weight to each process. The advantages of this type of concrete mixing plant equipment are its high efficiency, small footprint, and ease of automation. Its disadvantages are complex structure, high manufacturing costs and high installation height.
In the horizontal concrete mixing plant, the material needs to be raised twice. The material is first raised to the storage hopper, and the material is weighed and lifted again to the concrete mixer. The advantages of this type of concrete mixing plant equipment are simple structure, low investment and small building height. The disadvantage is that the material needs to be upgraded twice, low efficiency and low degree of automation.
The mobile concrete batching plant combines the feeding, storage, weighing, stirring and unloading devices on the same base. The advantages of this type of concrete mixing plant equipment is compact structure, easy handling and direct access to the construction site, reducing the concrete conveying distance and improving economic performance.
 
In general, vertical concrete mixing plants are suitable for use in large industrial cities and material supply bases. The horizontal concrete mixing plants are suitable for small and medium-sized cities far away from the material supply base. The mobile concrete plant is suitable for some small projects with inconvenient transportation and narrow roads or maintenance projects.
