Revolutionary Role of the Silo:
Guardianship for the Core Mixer
In the heart of a concrete mixing plant lies the pivotal mixing host, known as the forced mixer. At the core of this forced mixer is the indispensable mixing shaft. To safeguard this vital component, our innovative mixing plant employs advanced secondary mixing technology. This approach allows aggregates to patiently wait in the specialized silo. Only after the harmonious fusion of powder and water occurs, the aggregate joins the mix. Inside a concrete mixer, dual mixing shafts, equipped with robust arms and blades, operate tirelessly. Should the aggregate plunge directly into the mixer, the formidable impact on the blades and arms becomes immense. Such forceful interaction accelerates unnecessary wear, diminishing the longevity of these critical components.
Boost Your Production Performance
The strategic inclusion of intermediate silos within the production line of concrete mixing plants primarily addresses a crucial factor: the occasional disparity between the batching speeds of aggregates and those of powder and water. As such, a transition silo is ingeniously employed, serving as a holding bay for powder and water batching, especially prevalent in larger mixing sites. In contrast, smaller plants often utilize hopper elevators, which forgo intermediate bins, allowing aggregates to bide their time in the lifting hopper. Notably, due to the substantial weight of aggregates, they naturally settle at the base. Premature addition of aggregates could hinder uniform concrete mixing, elongating the cycle and diminishing efficiency. Prioritizing the inclusion of powder and water facilitates a more cohesive blend with aggregates, ultimately enhancing mixing efficiency and productivity.
