Tailored Concrete Batching Plant Solutions for Block Making Machines
In the scope of concrete production for block making machines, the choice of a reliable and efficient concrete batching plant is paramount. These tailored concrete plants are designed to cater to the specific needs of producing high-quality concrete, ranging from the foundational coarse mix to the visually appealing face mix, often comprising colored concrete.
ELKON offers concrete batching plants to meet the diverse needs of the construction sector including concrete block/pavement block production field. ELKON’s tailored concrete plants for concrete block industry are designed ensuring a seamless supply of high-quality concrete for both base and face mix applications, moisture control, possibility of different configuration for comprehensive needs of concrete block producers, etc.
ELKON’s concrete plants for concrete block machines can be configured in various options and equipped with special components for optimal performance and high productivity of block production.
Versatility in Mixing: Base Mix and Face Mix
ELKON concrete batching plants can be equipped with double mixer to produce backing concrete for the base of the blocks and face concrete for the surface of blocks, which may be colored as well.
ELKON Planetary Mixers
ELKON’s tailored concrete batching plants for block factories are equipped with the powerful planetary mixer. The planetary mixer's ability to rotate on its own axis while revolving around the mixing star facilitates thorough mixing, resulting in a superior quality concrete mix every time. This innovative mixing technology ensures a homogeneous mixing of aggregates, cement, water, and additives, delivering unparalleled consistency in both base and face mix.
ELKON offers planetary mixers from 0,25 m
3 to 3 m
3 per batch. Depending on the requirements of the block factory, the concrete batching plant can be equipped with single or double mixers and moreover, each mixer can be equipped with single of double discharge.
Accuracy of Material Dosing
Material dosing accuracy can be considered as the foundation of high-quality concrete supply, and for the structural integrity and uniformity of your concrete blocks. Recognizing the importance of accuracy in material dosing, ELKON batching plants are engineered to deliver precision in every batch.
ELKON aggregate storage bins are equipped with double discharge gates operated by pneumatic pistons, which ensures maximum accuracy aggregate dosing by properly configured discharge sequence. Moreover, ELKON engineers have developed and patented the ultra-precise weighing gate equipped with elastic suspension system. This system makes it possible to get highest accuracy in dosing from each aggregate storage bin.
Water, cement and additive dosing systems are having extras to increase weighing precision for block industry.
Moisture Control for Highest Product Quality
Maintaining optimal moisture levels in the concrete mix is critical for achieving desired block characteristics. ELKON batching plants are equipped with moisture control systems for sand storage bins and planetary mixers enabling precise regulation of water content of the final mixture. Hydronix (UK) brand microwave type moisture measuring devices are used in ELKON concrete plants. This feature not only ensures the consistency of the mix but also contributes to the durability and performance of the final concrete blocks.
Customizable Discharge Options
Our concrete batching plants offer the flexibility of adding extra discharge gates to the mixers for those who needs ready mix concrete discharge into the truck mixers as well.
Alternative Concrete Transport Methods
ELKON offers concrete transfer conveyors or flying buckets to transport freshly mixed concrete to block making machine in the fastest and the most effective way maintaining the quality of the mix together with fitting the layout requirements.
Depending on the block factory layouts, customers’ need, etc. it is possible to transfer concrete from the concrete batching plant to double block making machine as well as single block making machine.
