Wet Batch Plant VS Dry Batch Plant

Regarding wet batch plant vs dry batch plant, some friends will definitely have some doubts about them, so this article will summarize some information about dry and wet concrete batch plants for your reference.

Concrete batch plants are used to mix sand or gravel, water, air, admixtures, fly ash, cement, etc. to produce concrete. There are two main types of concrete batching plants: dry and wet concrete batch plants.

Dry mix concrete batch plants use electronic scales or manual scales to weigh sand, gravel and cement. After this, they will be discharged into the chute, from which they are discharged into the tank of the concrete mixer truck. At the same time, water is also metered gravimetrically or volumetrically and discharged through the same charging chute into the concrete mixer truck, which then mixes all materials for a minimum of 70 to 100 revolutions during transport to the job site.

Wet mix concrete batch plants place some or all of the above materials, including water, into a concrete mixer in the middle. After mixing, the concrete is discharged into a concrete mixer truck or mixer to deliver the concrete to the job site. It should be noted that during transportation, the concrete mixer or concrete mixer truck should rotate at an appropriate speed to prevent the concrete from solidifying.

In summary, the difference of wet batch plant vs dry batch plant is that wet mix concrete batching plants contain a concrete mixer located in the middle, which produces a more consistent mix in less time. Due to inconsistencies in mix length, truck bucket and drum conditions, traffic conditions, etc., dry mix concrete batching plant equipment typically sees more break strength standard deviation and load variation. Whereas with intermediate mixing equipment, all loads exhibit a consistent mix pattern and there is an initial quality control point at discharge.

Therefore, it is recommended that you use Haomei Machinery's wet mix type concrete batch plant in actual production.
