Mobile Batching Plant

A Mobile Batching Plant (also called a portable concrete batching plant) is a compact, flexible, and easily transportable concrete production unit designed for on-site use. Unlike stationary plants, it does not require a permanent foundation, allowing it to be quickly assembled, disassembled, and relocated. The plant includes essential components like cement silos, aggregate bins, weighing systems, mixers, and control panels, all mounted on a wheeled chassis or skid. Mobile batching plants are widely used for short-term projects, remote sites, and fast-track construction jobs.

10 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

  1. What is a mobile batching plant?
    It’s a portable concrete batching system that can be transported and set up easily at different job sites.
  2. What is the difference between stationary and mobile batching plants?
    Mobile plants are compact, quick to relocate, and don't need permanent foundation work, while stationary ones are fixed for long-term use.
  3. What is the capacity of a mobile batching plant?
    Usually between 15 to 60 m³/hour, with some models offering higher output.
  4. Is it suitable for ready-mix concrete production?
    Yes, especially for on-site RMC production at remote or temporary locations.
  5. How long does it take to set up?
    Most units can be installed and commissioned in 1–2 days.
  6. What are the power sources available?
    Available in electric and diesel configurations, suitable for both urban and rural areas.
  7. Can it be customized?
    Yes, with options like additional silos, admixture systems, and automated controls.
  8. Is special training required to operate it?
    Basic training is enough; user-friendly control panels make operation simple.
  9. How is concrete transported after batching?
    By transit mixers, dumper trucks, or direct discharge into a casting site.
  10. Is it environmentally friendly?
    Many mobile plants include dust collectors, recycling options, and closed water systems for eco-friendly operation.
