Anyone in the construction business knows the importance of concrete. No wonder this composite material is used to construct skyscrapers, sidewalks and bridges, houses and driveways, highways, and many other things around the world. After being set and formed, concrete acts as a durable material strong enough to hold up against some of the largest natural forces. Yet, concrete is “plastic” in that it can be formed and molded into virtually any shape before it is hardened. When it does harden, the quality of the concrete depends upon its properties as a mixture.

A mixture, you say?

Yes! Concrete does not form on its own and needs to be procured by employing certain procedures on its various constituents. The process involves getting the appropriate proportions of water and cement, sand and gravel just right so that a durable concrete product can be created. Indeed, if the mixture has even the least bit of excess paste or water, then the resulting concrete foundation will crack easily — conversely, rough concrete results from concrete mixtures that do not contain enough paste or water mixture. Clearly, any ordinary mixing techniques cannot be used here, and thus a specific piece of equipment is required.

 
Where is Concrete Mixed?

Usually, concrete is mixed in a concrete batch plant.

In a concrete batch plant, the various ingredients used to make the type of concrete being used — such as Portland cement, aggregates (gravel, crushed stone, sand, etc.), and water — are combined in a large, mechanical, and sometimes computer-aided machine, mixed and prepared for use at a job site. The end product (concrete) is then put to use as a raw material in laying down the basics of buildings and paving roads and other open areas. The piping of drains also requires concrete.

A concrete batching plant ideally has many more components to it. It is the assembly of tools and machines such as mixers, cement batchers, aggregate batchers, conveyors, radial stackers, aggregate bins, cement bins, heaters, chillers, cement silos, control. These accessories, in turn, are of different kinds. For example, mixers can be either horizontal or tilt up and of both types in certain cases.

Concrete can be mixed to a customer’s specific requirements and is sold and bought by volume (generally in bags ranging from 45 pounds to 80 pounds). This is why it is perfect for small construction or renovation projects in Dallas when you may only need to use half a yard worth of concrete.
