The versatile batch plant can be set up on the job site in approximately 1 hour and is ideal for batching ready mix trucks. With a 225 barrel silo and 4 yard aggregate bin, this system is capable of producing 45 yards of material per hour.

OBS

Series I plants include either one or two cold feed bins mounted on the drum frame. The bins may be split with twin gates to allow proportioning of up to four materials. Each compartment is constructed from 1/4"(6. 35 mm) thick steel plate and has a 8’(2. 44 m) X 10’(3. 05 m) top opening with an approximate 15 ton(13. 5 MT) heaped capacity [based on 100lb/cu. ft. material]. Top lip and bin midsection are heavily reinforced with 3/8"(9. 52 mm) thick bent steel plate for added strength and durability. Bin bottoms are designed with tapered openings to minimize bridging and reduce aggregate drag on feeder sides. Easily adjustable heavy rubber flashing is provided to prevent leakage between bin walls and belt feeder.

The purpose of the PREMIX [TM] Concrete Pre-Mixer by WAM [TM] is the creation of a homogeneous mixture of cement, additives and water able to evenly coat the aggregates. PREMIX [TM], which is installed before the truck mixer drum, highly improves the quality of concrete. Its special design, its revolutionary working principle and its particularly high efficiency add a new dimension to the process. The dry feed chamber houses a high speed feeder screw which feeds material into the mixing chamber where water is injected through three tangential nozzles. In this section special highly efficient mixing tools care for an extremely homogeneous mixture of solids and liquid.
