Concrete Batch Plants: An Aid to Sustainable Construction | Lintec & Linnhoff
Concrete has been a standard building material for most of the world. The concrete batching plant is an equipment used in concrete preparation that has enhanced sustainability in construction.

For ready mix concrete, there are roller compacted concrete or RCC plants. Concrete has been a standard building material for most of the world, and its production is in great demand.
While the cement industry is in full swing, it is a fact that the cement industry is one of the contributors of greenhouse gases that have been attributed as a cause of global warming. Concrete plants have already undertaken measures to try and reduce their carbon footprint. With the addition of waste management plants, and improvements on their concrete cooling system, the industry as a whole has already improved in their efforts to exercise their responsibility to the environment. Choosing Sustainable Methods As concrete has become a universal building material, it has been consumed in massive quantities in practically all aspects of building and construction, and this includes roads, bridges, railways, residential areas and many more. Concrete structures are a sign of progress and stability, so this is likely to continue.
The key for concrete producers is to choose sustainable methods of production. There may be shortcuts that can lead to faster production time, but if it is not done responsibly, there could be a high price to pay. The preparation methods of concrete must be in such a way that the demands to the natural environment are kept at minimum for sustainability to be achieved. The concrete batching plant is an equipment used in concrete preparation that has enhanced sustainability in construction. Implementing Efficiency One directive to the concrete plant operators is to avoid producing waste. This can be done by minimizing waste production and reducing excess generation of products through careful planning and practice of concrete production.
Efficient use of resources and energy must be observed. Energy saving is also achieved through lower electricity consumption and use of gravity assisted material feeding system as well as computerized controls that precisely calibrate all ingredients of the mixing plant. Eurotec Solutions: Waste treatment plant Eurotec’s waste treatment plant (a.k.a. fixation plant or solidification/stabilisation plant) is used for mixing hazardous wastes and other industrial waste materials such as kiln ash, used activate carbon, used blasting sand material) with a binding agent such as cement, lime and fine silica to produce a homogenous mixture for safe disposal at landfills or reuse in land reclamation projects. The whole plant operation is fully automated by a process system software to reduce costs while keeping operators safe. This plant is a cost-effective and safe solution to protect the environment; a fully automated process to reduce operation costs and can be customised to meet different plant requirements.
Water Conservation during Operation In concrete preparations there is heavy water usage in the operation. The batching plant combines all the required materials in mixing of concrete to create a homogenous mix used in construction. Batching equipment is designed in such a way as to ensure optimum usage of water and other materials to achieve a good mix. This includes the ability of some equipment to recycle wet concrete mix before setting and thus reduce wastage. The Green Technology Equipment With the development of green commercial concrete plants, environmental pollution is being reduced. The ready-mix concrete plant increases the material utilization ratio thus creating an overall material savings. Increased material saving from the concrete batching plant in turn increases the productivity and profitability of the operation. For the construction industry, the current demand for increased efficiency is high and the central equipment in this process is the RMC plant or the Ready-Mix concrete plant.
