What Is a Dry Mix Concrete Plant？

A dry mix concrete plant (also called a dry mix batching plant or dry concrete batching plant) is a batching plant without a central concrete mixer. A dry concrete batching plant measures sand, gravel, cement, and additives separately, and loads them into a truck mixer in their dry state. The truck then adds water based on the required mix ratio and completes all mixing while traveling to the job site.

The DASWELL dry mix concrete plant delivers fast batching, low maintenance, and flexible production across different concrete grades, making it ideal for high-productivity, long-distance delivery projects.

It is ideal for:

• Large concrete supply projects
• Long-distance transportation
• Regions with hot weather
• Contractors who want simple equipment and fast installation

How a Dry Concrete Batching Plant Works – Complete Working Process Explained

The working process of a dry mix concrete plant is simple, reliable, and highly efficient. The complete workflow includes:

Step 1: Aggregate Feeding
Aggregates are delivered to the batching machine through a loader or belt conveyor. Bins can be customised according to the number of aggregates.

Step 2: Aggregate Batching
The batching machine uses high-precision weighing sensors to measure each raw material. Independent weighing ensures stable quality and accurate proportions.

Step 3: Cement and Additive Weighing
Cement is stored in welded silos. A sealed screw conveyor transfers cement to the weighing hopper, while additives are measured with a separate scale.

Step 4: Dry Material Discharge
All dry materials are discharged into the truck mixer through the discharge hopper. Dust-collecting systems can be added to maintain a clean environment.

Step 5: Adding Water to the Truck
Water is added during transportation according to the preset formula. This offers better flexibility for different concrete strengths.

Step 6: Final Mixing in the Truck
The truck drum rotates to complete mixing before arriving at the site. The result is high-quality concrete with uniform consistency.

This workflow makes the dry mix concrete plant one of the most efficient and economical solutions for concrete supply.

Features & Advantages of DASWELL dry mix concrete batching plant

• Fast and Efficient Batching Process
  The DASWELL dry mix concrete plant completes batching cycles quickly by eliminating the central mixer, allowing direct discharge into truck mixers and ensuring higher productivity.
• Lower Energy Use and Operating Cost
  Without a mixer motor, the dry mix batching plant consumes less electricity, helping contractors significantly reduce daily power expenses and long-term operational costs.
• Reduced Maintenance and Fewer Wearing Parts
  The dry concrete batching plant features a simple structure with fewer mechanical components, minimising cleaning work, limiting parts wear, and extending overall equipment lifetime.
• Cost-Effective Investment for All Project Sizes
  A batching plant dry mix requires a lower initial investment compared with wet mix systems. Its simplified design, low maintenance needs, and reduced energy usage make it highly economical.
• High-Precision Weighing for Consistent Quality
  With batching accuracy within ±1%, the plant ensures stable material proportions and reliable concrete quality, even during continuous, high-volume production.
• Perfect for Long-Distance Concrete Delivery
  Since mixing is performed inside the truck mixer during transport, materials remain fresh and avoid early setting. This makes the plant ideal for remote sites and long-haul delivery projects.
• Modular Design, Fast Installation, and Full Automation
  The modular structure enables quick setup and relocation, while advanced PLC control systems and brand electrical components ensure stable, fully automated operation and long-term durability.

Components of a DASWELL batching plant dry mix

Each dry mix concrete batching plant consists of:

1. Aggregate Batching System
   High-accuracy weighing ensures good concrete quality. The optional pre-feeding system eliminates the need for a loading ramp.
2. Belt Conveyor
   Transfers sand and aggregates to the discharge hopper or truck mixer.
3. Weighing System
   Includes weighing sensors for aggregates, cement, water, and additives. Ensures precision and consistent mixing proportions.
4. Cement Silo (50–500 tons)
   Bolted or welded silos for storage of cement or fly ash. Compatible with bagged or bulk cement feeding.
5. Water Supply System
   Time-controlled or flow-meter-controlled water dosing ensures accurate water-cement ratios.
6. Control System
   Full-automatic control with real-time monitoring, fault detection, and production data management.
7. Truck Mixer Interface
   All materials are discharged into the truck mixer for final wet mixing.

All key components use branded electrical parts to guarantee stability and high accuracy.
