(Medium Production Operation)
Existing Producers that generally need a block and paving stone machine that is automatic but still offers less material handling automation in the early stages of business. The design of a Level 3 plant allows the producer to add on equipment as the business grows to eliminate labor and gain production efficiencies. They tend to know the amount of concrete production required on a daily level and have sales to obtain that goal. Buyers are normally privately owned businesses that are interested in making a high quality unit without a huge degree of concrete block making automation to maintain a simple and affordable investment.
At this level, producers are often willing to integrate and combine the package with both reconditioned equipment and new equipment to keep the overall investment affordable. Oftentimes, they need help in finding proper financing in addition to obtaining the correct qualified people to perform the operation.
Level 3 production plants include a concrete batch mixer that would be charged with sand, rock, water and cement. Each batch is automatically weighed to formulate the correct formulated mix for accuracy. Cement is normally stored in a bulk storage tank and also weighed to a predetermined amount and then conveyed into the concrete mixer. All the ingredients are mixed and the water added automatically to create the perfect mix in moisture content and consistency. Once the concrete is ready it is then discharged and conveyed or transported by skip bucket to the block machine. The concrete block machine will produce up to the below listed output levels per day.
Products | Production in 8 Hours |
6″x8″x16″(15x20x40cm) | Up to 32,000 Concrete masonry units (CMU) per day |
8″x8″x16″(20x20x40cm) | Up to 10,200 Concrete masonry units (CMU) per day |
Paving Stones | Up to 6544 sq.ft. per day (836 M2) |
