Mobile RMC Plant

Mobile RMC Plant: Engineered for Rapid Deployment, Maximum Uptime, and Lower Operational Cost


1. PAIN-POINT DRIVEN OPENING

In ready-mix concrete operations, unplanned downtime and logistical inefficiencies directly impact profitability. Mobile RMC Plant solutions are designed to address persistent challenges faced by plant managers, contractors, and commercial producers:

  • Extended setup times: Traditional fixed plants require weeks of civil works and commissioning—costing up to $15,000 per week in delayed project starts.
  • High relocation costs: Dismantling and reassembling stationary systems can exceed $50,000 per move, with 10–14 days of lost productivity.
  • Underutilized capacity: Fixed plants often operate below 60% utilization on short-term or remote contracts, inflating per-yard production costs.
  • Fuel and power inefficiency: Legacy mobile units consume up to 30% more diesel due to outdated drive systems and poor energy recovery design.
  • Compliance risks: Inconsistent batching accuracy in temporary setups leads to material waste (averaging 4–7%) and potential rework penalties.

Can your current setup respond within 72 hours to a new job site?
Are you paying more in mobilization than actual production on short-run contracts?
Could a faster-deploying, precision-controlled Mobile RMC Plant reduce your cost per cubic meter by double digits?


2. PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The Mobile RMC Plant is a fully integrated, transportable ready-mix concrete batching system designed for rapid deployment in remote, temporary, or high-turnover project environments. Engineered for scalability and reliability, it supports continuous production from 60 to 180 m³/hour depending on configuration.

Operational Workflow:

  1. Transport & Positioning: Delivered via standard low-bed trailer; leveled and anchored within 4–6 hours using hydraulic stabilizers.
  2. Utility Connection: Connects to local power (400V/50Hz or optional diesel generator) and water supply; pneumatic systems auto-pressurize.
  3. Calibration & Startup: Automated scale calibration and mixer pre-lubrication completed in under 30 minutes.
  4. Batching & Discharge: PLC-controlled batching of aggregates, cementitious materials, admixtures, and water into twin-shaft mixer; discharge into transit mixers or conveyor.
  5. Decommissioning & Relocation: System drains and secures in <4 hours; transport-ready without disassembly.

Application Scope:
Ideal for infrastructure projects (roads, bridges), mining camps, disaster recovery sites, urban infill developments, and contract work with durations from 3 months to 2 years.

Limitations:
Not intended for permanent installations exceeding five years; maximum aggregate size limited to 45 mm; requires flat grading (±1% slope) for stable operation.
