SMAT has been serving a large number of dry concrete batching plant customers.
The main difference between dry concrete batching plants and wet concrete batching plants depends on different configurations.
Batching Process:
Dry Concrete Batching Plant: In a dry concrete batching plant, ingredients such as aggregate, cement and additives are transported to an aggregate silo or directly into a tanker for batching. Water is added to it to produce concrete.
Wet Batching Plant: In a wet concrete batching plant, all the ingredients are batched together in a batcher. After being fully batched in the batcher, it is transported to the construction site by tanker truck.
Material Handling:
Dry Concrete Batching Plant: Dry batching equipment usually requires more manual processing of materials, such as the addition of cement and additives, has a low degree of self-automation and low equipment investment costs.
Wet Concrete Batching Plant: Wet batching plants simplify the process as all materials are batched together at the batcher location. This can improve the efficiency and automation of the process, reduce the manual labor required for material handling, improve concrete quality, and meet different projects with high concrete quality requirements.
Water Supply Method:
Dry Concrete Batching Plant: Water is added to the concrete tanker during the batching process and the amount of water used is measured by the water flow rate.
Wet Concrete Batching Plant: In the batching station, water is added to the water weighing tank for weighing and then added to the batcher, with higher weighing accuracy.
Output Flexibility:
Dry Concrete Batching Plant: Dry batching plants are more flexible in terms of output because they are continuously batched and discharged directly to concrete tankers, which is faster. Since water can be added directly to the tanker and then batched, it is also suitable for projects that are further away.
Wet Concrete Batching Plant: The transportation distance of the wet batching station should not be too far because the concrete has been batched in the batcher before being transported by the tanker and needs to be delivered to the construction site immediately to ensure the quality of the concrete. However, for medium and large projects with higher concrete quality requirements, wet batching plants are still the best choice.
Overall, the choice between a dry batching plant and a wet batching plant depends on factors such as project requirements for concrete quality, efficiency considerations and overall investment in machinery.
Dry concrete batching plants have the following advantages compared with wet concrete batching plants:
Overall, the advantages of dry concrete batching plants make them the first choice for many construction projects that do not have high requirements for concrete quality and require low mechanical capital investment, especially those projects that need to focus on water conservation, efficiency and flexibility.
