Read More2021-4-21 For higher concrete demand, you can set up two F2200 concrete batching plants together. You can then produce up to 90 m3 per hour. A double F2200 setup can deliver 700m3 per day on an eight-hour shift. When the demand of the concrete falls, one of the plants can be taken to another site. This gives you great flexibility within your business.
Read More2010-9-1 Concrete production consists of mixing aggregates (sand and gravels), cement (and sometimes other fine elements), water and admixtures, and then molding the obtained mixture. Ready mixed concrete is manufactured in a concrete plant and transported to the building site
Read More2017-1-22 Production in an indoor environment results in better working conditions with correspondingly better productivity than would be the case on a building site, and that has an effect on quality, too. In the factory production situation, training makes it easier to compensate for the ongoing severe shortage of skilled workers in the construction ...
