Central-mix batching plants utilize plant-mounted mixers the place you place all the concrete ingredients INCLUDING water as well as the plant churns everything into concrete. Following this, the concrete is going to be transported for the construction site, however the truck mixer must agitate the ultimate product gradually so as to keep the concrete fresh.

However, the dry concrete batching plant combines every one of the ingredients necessary to create concrete with just one exception, WATER.
