The CONSTMACH Compact 30 represents a breakthrough in concrete batching technology, specifically engineered for projects where space constraints and transportation logistics pose significant challenges. This full automatic concrete batching plant distinguishes itself through a unique design philosophy: the entire system fits within a single 40 ft. OT container or one tractor-trailer unit. This container-type configuration eliminates the complexity typically associated with transporting conventional concrete plants, making it an ideal solution for remote job sites, urban construction zones with limited access, or projects requiring frequent relocation.
What sets the Compact 30 apart is its intelligent approach to portability without compromising production capabilities. The plant delivers a solid 30 m³/hour output while maintaining transport dimensions of just 12 meters in length, 2.2 meters in width, and 2.2 meters in height. Despite its compact footprint, the system weighs approximately 13,000 kg and requires only 200 square meters of operating space. This efficiency translates directly into cost savings, as clients can deploy the plant rapidly without investing in extensive site preparation or infrastructure development.
Site installation requirements have been minimized to an exceptional degree. Unlike traditional concrete plants that demand substantial foundation work, the Compact 30 needs only a flat concrete surface capable of supporting its total weight. The cement silos come equipped with full steel leg supports, removing the burden of constructing concrete pedestals. Metal walls integrated into both sides of the plant structure allow for quick aggregate ramp preparation, eliminating the need for permanent concrete wall construction. This thoughtful design means contractors can have the plant operational in a fraction of the time required by conventional systems.
The aggregate handling system features four hoppers, each with 6 cubic meters capacity, feeding into a 0.75 cubic meter weighing hopper. Materials move through a 600mm x 4,000mm weighing conveyor to the skip hoist bucket, also sized at 0.75 cubic meters. The mixer produces 0.5 cubic meters of wet concrete per batch, supported by precisely calibrated weighing systems: 300 kg for cement, 200 liters for water, and 10 liters for additives. A 300-liter air compressor with 5.5 kW power ensures consistent pneumatic operation throughout the batching cycle.
Flexibility defines the Compact 30's mixing capabilities. Operators can select from pan, single shaft, or planetary mixer configurations depending on their specific production requirements. This versatility enables the plant to handle ready-mixed concrete for construction sites, dry-mixed concrete for specialized applications, or precast concrete for manufacturing operations. The ability to adapt the mixer type means a single plant investment can serve multiple business streams, maximizing return on investment.
The automation system incorporates premium SIEMENS and SCHNEIDER components controlled through advanced PLC technology. The software interface balances sophisticated functionality with user-friendly operation, allowing operators to monitor and adjust all batching parameters in real-time. Full automatic control ensures consistent concrete quality while reducing manual intervention and potential human error. The system manages aggregate dosing, cement and water measurement, additive injection, and mixing cycles with precision timing.
Power requirements remain modest at 55 kW total motor capacity, supported by an 80 kVA generator. This reasonable electrical demand makes the Compact 30 practical for sites where power infrastructure may be limited. Cement storage solutions range from 50 to 200 tonnes capacity, selected based on project duration and production volume requirements.
The Compact 30 carries CE certification, confirming compliance with European safety and quality standards. This certification provides assurance that the plant meets rigorous engineering benchmarks and operational safety protocols. For contractors operating in international markets or on projects with strict regulatory requirements, CE compliance often proves essential for project approval and insurance coverage.
Economic advantages extend beyond initial purchase price. Reduced transportation costs, minimal site preparation expenses, faster installation timelines, and lower operational overhead combine to create compelling financial benefits. Projects that might otherwise delay concrete production waiting for traditional plant setup can begin generating revenue almost immediately with the Compact 30's rapid deployment capability.
