The CONSTMACH DRYMIX 60 represents a highly efficient solution for projects where concrete needs to be transported over considerable distances. This fully automatic stationary concrete batching plant operates on a unique dry-type system, eliminating the traditional mixing process entirely. Instead of blending materials on-site, the DRYMIX 60 precisely weighs each ingredient and transfers them directly into truck mixers. This approach proves particularly valuable when job sites are located far from the plant, allowing concrete mixing to occur during transit and ensuring optimal material freshness upon arrival.
Production capacity stands at 60 cubic meters per hour, making this plant suitable for medium to large-scale construction projects. The system processes materials through four aggregate hoppers, each with 20 cubic meters of storage capacity, feeding into a 1.5 cubic meter weighing hopper. Aggregate handling utilizes a dual conveyor system: a 600mm wide weighing conveyor spanning 13 meters works in tandem with an 18-meter transfer conveyor to maintain steady material flow. The cement weighing hopper accommodates 600 kilograms per batch, while water and additive hoppers handle 300 liters and 20 liters respectively. This configuration ensures precise batching accuracy across all components.
Cement storage flexibility ranks among the DRYMIX 60's strongest features. Clients can select silos ranging from 50 to 500 tonnes capacity based on project demands and site constraints. For operations receiving bagged cement, the plant integrates big bag opening systems that streamline the silo charging process, eliminating manual handling and reducing labor requirements significantly. This adaptability allows the plant to fit various supply chain arrangements without compromising efficiency.
CONSTMACH engineers the DRYMIX 60 with climate-specific modifications to maintain concrete quality across different environments. In cold regions like Russia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, and Northern Europe, plants come equipped with hot vapor generators and insulated panels to prevent material freezing and maintain proper batching temperatures. Conversely, installations in Middle Eastern, GCC, and African countries feature water chillers that cool mixing water, preventing premature cement hydration in extreme heat. These climate-responsive features ensure consistent concrete quality regardless of geographic location.
Site layout constraints rarely pose problems for the DRYMIX 60. When aggregate pre-feeding systems are implemented, the traditional loading ramp becomes unnecessary, reducing initial construction requirements and operational complexity. For locations with limited space, skip hoist systems can replace standard belt conveyors for aggregate transfer, allowing vertical material movement in tight footprints. This design flexibility means the plant can be installed in challenging sites where conventional concrete plants would be impractical.
The control system incorporates premium SIEMENS and SCHNEIDER electronic components with advanced PLC technology. Operators interact with sophisticated software that combines powerful functionality with an intuitive interface, making plant management straightforward even for complex batching sequences. Full automation reduces the need for manual intervention, minimizing errors and maximizing productivity throughout operations.
With a total weight of 27,000 kilograms excluding cement silos, 40 kilowatts of installed motor power, and an 80 kVA generator requirement, the DRYMIX 60 maintains a compact operational footprint of approximately 700 square meters. The integrated 300-liter air compressor with 5.5 kilowatt motor ensures reliable pneumatic control throughout the system. This combination of technical specifications delivers robust performance while maintaining reasonable infrastructure demands, making the DRYMIX 60 an efficient choice for contractors seeking reliable dry-type concrete production without the complexity of traditional wet mixing plants.
