Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What key factors need to be considered when building a new concrete batching plant?
A: Six key factors need consideration: policy compliance, site selection, functional zoning, environmental requirements, safety production, and administrative approvals.
Q: What is the optimal service radius for a concrete batching plant?
A: It is generally recommended to be within a 10-20 kilometer range to ensure concrete can be delivered to the construction site within one hour, guaranteeing concrete quality.
Q: What services can Tongxin Machinery provide as a professional concrete batching plant manufacturer?
A: We provide full-range services from preliminary planning, equipment selection, and site design to post-commissioning operational support, ensuring every concrete batching plant project operates efficiently and compliantly.
Compliant Site Selection and Planning Layout
Legal Requirements for Site Selection
The primary principle for site selection is compliance with local planning regulations. According to norms in most regions globally, the establishment of a concrete batching plant must align with the specific planning requirements of the local government.
Tongxin Machinery advises investors to consult with local planning authorities before finalizing a site to understand specific regional planning requirements and ensure project legality and compliance.
Regional Selection Restrictions
When selecting a specific area, concrete batching plants are prohibited from being built in the following zones:
- Ecological protection areas
- Scenic spots and historic sites
- Drinking water source protection zones
- Basic farmland
Furthermore, they should be situated away from urban built-up areas. The ideal location is on Class II or Class III industrial land, and it is necessary to legally obtain land use approval procedures to ensure no illegal land occupation occurs.
Traffic Accessibility Considerations
Traffic accessibility is crucial for the operational efficiency of a concrete batching plant. The site should be close to main roads such as national highways, provincial highways, or expressway interchanges. Research by Tongxin Machinery indicates that a reasonable service radius should be controlled within 10-20 kilometers, which ensures both transportation efficiency and concrete quality.
Internal Functional Zoning and Process Layout
Principles of Scientific Zoning
The station should be clearly divided into production areas, office areas, and living areas. Appropriate distances should be maintained between these zones, with effective isolation measures implemented. Office and living areas should ideally be located on the upwind side of the local prevailing wind direction, while the production area should be on the downwind side, minimizing the impact of dust and noise on office and living spaces.
Process Layout Optimization
As a professional concrete batching plant manufacturer, Tongxin Machinery recommends focusing on the following key points regarding process layout:
- Efficient Material Flow: Sand/aggregate stockpiles and cement silos should be close to the mixing station to shorten material transport distances.
- Convenient Aggregate Supply: The batching machine should be laid out adjacent to the mixing tower to optimize the production process.
- Orderly Vehicle Scheduling: Reasonably set vehicle entrances and exits, implement pedestrian-vehicle separation, and equip weighing equipment and video monitoring systems.
Environmental Facilities and Green Production
Environmental Standards Requirements
Modern concrete batching plants must meet strict environmental standards, achieving the green production goals of dust-free operation, low-noise production, and zero waste discharge. As a responsible concrete batching plant manufacturer, all Tongxin Machinery equipment is designed and manufactured according to the highest environmental standards.
Dust Control System
Effective dust control is key to the environmental compliance of a concrete batching plant. Fully enclosing feeding, batching, and mixing processes for the mixer host, powder silos, etc., and equipping efficient dust removal devices is essential. Tongxin Machinery's patented dust removal system can effectively control dust emissions to below 10 milligrams per cubic meter, far exceeding international standards.
Wastewater and Slurry Treatment
The station must install a complete wastewater treatment system, including sedimentation tanks, drainage ditches, and wastewater recycling facilities. Tongxin Machinery recommends configuring sand and gravel separators and mud filter presses to achieve 100% recycling of concrete residue, alongside integrated sewage treatment systems to achieve the goal of zero wastewater discharge.
Noise Control Measures
Ensure noise levels at the site boundary meet standards through comprehensive measures such as selecting low-noise equipment, enclosed production, and installing sound barriers. Tongxin Machinery's equipment utilizes advanced noise control technology, keeping daytime noise below 65 dB and nighttime noise not exceeding 55 dB.
Safety Production and Compliance Assurance
Comprehensive Monitoring System
A concrete batching plant must be equipped with a comprehensive video monitoring system covering the entire area. Tongxin Machinery recommends connecting the monitoring system to relevant management platforms for remote real-time monitoring and intelligent alerts.
Strict Load Management
Install clear signage at vehicle entrances and exits stating overload criteria and equip them with precise weighing devices. Tongxin Machinery's intelligent weighing system automatically records and uploads data, ensuring transport compliance.
Fire Protection and Emergency Preparedness
Configure firefighting facilities according to specifications and develop comprehensive environmental and safety accident emergency plans. Tongxin Machinery provides professional fire safety planning advice for each project, ensuring compliance with local regulations.
Land and Approval Processes
Land Use Type Requirements
The land use type must be industrial land, which is a basic prerequisite for constructing a concrete batching plant. Investors need to legally complete land approval procedures to ensure legal and compliant land use.
Administrative Approval Process
Before construction begins, a series of administrative approvals must be completed. Taking Chengdu City as an example, new, modified, or expanded ready-mixed concrete production sites must comply with the relevant requirements of administrative departments responsible for land, planning, environmental protection, construction, and production capacity, and be constructed according to green production standards.
Tongxin Machinery's professional team is familiar with approval processes in various countries and regions and can provide clients with full-process guidance services to ensure projects smoothly pass approvals.
Acceptance Standards
After construction is completed, the competent authority must conduct a green production standards assessment, and operation can only commence after passing the acceptance inspection. Tongxin Machinery's equipment is strictly manufactured in accordance with international standards, ensuring clients can successfully pass all acceptance checks.
Conclusion
The site selection and construction of a new concrete batching plant is a complex systematic project requiring comprehensive consideration of multiple factors including policy compliance, production processes, and environmental requirements.
