Concrete batching plant KARMEL 60C

Concrete batching plant KARMEL 60C — productive solution 60 m³/h for stable concrete production

Concrete batching plant KARMEL 60C — is a comprehensive solution for continuous production of ready-mix concrete with a capacity of up to 60 m³/h, combining automatic dosing, skip feeder, and industrial mixers of twin-shaft, planetary, or rotary type. Based on our practice, this class of plants is most often chosen by enterprises transitioning from local production to systematic B2B concrete supply with predictable cost and controlled quality.

Performance and technological process architecture of KARMEL 60C

The system is designed for a stable mixing cycle with minimal downtime between batches. Technical audit shows that optimized aggregate logistics and automated PLC control reduce downtime to 12–18% compared to semi-automatic lines.

Key parameters:

• capacity: 60 m³/h
• mixer: 2500/1500 l (twin-shaft / planetary / rotary)
• automation: PLC controller + remote control
• dosing cycle: fully automatic

Structural modules of the plant

Composition of the KARMEL 60C system:

1. aggregate storage bins 4×20 m³
2. cement silos 1–4 pcs. (75–500 t)
3. skip conveyor lift
4. water dosing system with digital control
5. built-in dust filtration

Comparison of automation efficiency

Concrete plant commissioning stages

• equipment installation (up to 10 days)
• PLC system commissioning
• dosing units calibration
• test mixes and quality certification
• ramp-up to industrial mode

Technical advantages for business

• discharge height 3.8–4.15 m for operation with various types of concrete mixers
• power 109 kW with optimized energy consumption
• recipe stability according to EN 206 and DSTU B V.2.7-96
• integration into ERP/SCADA production systems

Operational logic (implementation practice)

We have noticed a trend: enterprises implementing KARMEL 60C achieve payback on average within 14–20 months provided loading is from 60%. This is directly related to reducing human factor costs and stabilizing recipes.

FAQ — typical client objections

Is the plant suitable for winter production?
Yes, the system can be equipped with water heating and insulation of dosing units for operation down to -25°C.

Is the maintenance of the PLC system complicated?
No, the interface is designed for an operator without programming training, with ready-made production scenarios.

What is the actual output per shift?
During an 8-hour shift, the concrete batching plant produces 350–420 m³ depending on the recipe and aggregate logistics.

 

Is modernization possible after commissioning?
Yes, a modular architecture is provided for adding silos, mixers, or automatic feeding systems.
