Concrete batching plant KARMEL 120C

Concrete batching plant KARMEL 120C — high-performance concrete complex 120 m³/h

Concrete batching plant KARMEL 120C — is an industrial concrete batching plant with a capacity of up to 120 m³/h, designed for continuous production of ready-mix concrete with high requirements for dosing accuracy and recipe stability. Based on our experience, such plants are chosen by large production hubs and infrastructure project contractors, where downtime in concrete supply directly affects construction deadlines and project cost.

Performance and technological logic of KARMEL 120C

Technical audit shows that KARMEL 120C provides a stable mixing cycle of 50–65 seconds even at maximum line load. This is achieved thanks to the optimized operation of the twin-shaft or planetary mixer and synchronized feeding of aggregate materials.

Key parameters:

• capacity: 120 m³/h

• mixer: twin-shaft / planetary 4500/3000 l

• dosing system: fully automatic

• control: PLC controller with remote access

• transportation: skip feeder

We have noticed a trend: plants of the 120 m³/h class are becoming the core of regional concrete clusters that serve several large construction sites simultaneously.

Design and main system modules

KARMEL 120C has a reinforced industrial architecture designed for operation in intensive modes without loss of dosing accuracy.

• aggregate storage bins: 4×20 m³

• cement silos: 1–6 pcs. (75–500 t)

• high-capacity skip feeder

• automatic water dosing with digital control

• built-in dust protection and filtration system

Engineering advantages and operation

KARMEL 120C is designed to operate in 2–3 shifts mode without productivity reduction. The power of 190 kW ensures stable operation of all units even under peak loads. The discharge height of 3.8–4.15 m allows integration with main types of concrete mixers.

Compliance with EN 206 and DSTU B V.2.7-96 standards ensures controlled concrete quality for critical structures — from foundations to monolithic frames.

Implementation and commissioning

• installation and commissioning — up to 10 days

• PLC system and recipe configuration

• calibration of all dosing units

• test production cycles

• integration into production management system (SCADA/ERP)

Based on our experience, such complexes demonstrate payback within 12–18 months at a load of 60–70%, due to minimization of cement overuse and reduction of human factor.

FAQ — practical questions

Is KARMEL 120C suitable for continuous 24/7 operation?
