Ready Mix Concrete Plant Capacity Per Hour

The ready mix concrete plant capacity per hour usually depends on the specifications and efficiency of the mixing equipment. For example, a common indicator is the capacity of the concrete mixer, such as 120 cubic meters/hour or 240 tons/hour. These values represent the volume or weight of concrete that the concrete mixer can produce per hour under ideal conditions. The hourly capacity of a ready mix concrete plant is affected by many factors, including equipment type, mixer capacity, production process, work shifts and raw material supply.

Mixing capacity based on mixer specifications
The ready mix concrete plant capacity mainly depends on the size of the concrete mixer (cubic meters) (i.e., the rated mixing capacity per hour is cubic meters/hour). However, the concrete mixer specifications only correspond to the mixing capacity, not the production capacity of the concrete batching plant. For example, there is a certain correspondence between the concrete mixer specifications (cubic meters) and the annual mixing capacity (10,000 cubic meters/year). For example, a 1 cubic meter concrete mixer has an annual mixing capacity of about 200,000 cubic meters, but this is only a theoretical mixing capacity.
General capacity estimation:
- Small ready-mix concrete plant: The hourly capacity is about 20-50 cubic meters.
- Medium-sized ready-mixed concrete plant: The hourly production capacity is about 50-100 cubic meters.
- Large-sized ready-mixed concrete plant: The hourly production capacity can reach 100-200 cubic meters or more.
 

Considering various factors
The ready mix concrete plant capacity is also restricted by factors such as construction organization, operation mode, construction project volume, transportation vehicle loading and unloading capacity, and pumping capacity. In addition, the production capacity is defined differently in different regions, and is also affected by factors such as the intermittent production characteristics of the ready mixed concrete batching plant, local climate and environmental conditions, transportation road environmental conditions, transportation distance, spaciousness of the construction project site, raw material storage volume and effective days.
 

In order to more accurately calculate the actual hourly effective production capacity of the ready mix concrete plant, all of the above factors need to be considered and may need to be adjusted according to specific circumstances. For example, if the transportation conditions are good, the concrete mixer of the ready mix concrete plant becomes the main factor restricting the production capacity, so the hourly effective production capacity of ready-mixed concrete is about 95% of the outbound capacity.
 

The ready mix concrete plant capacity per hour will vary depending on the specific situation, but it is usually between 20 and 200 cubic meters. In order to obtain more accurate capacity data, it is recommended to consider actual equipment, production processes and market demand.
