Tecwill delivered two new concrete mixing plants to a company just starting the production of ready-mixed concrete

Tecwill delivered two new concrete mixing plants to Sweden, to the municipality of Sollentuna. Our customer ABT Bolagen is an environmentally-friendly company that provides various services for the construction industry. The company has versatile transport equipment, as well as own machinery for crushing aggregates and recycling of building materials. ABT Bolagen AB so far was not active in the ready-mixed concrete business, but some of its employees have a solid previous experience in the ready-mixed concrete industry.Cobra_C80_concrete-mixing-plant_P262_1

New residential areas are constantly being built in the north of Stockholm, so there will be plenty of demand for ready-mixed concrete in the coming years.

One of the fully equipped concrete batching plants was an ARCAMIX, with modules based on sea container dimensions, the other one was a COBRA C80, which construction also is modularized.

The ARCAMIX 3.0 concrete batch plant, amongst other things, is equipped with

  • the frequency controlled “flying” aggregate dosing and weighing system
  • a BHS twin-shaft mixer with a maximum production capacity of 3 m³ per batch
  • an automatic lubrication system for the axle bearings
  • a high pressure washing system for the mixer
  • a quick scale calibration system
  • a binder scale with a separate filter
  • a remote control for operating the covers of the aggregate bins
  • a HD -camera system
  • an automatic filling system and level measurement for admixture tanks
  • frequency controlled screw conveyor for very accurate dosing of binding agents and
  • a separate indicator light for the concrete truck drivers.

The COBRA C80 mobile concrete mixing plant, amongst other things, is equipped with

  • a frequency controlled “flying” aggregate dosing and weighing system
  • Tecwill´s planetary mixer with a maximum production capacity of 2 m³ per batch
  • a binder scale with a separate filter
  • a remote control for operating the covers of the aggregate bins and
  • a HD -camera system.

There is a noticeable difference between the present and previous ARCAMIX models, obvious already at first glance when looking at the design of the front modules, where the outside part of the container modules of the ARCAMIX model 2017 is made of durable, welded steel plates, providing optimal protection against the weather and the inner part made of insulation panels providing a perfect protection against cold as well as heat.

The “flying” aggregate dosing and weighing system allows that both plants have a connected aggregate bin filling ramp at the same height, even though the bins are of different types and sizes.
