Weighing Method Of Concrete Mixing Plant
The weighing methods of concrete mixing plants can be mainly divided into two types, individual weighing and cumulative weighing, each with its own characteristics and applicable scenarios.

Individual weighing

• Definition

Individual weighing refers to setting up separate weighing devices for each type of aggregate or material, and then entering the mixer for mixing after measuring various aggregates.

• Advantage

High weighing accuracy

Due to the independent weighing device for each material, the weighing accuracy of each material can be ensured.

High efficiency

Each material can be weighed simultaneously, thereby improving weighing efficiency.

• Disadvantages

High cost

Each material needs to be equipped with a weighing device, so the equipment cost is relatively high.

Complex layout

When there are many types of materials, the layout of the weighing device becomes complex, increasing the footprint of the mixing plant.

Accumulated weighing

• Definition

Cumulative weighing refers to using the same scale to weigh one type of material, and then cumulatively weigh another or several types of materials.

• Advantage

Low cost

Due to the fact that only one scale is needed to weigh multiple materials, the equipment cost is relatively low.

Simply layout

The small number of weighing devices makes the layout of the mixing plant more concise and clean.

• Disadvantages

Low weighing accuracy

Due to the same scale being used for cumulative weighing, there may be some weighing errors.When the number of batching machine compartments increases, the deviation may become larger, making it unsuitable for concrete production with high precision requirements.

Relatively low efficiency

Weighing needs to be done in order, which may reduce weighing efficiency.

Applicable Scenarios

Individual weighing

Suitable for scenarios with high requirements for concrete quality and strict requirements for symmetrical measurement accuracy, such as high-performance concrete, prefabricated components and other production fields.

Accumulated weighing

Suitable for scenarios with general requirements for concrete quality and low requirements for symmetrical measurement accuracy, such as ordinary building concrete, road concrete and other production fields.

In summary, both individual weighing and cumulative weighing have their own advantages and disadvantages, and the choice of weighing method depends on specific production needs and scenarios. In practical applications, the most suitable weighing method can be selected based on factors such as production scale, material type, and weighing accuracy requirements.
