the total cost for a
concrete plant depends on its type (ready mix, central mix, mobile/stationary, production capacity, the current cost of raw materials and other expenses like labor and estimated hours in operation. Location sometimes imposes influences on it as well. Some crucial factors you'll need to account for are listed as follows.
1. Production Capacity
The production capacity of
concrete mixing plant is different, the cost that needs to be invested is different. One is the device itself. The greater the production capacity of the equipment, the higher the procurement cost; second, the different production capacity means that the demand for raw materials such as cement, gravel, sand, and fly ash is different, which will lead to an increase in the capital investment of the entire project. The production capacity of concrete mixing plants for small and medium-sized projects is below 90m³/h, and the production capacity of concrete mixing plants required for large-scale production is usually 120m³/h-270m³/h.
2. Type and Model
To invest in a
concrete mixing plant, you must first determine what type and model of equipment you need. The prices of different concrete mixing plants are different, and the gap is not small. Customers can choose the equipment model according to their actual situation, choose the model and choose the cost-effective equipment.
3. Site Construction Expense
In addition to the concrete manufacturing equipment, the initial investment required to set up a concrete plant also includes the cost of the site, the construction of office buildings and dormitories, and the cost of building a closed material yard in order to meet environmental protection standards.
4. Operation Cost
The later operation of the concrete mixing plant includes water and electricity costs, personnel wages, raw material procurement costs, loaders, and concrete transportation vehicles, which should be considered before investment.
5. Various Handling Fees
Investing in a
concrete batch plant requires going through various procedures, and these procedures are also costly. These also need to be budgeted as the investment cost of building the mixing plant.
There is another point that needs to be paid attention to.
The investment cost of commercial
concrete batching plant is higher than general engineering concrete mixing plant. The engineering concrete mixing station shall meet the needs of the project, and unnecessary functions can be discarded, as long as the quality of the concrete meets the needs of the project. The commercial concrete batching plant must be able to produce concrete with a variety of common labels，and sometimes needs to meet the special needs of users. The control system needs to be fully automatic, and it also needs to have a storage function in order to improve work efficiency.
