Bucket Type Concrete Batching Plant

 2026.01.28

A bucket concrete batching plant is a complete set of equipment that uses a vertical bucket elevator as its feeding mechanism and integrates batching, weighing, mixing, and discharging processes to achieve continuous concrete production. Its core feature is the vertical transport of aggregates along tracks using bucket elevators. Compared to belt conveyor concrete batching plant, this significantly reduces the lateral footprint by 35%-40%, making it suitable for various complex site conditions overseas, especially for projects with high land costs and limited construction space.

 

 

With its core characteristic of vertical bucket elevator feeding, the bucket type concrete batching plant possesses unique advantages in space adaptability, efficiency, and stability. It has been exported to more than 50 countries and regions worldwide, serving various key projects such as high-speed rail, highways, and nuclear power plants. We primarily promote our core models in the 25-75 m³/h range, precisely matching the needs of small and medium-sized overseas projects:
The HZS25 (theoretical output 25 m³/h, total power ≤75 kW) is suitable for rural roads and small prefabrication yards, and is a best-seller in many Asian and African countries;
The HZS50 (theoretical output 50 m³/h, total power ≤120 kW) is a top-selling export model, accounting for 40% of our sales, covering Southeast Asia and South America;
The HZS75 (theoretical output 75 m³/h, total power ≤160 kW) is suitable for municipal and highway projects, serving infrastructure projects in Russia, Saudi Arabia, and other countries. Output fluctuations are affected by material moisture content and operator proficiency by ≤±3%, demonstrating stable performance in actual use.

The HZS50 concrete batching plant, a top-selling export model, balances production capacity, cost, and adaptability. Custom configurations are available to meet overseas customer needs. The standard configuration is as follows, with core components sourced from internationally recognized brands for easy local parts procurement and maintenance:
1. Core Main Unit Configuration
- Mixing Main Unit: JS1000 forced twin-shaft mixer, discharge volume 1m³, mixing power 37kW, mixing speed 30r/min, liner service life ≥8000 hours (high-chromium wear-resistant cast iron).
- Feeding Device: Φ250mm double-rope lifting bucket, lifting weight 1.5t, lifting height 17.2m, equipped with a patented anti-fall device (dual-brake motor + slack rope detection), achieving industry-leading safety.
2. Batching and Weighing System
- Batching Machine: PLD1600 four-compartment batching machine, compartment capacity 13m³, aggregate particle size ≤80mm, capable of simultaneously batching sand and stone aggregates.
- Weighing Accuracy: Employs electronic weighing with an automatic compensation system. Aggregate weighing accuracy is ±2% (range 0-1000kg), cement/fly ash ±1% (cement 0-600kg, fly ash 0-200kg), water ±1% (0-300kg), and admixtures ±1% (0-30kg), meeting high-speed rail and nuclear power plant-grade metrological standards.
3. Auxiliary System Configuration
- Conveying Equipment: LSY250 screw conveyor, 30t/h capacity, used for cement and fly ash conveying. Sealed design prevents ash leakage; dust emission concentration ≤10mg/m³.
- Control System: PLC touchscreen control cabinet, supports fully automatic/semi-automatic modes, can store 100 concrete recipes, equipped with a remote fault diagnosis interface, voltage adaptable to 380V/415V (50/60Hz), meeting the needs of different global power grids.
- Pneumatic System: 1.0-7 type air compressor, discharge volume 1.67m³/min, discharge pressure 0.8MPa, motor power 5.5kW, ensuring precise and stable unloading and weighing gate operation.
4. Structural Dimensions and Transportation Adaptability:
Overall dimensions 14950×17840×17245mm, modular packaging, suitable for 40-foot container transportation (maximum component size ≤12m after disassembly), on-site installation and commissioning cycle ≤7 days, foundation construction cost 20% lower than similar equipment.

The core advantages of our bucket type concrete batching plant, proven through overseas engineering projects, can be summarized in four key dimensions: site adaptability, safety and stability, environmental compliance, and cost control—while also ensuring high production quality.
- Space adaptability:
The vertical bucket-feeding layout reduces lateral footprint by about 35%–40% versus belt-type plants. For example, the HZS50 typically needs only around 200 m² of foundation area, making it suitable for space-constrained sites such as municipal projects, narrow valleys, and remote roadworks. Thanks to a large structural bearing area, it usually requires simpler foundation treatment, saving approximately USD 15,000–25,000 per plant—especially valuable in regions with weak infrastructure.
- Safety and stability:
The hoisting bucket is designed with multiple protections such as double-rope anti-fall and anti-overturn measures, enabling reliable operation under extreme conditions (e.g., -40°C cold climates or high-altitude, low-oxygen environments). Wear-resistant hopper lining significantly extends service life, and compacted-strand wire ropes improve wear resistance and support long operating hours, reducing overseas spare-part replacement frequency.
- Environmental compliance:
A pulse-jet dust collection system achieves ≥99% dust removal efficiency with emissions ≤10 mg/m³, meeting stringent standards such as CE and EPA requirements. Optional residual concrete recycling and separation systems deliver high aggregate and water recovery rates, reducing material loss and improving environmental performance on demanding projects.
- Cost control and fast delivery:
Highly modular, standardized components support container shipping and lower logistics costs. With most assemblies completed in the factory, on-site work mainly involves connections and commissioning, shortening installation time and enabling faster production start-up. Internationally recognized electrical and drive components also help control lifecycle maintenance costs.
- Quality assurance:
Electronic weighing with automatic compensation ensures accurate batching and consistent concrete performance for high-standard applications.

With its multi-scenario adaptability, the HZS series bucket concrete batching plants (25-75m³/h) are widely applicable to various overseas infrastructure projects, primarily covering transportation infrastructure (highways, bridges), municipal engineering (prefabrication yards, affordable housing), and water conservancy facilities. The popular HZS50 model has a strong presence in Southeast Asia and South America, serving projects such as urban and rural road renovation in the Philippines. The HZS75 model supports highway projects in countries like Georgia. Its spatial adaptability and stability have made it a core piece of equipment for small and medium-sized overseas infrastructure projects.

As an exporter, we understand that the core pain points of overseas projects are equipment adaptability, compliance, and after-sales support. Therefore, we can provide customized services for our clients: optimizing equipment configurations for extreme environments such as high temperature, high altitude, and high frigidity; providing bilingual operation manuals and remote technical training to ensure rapid equipment commissioning. For over twenty years, our equipment has been proven in real-world applications in more than 50 countries worldwide, demonstrating that bucket type concrete batching plants are the preferred "efficient, stable, and economical" solution for overseas projects.
