Commercial Concrete Mixing Plants Common Problems

Commercial concrete mixing plant equipment may encounter some common problems during operation. It is necessary to understand these problems and take preventive measures.

Firstly, malfunctions of the concrete mixer are relatively common. For example, if the mixing shaft gets stuck, it may be due to large-diameter aggregates or foreign objects getting between the mixing blades and the liner, or damage to the agitator shaft bearings. For prevention, it is essential to strictly control the aggregate particle size and regularly inspect the mixing shaft bearings.

Secondly, inaccurate weighing systems are another common problem. This could be caused by sensor malfunction, interference between the weighing hopper and other components, or other reasons. The sensor should be calibrated regularly, and the connecting parts of the weighing hopper should be checked for looseness or interference.

Furthermore, conveyor belt misalignment is also a significant issue. Uneven installation or inconsistent belt tension can cause this. During installation, it's crucial to ensure the conveyor is level and plumb, and to regularly adjust the belt tension.

In addition, the powder supply system may experience powder clumping and poor discharge. Therefore, it is necessary to implement moisture-proof measures for the powder silos and to clean the silos and screw conveyors regularly.

By understanding these common problems and implementing corresponding preventive measures, the operational stability and production efficiency of commercial concrete mixing plant equipment can be improved.
