Industrial production of ready-mixed concrete is carried out at a concrete plant with the aim of subsequent transportation and sale to the real estate object under construction. The second name for ready-mixed concrete is a ready-to-use concrete mixture, which is transported to the construction site, for more details see carrotholding.com/en/beton/ ...
Dry concrete mixes are used most rarely in industrial production. The area of operation is household construction (casting of solid structures).
Ready-mixed concrete of common grades m100, m200 and m300. Key benefits:
1) The material is manufactured in the factory under the strict supervision of laboratory workers;
2) Home-made concrete mix has no significantly lower cost in comparison with factory-made high-quality concrete. As a result, it can be concluded that it is advantageous to purchase ready-mix concrete, since the quality in this case will become higher. With the involvement of outside labor, the cost of homemade concrete mix increases significantly;
3) In the conditions of factory production, there is the possibility of professional control of all stages of the technological process, which is practically unrealistic in private production. Specialized employees at the plant monitor:
- Eliminating the possibility of contaminants getting into the sand;
- Controlling humidity;
- If necessary, adjust the composition of the concrete mixture;
- Control of the size of the exploited sand;
- Quality control of the manufactured cement;
- Monitoring the temperature indicator of water;
- Application of water with the desired pH;
- Adding the necessary components in strictly correct proportions;
- The addition of components in a certain sequence, which must be observed in order to produce high-quality ready-mixed concrete;
- High mixing speed while maintaining the important qualities of the mixture;
- Add the necessary plasticizers.
The field of use of ready-mixed concrete is quite wide, it includes pouring walls, manufacturing pools, creating monolithic foundations for buildings.
