These bins store different types and sizes of aggregates, such as sand, gravel, and crushed stone. They are usually divided into multiple compartments to hold various aggregate sizes. The bins are equipped with gates at the bottom to control the flow of aggregates onto the conveyor belts.

Conveyor belts transport aggregates from the bins to the mixing unit. They ensure a continuous and controlled flow of materials. Some plants use skip hoists instead of conveyor belts, especially in smaller plants.

The mixing unit is the heart of the batching plant. It combines all the ingredients to produce concrete. There are different types of mixers, including:

Twin Shaft Mixers: Known for their high mixing efficiency and ability to produce a homogeneous mix quickly.

Planetary Mixers: Ideal for precast concrete production due to their thorough mixing action.

Drum Mixers: Common in smaller plants, they are simpler and less expensive but may not mix as thoroughly as twin shaft or planetary mixers.

The control panel is the brain of the batching plant. It allows operators to monitor and control the entire process, including, ensuring the correct amounts of aggregates, cement, water, and additives are used, controlling how long the ingredients are mixed to achieve the desired consistency, and managing the discharge of the mixed concrete into trucks or other containers.

Cement silos store cement in bulk. They are typically cylindrical structures made of steel. The cement is fed into the silos using pneumatic systems and is discharged through screw conveyors or pneumatic systems to the mixing unit.

These tanks store water and various additives, such as admixtures and coloring agents. The water tank is usually equipped with a pump to supply water to the mixing unit. Additive tanks have dosing systems to ensure precise amounts are added to the mix.
