ATS has helped Midwest concrete producers plan, design, install, and service concrete batch plants since 1970. As an authorized dealer for CON-E-CO® and RexCon® concrete batch plants by Astec®, we offer central mix, transit mix and dual lane plants in mobile and stationary designs. Production rates range from about 60 cubic yards per hour for compact transit mix plants to 600 cubic yards per hour for high-production concrete paving plants.
The right plant depends on the type of concrete you produce, your daily volumes, how often you intend to move it, and your site constraints. Below is a quick guide to the main choices. Our team can walk your site and recommend a layout for optimal production.
Central Mix (wet batch) concrete plants weigh the materials and mix them in a mixer on the plant – usually a tilt mixer, horizontal reversing mixer, or a twin shaft mixer. The finished concrete is then discharged into a ready mix truck, a dump truck, or an agitor. Because mixing is done at the plant, central mix produces consistent concrete and fast truck turn times. That makes it the preferred choice for high-volume ready mix and concrete paving work.
Transit Mix (dry batch) concrete plants weigh the cement, aggregate, and water and discharge them directly into a truck mixer to mix on the way to the jobsite. Transit mix plants have a lower upfront cost, simpler operation, and smaller footprint. That makes them popular with ready-mix producers of all sizes.
Dual Lane combination plants do both. They run central mix and transit mix lanes from a single plant, separately or at the same time, so producers can serve different jobs and keep trucks moving during peak demand year-round.
Yes. ATS provides troubleshooting, repairs, parts, inspections, upgrades, and consignment sales services for most makes of concrete batch plants, and we can convert competitors mixers.
Mobile (portable) concrete plants are designed to move. Models like the Con-E-Co® LO-PRO or the RexCon® Mobile 12 SE self-erect with hydraulics and can sit on steel foundation pads, so they need little to no permanent foundations. They’re ideal for paving contractors, remote projects, and producers who relocate regularly to follow the work.
Stationary plants are designed for a permanent or semi-permanent location. They offer larger aggregate and cement storage options with more compartments and can feature elaborate material handling systems. Many stationary designs we supply ship in pre-wired and pre-plumbed modules to shorten installation time.
We often supply plants that are purchased as a portable for a specific on-site project but ultimately used in a stationary application.
Actual output depends on mixer size, truck size, materials and site layout. We’ll help you size your plant to your real production needs.
A central mix plant mixes the concrete in a mixer at the plant site before loading the truck. A transit mix plant loads dry ingredients and water into the truck, which mixes the concrete on the way to the jobsite. Central mix gives more consistency and faster truck turnaround. Transit mix costs less upfront and is simpler to operate.
Begin with your peak hourly concrete demand and the size of your truck fleet. Plants we offer range from 60 to 600 cubic yards per hour. ATS can review your production goals and site and recommend the right model and layout.
Many of our mobile plants, including the CON-E-CO® LO-PRO TM or LO-PRO CM or the RexCon® Mobile 12SE TM or CM are offered with steel foundation pads or mats or grade beams to greatly eliminate the need for a poured foundation. Site conditions are critical and we’ll help you plan the setup.
