Betomat vertical concrete production plant

Vertical concrete production plant from Liebherr: a concept with many advantages Betomat tower mixers have been used successfully throughout the world for many years, both to produce premixed concrete and in precast element and concrete product manufacturing. Their well-proven modular construction principle permits plant to be planned individually from 55 to 240 cu. m/h set weight of concrete. Versions with two intensive-action mixers operating alternately are also available, or with the second unit used as a pre-mixer in concrete element production. Liebherr’s full range of options and...

Advantages of the Betomat concept The mixing plant’s vertical layout, with the aggregates located directly above the weighing and mixing platform, guarantees high output and the necessary storage capacity. The tower layout occupies only a minimum of ground area. To suit customers’ needs, numerous alternative versions are available, with one or two mixers and various loading systems: bucket elevator, S-pattern conveyor or inclined belt. Compact and self-contained, the vertical layout minimizes dust and noise, is therefore extremely pro-environmental and capable of working without problems in...

The Betomat for pre-mixed concrete It would difficult to imagine the pre-mixed concrete industry without the Betomat. Plant size and version can be precisely matched to the customer’s needs, and an on-site building incorporated into the layout if required. Modern control systems and software make the Betomat extremely easy to use and can include a large number of additional procedures, for example invoicing, vehicle movement control or a concrete-laboratory program. For top-quality concrete or for maximum output, Liebherr can supply the most suitable mixing system: ring pan mixers with or...

The Betomat – a powerful plant with many options The plant can be supplied on request with two discharge lines, for rapid truck-mixer filling. The appearance of the plant can of course also be varied too. There are various forms of loader available for aggregate storage (belt conveyor, bucket elevator, S-pattern conveyor) and various discharge hoppers as well. The aggregates are moved by the shortest route to their storage compartments, and the low number of moving parts helps to guarantee reliable operation and minimum wear for a long period. Other highly practical options from Liebherr...

The Betomat in the precast element and prefabricated product industries Betomat mixing plant from Liebherr produces high-quality concrete for a vast number of manufacturing applications throughout the world, for example paving stones, concrete slabs, curbstones, drainage systems, bridge-building elements, cross-beams, house walls, prefabricated garages or tower segments for wind-powered generators.

The Betomat’s generous storage capacity, with up to 10 compartments, is a major advantage for these industries. Since the Betomat occupies very little space, it is easy to integrate into a precast element or concrete product factory and can be linked to existing buildings without difficulty. Aggregates can be supplied by inclined belt conveyor from points some distance away, if necessary. As a systems supplier, Liebherr is a single source for the entire concept. The mixing platform is of ample size to accommodate either one or two intensive-action mixers, or three in special circumstances....

Fully integrated into concrete product manufacturing Liebherr is the single-source supplier for the entire concept, from aggregate loading to delivery of the freshly mixed concrete to the production areas. Many years of experience in this field are a guarantee of success in the production of precast and prefabricated concrete articles. The requirement indicating point The grade and quantity of concrete needed can be called up with the aid of the precisely where delivery is to take place.

"Just-in-time" concrete production When all systems are perfectly coordinated, reliable production and delivery of concrete precisely where and when it is needed presents no problems: • Loading aggregates • Calling for deliveries • Concrete mixing • Movement of the concrete to the production area • Cleaning the mixing plant • Cleaning the skip loader tracks • Transferring residual concrete and cleaning water to the recycling unit • Recycling residual concrete • Re-use of the raw materials thus obtained

Production control

The ideal mixer for every task For more than 50 years, Liebherr has developed and built its own mixer systems. In the company’s technical mixing-plant laboratory, these systems are tested with the most varied mix constituents, developed and optimized. Based on the successful Type R ring pan mixer, there are now two further versions with additional agitators for higherquality grades of concrete. The Type RIM is supplied with either one or two mechanically-driven agitators (RIM-M / RIM-D). The Type RIH has either one or two hydraulically driven actuators, which have the advantage that the...

Litronic MPS microprocessor control Litronic MPS is an open-system concept using industrial standards on a broad basis. This ensures that new hard- and software developments can be incorporated into the system without difficulty. Every step in the process is clearly visualized on the computer screen. Interfaces are provided for links to existing data processing systems. Extensive additional software packages are available and can be retrofitted later if necessary. Litronic FMS moisture measurement For precise determination of the moisture content of aggregates, Liebherr uses intelligent,...

Rotary distributor belt 18 Cement weigher Water weigher

The machinery platform Ample space is provided on the machinery platform for access to the mixer inlets and other components, so that cleaning is an easy matter. Rotary distributor The individual aggregate silo compartments are filled from a rotary distributor or, on larger installations, a rotary distributor belt. Weighing systems The cement, water, aggregate and admixture weighers all supply precise measured values to the control system. All weigher systems are suitable for calibration. Rapid, accurate batching is essential if mix formulae are to be complied with despite high output...
