Major turn key plants, producing a large range of concrete admixtures, flooring solutions, cementitious grouts and concrete repair mortars.

Major points in common for both projects:

• Unique compact design including all major components such as blenders, raw material tanks, finished product tanks, wet scrubber, pumps, piping valves and steel platform.
• All components of the admixture plant are designed in a way that containerization of the whole system can be realized with most of the parts already pre-assembled.
• Liquid raw materials are stored in tanks sized properly. There are also dedicated positions for liquid materials that are stored into IBC’s.
• Powder raw materials are handled in big bags using a big bag unloader or bags in case of minor ingredients.
• During second stage, we execute the recipes in complete automated way, using liquid raw materials stored in the corresponding tanks, minor liquid ingredients stored in IBCs, main powder ingredients from big bags, micro ingredients in powder form from sacks splitters on top of the mixing vessels as well as micro ingredients in liquid form being fed from drums on platform scales, according to the execution steps of each recipe.
• Admixture plant is fully automated, controlled and monitored by PLC/Scada system for ease of operation but is also utilizing an MES software suite, Trace Pro, for recipe and report management.
• Special safety measures have been taken care according to human safety EU regulations and ATEX regulations throughout the production process in order to maximize safety of workers and safety of the facility.
