PRECAST CONCRETE ELEMENTSwww.cpi-worldwide.com CPI %u2013 Concrete Plant International | India Edition %u2013 6 | 2025 53WCS control systemBased on the Microsoft Windows operating system and a Siemens PLC, the WCS control system, the heart of every Wiggert concrete mixer plant, offers simple and clear control of all plant functions, including mixer status, moisture correction, plant status, recipe and stock management. Calloff points at the delivery points are used for direct mixing triggering and thus short-term, demand-orientated concrete supply in production.Second project step: New circulation plantBefore the decision was made to realise the new circulation plant as it can be found in the production hall today, various system models were planned and tested. A star-shaped production layout with a central transfer table was also discussed. However, this model could not be implemented and the decision was ultimately made in favour of the Avermann pallet circulation plant with underfloor conveyor technology.This pallet conveyor, which is fully integrated into the hall floor, eliminates disruptive transport components in the production area. Different concrete elements can be produced in parallel and waiting times are almost a thing of the past. The highly automated system thus creates a significantly improved working environment along with greater flexibility. The new circulation plant is also characterised by a very high level of safety for employees thanks to numerous appropriate health and safety precautions and the underfloor solution.Avermann's scope of delivery includes twelve pallets with dimensions of 14.00 %u00d7 4.00 m, special trestle rollers with friction wheel drive for pallet transport, cross transfer units, vibrating compactors with high-frequency technology, a hydraulic tilting station and a battery-powered 40-tonne run-off truck.The hall was also equipped with a 3D steel processing system from the Progress Group and fully automated concrete transport with the aforementioned bucket conveyor from Dudik. The Elematic concrete spreader then finally delivers the concrete to the pallets in precise doses.View of the new production hall with the Avermann circulation plantBefer relies on an innovative control and production concept that has been precisely tailored to the operational processes. Together with RIB One Prefab Automation and Avermann, a customised HMI/SCADA system with intuitive touch operation was created.
