There were several reasons why this was used over a conventional batching / weigh belt arrangement. Primary reasons were greater accuracy of materials being weighed, lower investment costs, elimination of material spillage.The %u2018skip hoist%u2019 then take the materials to the one of the 2 x 2250/1500 planetary mixer, which provide the factory with their concrete. Upon the mixer platform are the normal components such as Cement Weighing, Water distribution, Admix & dust extraction.Each mixer has 2 doors allowing full flexibility and possibility to discharge concrete into both flying bucket lines. Cement is fed from 3 x cement silo of 100T (80m3) and it can be delivered to both mixers.The concrete is discharged into 2x MCT%u2019s travelling bucket to be supplied to bay 1 or bay 2, with total distance of 350M all of which is controlled via MCT%u2019s own control system, providing the optimum delivery around the entire site in automatic mode. The rollover bucket has a capacity of 3000 litres and can travel at speeds of up to 240M per minute and deliver the concrete directly to the concrete distributor for concrete casting.The mixers and travelling buckets are washed via MCT%u2019s own deigned washing heads and all the washed water and materials are gathered below the plant where they are separated and this water is recycled back into the plant; the waste material can also be recycled.All of the dosing, mixing and concrete distribution is controlled via MCT%u2019s very own Compumat system, which is intuitive. Ecological solutions and prefabricated elementsThe economic advantages of using prefabrication concrete in construction make it a technology that is growing in popularity every year. In the era of projects created in accordance with the assumptions of sustainable construction, it is impossible to ignore the ecological aspects of the use of prefabricated concrete. Thanks to the fact that the elements produced in the Concrete Prefabrication Plant are created under controlled conditions, it is possible to optimize energy and material consumption, as well as reduce waste. Their use on the construction site has a higher ecological potential compared to traditional methods. What's more, thanks to the precision of design based on digital technology, selected prefabricated elements can be optimized, taking full advantage of all conditions allowed by the rules defined by industry standards, construction law and technical conditions. This significantly improves the efficiency and energy efficiency of the facilities being built with their participation. High efficiency and accuracy of forming elements allow the levelling of thermal bridges and have a positive effect on improving the thermal insulation of increasingly appearing architectural solutions. All this translates into better use of resources, ergonomics of implementation and action with economical and sustainable construction in mind.The versatility and potential of using prefabricated products makes this technology more important. Due to numerous benefits - not only environmental, but also economic or social %u2013 It has a good chance of changing the face of the construction industry, positively affecting the environment, the economic potential of the country and the comfort of users of emerging investmentsBenefits of using prefabrication technologyThe use of prefabricated concrete allows you to significantly reduce the construction time, while maintaining high quality and efficiency of the work carried out. The production of individual elements is carried out under controlled conditions and is supported by computer-aided design (CAD, BIM) integrated with automatic management of production lines. Thanks to this, it increases the efficiency of production, but also the quality of the manufactured elements. The use of specific recipes of concrete mixtures allows to reduce the raw materials used in the production process and reduce the waste produced, and thus %u2013 to reduce the associated losses globally.%u201cPrefabrication is today the answer to many challenges posed by investors and the construction industry %u201c- emphasizes Patrycja B%u0119bas, President of ARP Budownictwo sp. z o. o. %u201cIts indisputable advantage is the reduction in the implementation time of the investment compared to traditional construction, in which the seasonality of the work is in force. Installation of prefabricated elements can take place regardless of weather MCT batch plant
