Liebherr provide batching plants for CEMEX UK

Liebherr have installed and commissioned five modular Mobilmix 2.25 ready-mixed concrete batching plants at five CEMEX locations around the country – Glasgow, Newport, Liverpool, Altrincham and Poole.

The Mobilmix 2.25 is a mobile horizontal concrete batching plant offering the production outputs, features and capabilities normally associated with static plants. Of robust modular construction and capable of being transported on only a few vehicles, the Mobilmix 2.25 has easily assembled components for fast and safe erecting (or dismantling) and requires minimum ground preparation.

At the heart of the plant is the Liebherr twin-shaft mixer with production capacities of up to 100m3 ‘set’ concrete per hour. A Liebherr Litronic MPS II microprocessor control, installed in an integrated module, regulates and monitors the plant’s operation. Moisture and temperature measuring devices and an admixture weigher can also be included. The cement silo capacities are 100 tonnes each, the belt weigher load maximum is 6,000kg, the cement weigher load is 1,200kg and the water weigher load is 600kg. The entire plant, including mixer and weigher platforms, provides ample space for routine cleaning and maintenance procedures.

As part of their sustainability efforts, CEMEX have also recently taken delivery of a number of Liebherr concrete recycling plants. For example, at their ready-mixed concrete depot in Poole, Dorset, a Liebherr LRT 622 trough system has been installed.

The trough pattern on the LRT 622 holds a particularly high volume of wash water so that larger quantities of material for recycling can be added at shorter intervals, while the generously proportioned loading hopper can be filled from virtually any angle and is sized to accommodate up to two truckmixers at a time, with a throughput capacity of up to 80m3/h, depending on the application. Additionally, the screw is located within the housing so that a bed of material is built up, thereby avoiding unnecessary wear. The screw shaft itself runs in maintenance-free bearings.
