365 days of temperature-controlled concrete production with KTI's CombiMaster CM50 in Austria
We equipped the concrete batching plant of an Austrian ready-mix concrete company with our CombiMaster to produce high-quality concrete all year round. The limited space at our customer’s site was no problem for our very compact design, as the CombiMaster brings a complete cooling and heating system in just one 40-foot container. In addition, we supplied the customer with specially designed air nozzles that were installed in the existing silos.
Compact installation makes it possible
In 2021, we successfully installed another CombiMaster CM 50 at a customer in Austria. The requirement was to achieve a fresh concrete temperature from the mixer of 27-21 ° C / 81-70 ° F at an ambient temperature of 30-35 ° C / 86-95 ° F in summer. While in winter 15 ° C / 59 ° F concrete at -10 ° C / 14 ° F ambient temperature is the target. Both temperature requirements are to be achieved with a production capacity of 300-600 m³ / 390-785 yd³ of concrete per day. Specially designed and manufactured air nozzles were supplied by us to the customer and installed in the silo chambers to ensure perfect distribution of hot or cold air through the aggregates and sand. Furthermore, our service technicians installed the air ducts and water pipes. The commissioning of the plant was done in two steps. First for the cooling side before the summer season. Secondly, the heating system was commissioned to make the plant ready for winter concrete production.
