aggregate batcher
Aggregate bins, also known as aggregate batchers, are the device that automatically weighs and distributes materials. The aggregate bin is a very important piece of equipment in concrete batching plants, playing a crucial role in the storage of concrete.
An aggregate machine is a device that can save construction space, mainly used to store various types of concrete, ore, rock, and other materials. Aggregate storage bins can usually be installed and disassembled on-site. If you are still seeking a permanent aggregate storage solution, AGICO is your best assistant.
MODEL: AG800 ~ AG4800

Workflow of Aggregate Batcher
The aggregate is loaded into the storage hopper by the loader, and then fed into the weighing hopper or weighing belt through the control system. Through the batching sensor, the aggregate storage bin starts to automatically weigh the ingredients.
Components of Concrete Aggregate Bins
The AGICO concrete aggregate bins consist of a feeding system, weighing system, and control system.
Feeding system: Mainly composed of a feeding machine and storage hopper, used for storing aggregates.
Weighing system: Used to accurately weigh the aggregates in the storage hopper, it is a key component of the aggregate bin, mainly composed of sensors, hoppers or belts, batching controllers, etc.
Control system: Used to control the feeding of aggregates from the storage hopper to the weighing hopper, and to control the operation and batching functions of the weighing system. It mainly consists of batching sensors, strong electrical circuits, etc.
Types of Aggregate Batcher
Generally speaking, aggregates are measured by weighing. In concrete batching plants, there are also many types of weighing-in aggregate batchers. Aggregate batchers are mainly used to weigh sand and gravel aggregates, and the accuracy of weighing determines the quality of concrete. Generally speaking, aggregate batchers are usually divided into the following types:
Independent weighing hopper aggregate batcher
This type adopts an independent weighing method, and each aggregate bin is equipped with a weighing system for independent weighing. The weighing hopper measures the weight and then transports it to the conveyor belt for transportation. It is a high-capacity and suitable equipment for large and medium-sized batching plants.

Accumulated weighing hopper aggregate batcher
This equipment consists of a weighing hopper and multiple aggregate compartments. The aggregates are uniformly weighed by the weighing hopper and then transported away by a belt conveyor. This equipment is suitable for small concrete batch plants and concrete block factories. Its production efficiency is not as high as that of independent weighing hopper aggregate batchers, but its accuracy is high.

Accumulated weighing belt aggregate batcher
This type of aggregate batcher does not have a weighing hopper and uses belt weighing. The aggregate in the aggregate bin is directly transported to the belt for weighing, and the error of this equipment is about ± 2%.

Continuous aggregate batcher
The continuous batcher adopts the flow metering method for batching, which has a high error of about ± 6%. It is mainly used in continuous mixing plants.
