Fresh On-Site Concrete Produced to Your Specifications
A portable volumetric concrete mixer is a concrete batch plant on wheels.
Over 100 years of material handling experience AND over 35 years of volumetric concrete mixer experience, the Throop Company has produced specialty concrete mixes that ready mix concrete companies are not set up to produce.
Benefits of Mobile Batch Plants
- Specialty Cement Mixes
- We can tailor the concrete mix or multiple mixes to your needs on location
- Allows the use of specialty cements like Rapid Set Cement to achieve very early strength concrete.
- Efficiency
- Production and placement of precisely the amount of concrete needed
- Production can start and stop as needed, meaning no waste
- Continuous Placing
- Ingredients can be loaded while producing
- Better Control of concrete production
- Control over concrete slump for cross slope and hill grade applications is accomplished on the fly
- Precise Mixes
- No unnecessary water added to the mix which increases the water to cement ratio
- Production of a Higher Quality Concrete
- Produced when needed. Concrete production is on-site at the job location and therefore the freshest concrete possible
- Never a “hot load”
- Specialty Cement Mixes
