Ready Mix Concrete is produced by blending cement, sand, aggregates, water, and admixtures in proper proportion. A slight variance in proportion can affect the quality of the product. It impacts the strength, durability, and performance of the final mix. 

It is important to have weighbridges in RMC sites to weigh the ingredients of ready-mix concrete. RMC has to be produced in temporary sites, which require weighbridges to be installed quickly and allow flexibility and ease of relocation. Therefore, considering these factors, Flexi Weighbridges may be the appropriate choice. 

Essae Digitronics is a leading manufacturer of Flexi Weighbridges in India. They are portable and modular in design, which makes them ideal for temporary installations in RMC and site-mix plants. 

Let’s learn about how Essae Flexi Weighbridges can be advantageous on RMC sites.

  1. They can be quickly set up in RMC sites, which often operate on leased land.
  2. No deep civil foundations are required. This reduces both installation time and costs.
  3. Flexi Weighbridges are cost-efficient due to lower civil work and ease of relocation.
  4. Flexi Weighbridges enable weighing cement, aggregates, water, and other materials accurately to produce the quality concrete mix. This ensures product quality and consistency.
  5. Flexi Weighbridges allow integration with batching software and ERP systems. It helps display real-time data, remote monitoring, and automated reporting.
  6. Flexi Weighbridges are capable of withstanding tough environmental conditions, including dust, moisture, and heavy vehicle loads. 

Cost and Operational Efficiency

  • It ensures batching accuracy as the right proportion of materials is added to make the concrete mix. 
  • Inventory Management: In a temporary site, different materials are brought in and transported out of the premises. Inventory management becomes efficient and prevents pilferage of materials on site with Flexi Weighbridges.
  • It optimizes logistics operations with regular truck movements and a reduction in turnaround time. 
  • It helps in providing accurate data for compliance, auditing, and client reporting. 

As per studies using Six Sigma methodology, it was found that RMC plants lacked consistency in production while process capability was below the threshold limit of 1.0. Weighing accuracy enhances the quality of the concrete mix by minimizing variability and promoting consistency.

Essae Digitronics Flexi Weighbridges have a user-friendly design with low-height built-in ramps. It helps in the easy movement of vehicles onto the platform. The weighbridge is rugged, constructed from high-tensile steel, and equipped with Special Rigid Mount Axle Load cells.
