The water measuring system of concrete mix plants plays an indispensable role in guaranteeing water amount in concrete production. More and more importance is attached to the precision of water amount with heightening requirement about concrete quality. Some clients try to get rid of water measuring system to reduce investment. Indeed, you can still produce concrete with a concrete mix plant containing no water measuring system, but the disadvantages outweigh advantages. An investor can save at least 1300 dollars by giving up the system, but this entail application of timing machines and regular water feeding into the mixing tank, which eventually extends mixing time and feeding time. Besides, inaccurate water in finished concrete may lead to low quality and variation of concrete models. Therefore, it’s not wise to save cost by excluding water measuring system from a concrete mix plant.
As an accurate instrument for concrete mix plants, the water measuring system is composed of a water measuring hopper, a sensor and butterfly valves. The sensor serves as a scale. It has an unbalanced compensation function, able to realize both rough and precise measuring of water. A connecting stand joins the sensor with the measuring hopper. The sensor produces signals about water weight which is further compared with set weight, and water supply is stopped just when the two weights equal. In case of need for water in the mixing tank, the butterfly valve opens automatically, allowing water flowing into the tank.
A sensitive instrument like the water measuring system helps to save time and improve efficiency in concrete production, thus it’s short-sighted to give up the system while buying a concrete mix plant. We are expected to save money wisely, not unreasonably. Haomei Machinery supplies concrete batching plants of various models. Welcome to contact us at [email protected] for more information!
