Readymix Concrete batching plant operations
Delivery and Supply
Hanlon Concrete manufacture and supply ready mixed concrete and cement products for Ireland’s commercial and large-scale industrial construction customers, as well as providing a prompt Readymix delivery service for the smaller domestic home build customer and small and medium scale builders in Ireland.
Our large fleet of Ready mix cement mixers, artic’s and cement trucks ensures we can respond and deliver the required volume of Readymix regardless of the quantity required. Our concrete delivery schedule means our extensive fleet of 6.5 cube bottles can be deployed to deliver for example a 2500 square metre house with the 25-30 cubic meters of readymix concrete foundation required in succession and on schedule for the construction work.
Comparatively with the introduction of one of our artic trucks into the delivery schedule, with a capacity of 11 cubic meters of Ready Mix, we can deploy our combined fleet of 6.5 cube bottles and 11 cubes in a truck, ensuring supply of Readymix foundation on an industrial scale, capable of providing concrete for the largest of commercial construction jobs.
Our ready mix cement delivery locations cover deliveries to counties; Dublin, Kildare, Wicklow, Meath, Westmeath, Offaly, Laois and Carlow in the Leinster region of Ireland.
Aggregate bins
We have four number aggregate bins each holding 75 tons of material
This allows us to tip the aggregate material into the bins with a dump truck directly from the pit thus doing away with having a man tied up on a loading shovel all day.
Aggregate weigh hopper
The capacity of this hopper is 13000kgs. It has four number load cells for accurately recording the correct weight.
Aggregate Holding hopper
This has a holding capacity of 8000kgs and has a butterfly valve at bottom of hopper which is directly over the mixer.
Pan Mixer
This is a Teka 4500 with an maximum output of 3meters cubed of ready-mix per batch.
It has two number discharge doors which means that two lorries can be underneath at the one time so that when one is loaded it will automatically proceed to load the second lorry once his mix type has been entered into the batching loading sequence in the computer.
Cement Silos
Cement Silo 1:
This is a twin outlet single split silo with an overall capacity of 180 tons of cement.
The two cement screws feed up to a cement weigh hopper in the batching tower.
Cement Silo 2:
This is a single silo with a capacity of 120 tons. This can give us the option of being able to use other cementitious products (eg GGBF (Ground Granulated Blast-Furnace Flag).
This will allow us to be able to deliver for special design specification work which the N.R.A. sometimes request or on special construction projects where it can be required.
Cement weigh hopper
This is positioned directly over the pan mixer and has three number load cells for accurate recording of correct weights.
Admixtures
We have a three compartment weighing vessel which caters for six different admixtures of our choice which again are in close proximity to the pan mixer and which is plumbed into the water discharge pipe to the mixer.
