Drum mix vs batch mix

Strictly, a batch mix plant is not a drum mix plant, but buyers often compare the two. Batch plants re-screen hot aggregate and weigh each batch; drum plants mix continuously and cost less to run. See the hot mix plant comparison.

Which type should you choose?

Will the plant move more than once in its life? Choose mobile.
Is daily tonnage modest? Look at the small portable DM-45.
Are emission limits strict? Specify a bag house.
Need per-batch weighing records? Consider a batch plant.

Frequently asked questions

Can a stationary plant be converted to mobile later?

Mobility is designed in from the start, with chassis, axles and pre-wiring. Discuss future relocation plans when you order so the right configuration is quoted.
