Ammann’s CBT concrete plants are designed for ease of transport

Ease of transport is a key feature of the CBT series of concrete plants from Ammann. The range includes the CBT 105 to the CBT 150 TB Elba models, which are said to deliver high quality production, while offering reliability and efficiency.

The plants are said to be optimised for transport and can produce up to 128m³/hour of concrete. Fast installation times, easy relocation and compact transport dimensions are key design features. The plants all feature sophisticated folding mechanisms and suitable components.

The basic unit can be transported with two standard containers and one standard flat-rack container. Depending on the size of the plant, the compact CBT TB Elba mixing plant is equipped with Ammann twin-shaft mixers of the CEM TP Elba series with a compacted concrete output from 2-3.5m³.

The newly developed linear bin series CEL 25 Elba has the storage capability of three to eight different grain fractions and an active storage capacity of 75-100m³. It allows a wide range of applications, particularly when considering the container transport dimensions.

Depending on requirements and customer preferences, the CBT TB Elba mixing plant can also be optionally equipped with the linear bin of the CEL 35 Elba series from the Ammann portfolio with a storage capacity up to 210 m³.

Individual scales for cement, water and aggregates and the optional additive scale are electrically and pneumatically installed ready for operation. Up to six cement screws can be connected to the cement scale. Aggregates are dosed and weighed on the installed weighing belt and then transferred to the inclined conveying belt. All installed plant components are connected as much as possible and pre-installed both electrically and pneumatically. Installing a CBT TB Elba concrete-mixing plant requires a simple concrete floor slab.
