Ready Mixed Concrete is a tailor-made concrete that is manufactured in a factory or within a batching plant based on the standard required specifications. The prepared concrete mix is then taken to the worksite within transit mixers mounted over a truck. This type of concrete guarantees higher durability and sustainability. As the work is carried out by an expert supplier, the mixture formed is precise and of higher quality. Special concrete mixtures too can be made efficiently by this concrete manufacturing method.
Types of Ready Mixed Concrete
Depending upon the mixing of different ingredients, there are three types of ready mix concrete (RMC)
- Transit Mixed Concrete: It is also known as dry-batched concrete because the basic ingredients like water are directly charged into the truck mixer.
- Shrink Mixed Concrete: The concrete is mixed partially in the plant mixer and then balance mixing is further done during the transit time in a truck-mounted drum mixer.
- Central Mixed Concrete: Also known as the central batching plant. The concrete is mixed thoroughly before it is loaded into the truck mixer. The plant is sometimes also called pre-mix plant or wet-batch.
