In a precast factory, concrete is not the final product but the raw material for a broader manufacturing process. The geometry of the component, the production method, the required output, and the internal material handling system determine both the design of the batching plant and its production capacity. Drawing on more than five decades of experience, Frumecar has developed batching plants tailored to a wide variety of production processes, from vibro-compacted products and dual-layer elements to structural precast components. This article outlines the key design criteria for these plants and illustrates them through representative projects abd showsFrumecar's expertise in concrete batching plants for precast production.
