In Indiana, a U.S.-based manufacturer of innovative outdoor kitchens and barbecue systems has chosen ELKON to supply a customized concrete batching solution. The company, known for producing easy-to-install outdoor furniture, required a plant designed specifically for special concrete recipes used in their production process.
This tailored batching system is engineered to handle mixes composed only of fine raw materials, cement, various fiber types, water, and chemical additives. To achieve maximum accuracy, the facility uses pulse meters for liquid dosing and frequency inverters that regulate the feeding speed of solid ingredients.
At the heart of the plant is a 560/375 liter ELKON Planetary Mixer. The automation system, developed by ELKON, allows the mixer’s speed to be automatically adjusted during the mixing process. This capability ensures the optimal blending of fibers, additives, and cement, enhancing the quality and consistency of the final product.
By delivering a plant that combines precision dosing, advanced automation, and flexible mixing technology, ELKON once again demonstrates its ability to provide innovative solutions tailored to the unique requirements of American manufacturers.
