Hopper batching plant is used to produce fresh concrete mixture for various projects. Aggregate lifting is by a hopper.
What is hopper batching plant
Hopper batching plant is a small type of concrete plant, why name it hopper? Because there is a procedure that aggregate lifting is through a hopper, which differs from the large commercial concrete batching plant. And this type of small concrete batching plant has characteristics of small volume, small land occupation, simple operation, quick installation, easy maintenance, and automatic control.

Common faults and maintenance notices of hopper lift concrete mixing plant
1. Dust accumulation, flexibility reduction, and instability of machine.
Solution: Keep the concrete plant and the surrounding environment clean.
The operator should clear the material in the hopper in time so that the sensor normal to zero.
2.Abnormal noise and lubrication part of rust.
Solution: Check whether the lubricating oil at each lubrication point is sufficient. The oil mist in the gas path system should be maintained with sufficient oil. Whether the motors and electrical appliances are overheated, whether the instrument indication is normal, and whether the signal system is intact.
3.Open and closed valve is not sensitive to open or can not close.
Solution: Check and adjust the cylinder, butterfly valve, and solenoid valve, according to the instructions of the cylinder, butterfly valve, air valve for normal maintenance.
4.Ash leakage, gas leakage, oil leakage, etc.
Solution: check all systems, the above phenomenon should be timely maintain, whether the contact part is not strict.
5.The hopper does not discharge or discharge is not smooth.
Solution: Clean the mixer and discharge hopper on time to avoid consolidation of residual concrete and hinder normal operation.

What about the maintenance of small skip hoist type concrete batching plant after work
1. Clean the ash inside and outside the mixing tank wall, the discharge outlet, the mixing shaft, and the concrete residue on the discharge door. Wash these places with water. If necessary, can put a small number of stones and water mixing for a few minutes and then release. Clean additive tank and its supply system with water.
2.During the freezing season, the water pump, additive pump, water tank, additive tank, residual water, an additive in the pipeline of water and additive should be drained at the end of the work to prevent damage to the pump and its pipeline, and start the operation of the additive pump of the water pump for 1-2 minutes.
