Productivity
Besser is proud that each day, throughout North America, more concrete and concrete products are produced using Besser equipment than any other. Besser supports each batch plant with the industry’s longest warranty and a wide range of responsive services geared to maximizing plant performance. We are confident that your Besser batch plant will be highly productive, durable and drive your profits for many years.

Quality
Quality is the hallmark of Besser equipment. Besser uses its expertise and resources to design customized plants to customer specific requirements, in addition to offering a complete line of standard plants. Highly skilled staff follow the stringent Besser Quality System during the design, manufacture, assembly and testing of the plants. All Besser equipment is manufactured with precision machinery, insuring consistent quality every time. This attention to detail translates into plants that produce consistent concrete, batch after batch.

Durability
Durability is an equally important reason for the outstanding productivity of Besser batch plants. Besser batch plants have earned the reputation as “Heavyweight Performers” in the ready-mix industry.

Flexibility
Whatever your preference, Besser will design a batch plant to meet your needs. Besser has built custom-made aggregate bins with capacities up to 1000 tons that incorporate ten compartments and silos with capacities up to 375 tons, with four compartment configurations with diameters up to 24 feet.

 Mobile Systems 

Features:

• The new Besser Portable 180 LP batch plant is a high-performance, unitized low profile batch system designed to satisfy the requirements of larger capacity ready-mix concrete trucks. The plant is completely self-contained in an integrated framework and is easily towed to the manufacturing location. Once on site, the pre-wired, pre-plumbed unit is readily erected and positioned on an installation surface using 12 self-supporting legs.

• The standard plant will supply up to 180 cubic yards of concrete per hour and is CPMB rated for up to a 12 cubic yard batch per cycle. The three-or-four compartment aggregate bin has a 55 cubic yard (74 ton) capacity, and it can be extended to include 100 cubic yards (135 tons) within the basic framework.

• The Portable 180 LP batch plant incorporates a recirculation cement batcher and aggregate batcher supported by a load cell system. The aggregate batcher utilizes a 30" live bottom variable speed conveyor rather than conventional discharge gates and provides individual fill rates to each truck. Truck loading is accomplished with 180 degree access to the plant discharge.

• For rapid and versatile operation, the 900 cubic foot cement storage bin has two 10" diameter screw conveyors to feed the cement batcher, plus a 5 hp high volume, low pressure blower system to supply aeration.

Features:

• The plant is pre-assembled, wired and plumbed at the factory for quick and easy erection
• Aggregate sections have 90 to 167 ton capacities and are CPMB rated for 12 cubic yards of concrete
• Three or four equal aggregate compartments are offered with two clamshell gates per compartment
• The cement silos can accommodate from 2200 cubic feet (550/458 barrels) to 3500 cubic feet (875/729 barrels) volume of cementitious material
• Combination load cell arrangement accurately weighs the contents of the appropriated batchers
• Production capacities of up to 250 cubic yards per hour

Low Profile

Features:

• Modularly constructed aggregate bins, available in capacities from 70 to 200 tons, with three or four compartments
• Cement capacities from 300 to 1000 barrels
• Metered or weighed water system

Features:

• Batchers are pre-assembled, wired and plumbed at the factory for quick and easy erection
• Overhead aggregate bin modules are placed on the mainframe assembly providing a choice of large bin capacities
• Bins are constructed of 3/16” and 1/4” steel plates, the same strengths used for stationary plants
• Bin configurations for radial stacker and turn-head feed applications in capacities up to 300 tons of aggregate
• Capacities up to 1000 barrels of cement
