Modern concrete batch plants like the one in which MBS recently invested (offering both Wet mix and Dry mix) use high tech computer-aided controls to ensure that we can supply fast and accurate measurement of input constituents or ingredients.

Concrete performance is highly dependent on the accurate measurement of water, so systems often use digital scales for cementitious materials and aggregates, and moisture probes to measure aggregate water content as it enters the aggregate batcher to automatically compensate for the mix design water/cement ratio target.

Many producers find moisture probes work well only in sand, and with marginal results on larger sized aggregate. Wet mix concrete plants combine some or all of the above ingredients (including water) at a central location into a concrete mixer. So the concrete is mixed at a single point, and then simply agitated on the way to the job site to prevent setting (using agitators or ready mix trucks).

Batched particles delivered in a rotating drum mixer are more economical for mass pours and are the ideal solution for consistency in concrete slump etc.
