Components of Atlas WMM plants | Atlas Industries

WMM plants are an important part of any fleet of equipment for a contractor who undertakes road construction jobs. Also known as soil stabilization plans, these are used to produce materials that help in the stabilization of the soil prior to laying of hot mix asphalt.

In most cases, aggregates, sand is mixed with water along with some percentage of cement. The percentage of cement is usually 3-5% and may vary. Though in a small percentage, cement will act as a binding material in the mixture. Then this mixed material is laid to give proper strength to the floor.

The wet mix plant in India is sold with aggregate feeders, a primary vibrating screen, a charging conveyor with a load cell for weighing the aggregates, a pug mill mixer, load-out conveyor, and storage silos. A cement silo is also available with the plant for the addition of cement directly into the mixing unit.

COMPONENTS OF WMM PLANT

Atlas make WMM plant is manufactured for tough conditions. The components of the wet mix plant are very heavily designed. In fact, the pug mill mixer which is the mixing unit is very strong. It is designed to take heavy loads with ease and perform smoothly. The design is simple and maintenance-free. The shafts are unslotted and heavy and resting on 6 pedestals. Smooth performance, superior mixing, and reliable service support from Atlas make this a gem of a machine.

Below are the core components of WMM plant explained in brief:

Aggregate feeding system: Standard bins come with 4 feeders. Each bins have individual gates for controlled floe of aggregates. The number and size of bins can be customized. Each bin is provided with a gate for manual adjustment and individual belt beneath equipped with variable speed drive motors. There is a bigger gathering conveyor below each bins. These belts discharge materials into the gathering conveyor.

Vibrating screen: Aggregates from the gathering conveyor are transferred to the charging conveyor belt. While passing through the two belts they have to pass through a single deck vibrating screen. The screen is provided with a vibrator and prevents oversized material to reach the mixer.

Charging conveyor: The aggregates are transferred to the pug mill mixing unit by a charging conveyor. This conveyor is fitted with a load cell. Load cell will weigh the aggregates. It will then send a signal to the control panel. This helps the panel to synchronize the addition of cement and water into the mixing unit.

Mixing unit: Mixing unit is built on a rugged structure. It is a continuous pug mill mixer. All the liner plates, arms and tips are easy replaceable. It’s a sturdy mixer with easy to maintain design. This mixing unit consists of two shafts. These shafts have arms fitted on them parallel to each other.

Water tank: Water tank of suitable capacity is supplied. It is connected to the pug mill mixer with the help of a pipe and the plant comes with water pump for transfer of water to the mixer. Depending on the input from the load cell, the flow of water is controlled.

Control cabin and panel: Control cabin houses the control panel. Control panel is a microprocessor PLC type depending on the choice of the customers. The easy to use software allows easy learning of the same.

Storage silo: Suitable sized storage silos are available. They help in storage of the material before discharge of the material into the trucks. Silo is on a heavy structure with hydraulically operated gates for open-close mechanism.

Cement addition: Cement addition is possible with the help of cement silo or hopper. A screw conveyor is equipped for addition of cement into the mixing unit.

Plc And Microprocessor Control Panel - Atlas Industries

PLC Control Panel is a gigantic microprocessor. Controller Unit is designed for customized high-end automation. A PLC may contain many microprocessors. PLC is preferred over microprocessors in automation. Hence in our   asphalt and concrete plants,   we have the option of a PLC control panel. It allows us to have a high degree of accuracy and customization. PLC is a Programmable Logic Controller where a high degree of accuracy, reliability, customization, and precision is required. PLC Control Panel can take input from various sensors and give logical output.  Microprocessor Controller  is possible to view this data in a graphical manner through an HMI or a monitor. In a concrete or asphalt plant, we need to observe many readings/data. Combine the same to graphically represent the same on a screen. Even the basic functionality like increasing or decreasing any parameter will be easy. How does an Asphalt PLC Work? PLC or Programmable Logic Controller is a computer tha...

160 Tph Wet Mix Macadam Plant For Myanmar | Atlas Industries

Atlas has dispatched its 160 tph wet mix macadam plant for Myanmar. This is our second soil stabilization plant. The plant is equipped with components and wiring complete in all aspects. This will allow us to produce in quick time. The machine selected is a stationary type. Wet mix macadam plants usually mix different sizes of aggregates along with cement and water. This addition is done in the pug mill type mixing unit. Each material is weighed separately before it gets into the mixing zone. The percentage of cement added in the wet mix macadam plant is usually 3-5%. Wet Mix Plant Export Myanmar : WMM Plant capacity is rated at 160 TPH. There are some factors that will affect the same. The aggregate mean density should be 1.6 ton/m3. If soil is sticky then the production will drop by at least 20%. The reason is that as the soil gets sticky they render more load on the mixing blades. The mixing blades then give more load on the gear and motor. Hence to avoid excessive wear and tear or...

What are the main components of the asphalt mixing plant?

There are many components that work in unison to make this plant complete. The feeder bins, dryer drums, filters for environment protection, tower unit, control panel, etc. Each component is discussed in detail below. Cold aggregate feeders: Cold aggregate feeders are the starting point for any batch process of the plant. They will hold the cold and virgin aggregates in separate bins according to their sizes. Different aggregate sizes have to be in separate bins because they will be controlled by the frequency-controlled drives. Charging conveyor and vibrating screen: Vibrating screen here is a single deck primary scalping screen designed for the removal of oversized aggregates. As the aggregates pass through the screen it helps in separating the bigger particles from the rest. From below the screen, a conveyor runs straight to the drying drum. This conveyor takes the aggregates from below the vibrating screen and transfers the same to the drying drum. Burner and drying drum: This drum...
