Aggregate Bunkers
The Heart of the Material
Aggregate bunkers, which form the foundation of a concrete plant, are critical equipment used for storing and dosing aggregates (stone materials) of different granulometric sizes, such as sand, gravel, and crushed stone. Since the quality of concrete largely depends on the accuracy and homogeneity of the aggregate mix, the performance of aggregate bunkers directly affects the entire production process.
Görevi ve Önemi
The primary function of aggregate bunkers is to store aggregates of different sizes in separate hoppers and to transfer them in a controlled manner to the weighing belt or conveyor system at the ratios specified in the concrete mix design. This precise dosing directly affects the properties of concrete, such as strength, workability, and durability. Mixing aggregates in the correct proportions is essential for obtaining a homogeneous and high-quality final product.
At Zeus Machine, we design and manufacture our aggregate bunkers based on the principles of durability, efficiency, and precision. The high-strength steel construction used in our bunkers resists bending and deformation even under the heaviest loads. The slope of the side walls is optimized to allow the material to flow easily, minimizing clogging issues. The lids and discharge mechanisms in each hopper provide precise dosing according to the recipe.
