Concrete Cooling Systems
Chilled water and ice, planned around your batching operation.
Bring water cooling, ice production, storage and controlled delivery into one coordinated equipment plan for your concrete plant.
Built around your application
- Concrete batching plants
- Dams & bridges
- Large infrastructure pours
Understand the system
From the ice plant
to the concrete mixer.
See the main equipment and interfaces in one layout. Explore the numbered groups below for the role of each component.
01–04Ice production & delivery
Ice production, refrigeration, storage and delivery are planned around the required cooling duty and batching schedule.
- 01Ice production & storage
- Generate ice and hold a buffer for peak batching periods.
- 02Cooling towers
- Reject heat from the refrigeration system where water cooling is selected.
- 03Ice conveying
- Transfer ice from the store towards the batching equipment.
- 04Day tank & ice dosing
- Buffer ice near the mixer and coordinate dosing with the agreed batching arrangement.
05–07 / 09Batching plant interfaces
Connect the cooling package to the mixer, material handling and batching controls. Supply responsibilities are defined for each project.
- 05Concrete mixer
- Receives the agreed ice and water quantities within the mixing process.
- 06Cement silos
- Part of the batching plant material supply.
- 07Aggregate bins & conveyor
- Part of the batching plant aggregate handling.
- 09Batching controls
- Coordinate the agreed equipment signals and production sequence.
08Optional aggregate precooling
Consider aggregate precooling where the material temperatures and concrete temperature target require it.
- 08Aggregate precooling
- Water circulation and cooling equipment are selected for the project duty and site arrangement.
Inside a working installation
One system.
Coordinated operation.
For larger ice plants, ice generators, compressor capacity, refrigeration pipework and PLC control are planned together. Freezing and harvesting sequences are coordinated with storage and delivery to the batching plant.
Sequenced operation
Plan freezing and harvesting across the system through PLC control.
Demand-led storage
Match production, buffer storage and delivery to daily demand and peak batching periods.
Make it. Store it. Deliver it.
Produce
Make ice within a coordinated refrigeration system.
Store
Buffer the difference between ice production and batching demand.
Convey
Arrange controlled discharge and screw conveyors around the plant layout.
Supply the mixer
Deliver to a day tank near the mixer. Coordinate ice dosing with the mix-water allowance and mixing cycle.
Chilled water alongside the ice supply
Plan the water
and ice together.
Chilled-water equipment can be planned alongside the ice system. Define water temperature, flow, buffer storage and supply around the concrete mix and operating schedule.
- Water cooling
- Insulated storage
- Pumped supply
