First, and most obvious, Cemco’s solution saves money every single time you need to do a setup or take down.  The plant, auxiliary silo, and central mixer are all self-erecting with the pull of a handle.  The whole setup with feeder conveyors and everything can be setup in ½ day with two men and some basic tools.  Everything is pre-wired and pre-plumbed, and all electrical and hydraulic connections are of the quick connect type and are clearly labeled.

Second, and more discrete, Cemco’s equipment saves money on the big maintenance.   Our Central Mix drum is essentially the shaft in a large ball bearing; therefore, there is not a track and rollers like every other mixer.  This means that the load is distributed around our drum instead of focused on the two drive points like other drums.  With a more even load distribution, we do not run into drum cracking problems.  We do not have severe maintenance requirements on our drum rotation system.  The user simply needs to grease the bearing periodically and change the oil on our motor gear boxes.

Waiting for the doors to open 2012.

Over the fifty years we’ve done plant controls, we have experienced plenty of different plant styles and configurations. We have been very impressed with Cemco equipment from the aspect of their portability and their accuracy. In the last two years we have installed our equipment alongside their plants in extremely remote areas, which is a testament to the convenience of setup and ease of operation using a completely self contained, self erecting batch plant.

You’re literally going from zero production to batching 180 cu yards/hour in matter of hours. Their decumm style batching is tremendously accurate and fast. Above all they’re a tremendous family run operation and are a great bunch of people to work with.

If turnkey portability and consistent throughput is what you’re looking for, than look no further than Cemco.

The 38 Year History (1975-2012)

Introduced to the commercial construction industry in Houston, Texas in February 1975, World of Concrete presented 77 exhibiting companies in 22,200 net square feet of exhibit space with 1,550 construction industry professionals in attendance. 38 years later, World of Concrete now boasts more than 1,300 exhibiting companies and 50,000 registered industry professionals in more than 500,000 square feet of exhibit space. The addition of World of Masonry and Technology for Construction expanded the range of attendees to include these important segments of the construction industry.

EXHIBITS:

Original equipment manufacturers from around the world and exclusive U.S. distributors of equipment, tools, products and services for the commercial construction, concrete and masonry industries. WOC attracts approximately 1,300 exhibitors and occupies more than 500,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor exhibit space.

Are you batching effectively?

Jonel’s Archer concrete batch control system gives you a performance edge by combining speed & accuracy, flexibility, and connectivity all in one system.

VISUAL CONTROL
Jonel’s industry leading Archer concrete batching system is a blend of software and hardware based solutions tailored to meet the exact application your plant demands. For almost fifty years, our concrete batch controls have been driving the production demands of our customers the world over.

POWERFUL ANALYTICS
Archer introduces a powerful production “dashboard” reporting tool. Easily identify operating trends, drill down to determine root cause issues and chart key performance indicators.

ADVANCED SERVER ARCHITECTURE
Archer provides multiple user access to the same batch system at the same time, allowing information to be distributed and configuration to be maintained from anywhere, anytime.

Five areas to evaluate your batching control solution:

• Speed & accuracy – Quicker cut-off response times are the result of our unique “dual processor” design. Jogging of fill gates is virtually eliminated, allowing your readymix plant to run at full speed. Our proprietary “Intelligent Free-Fall” system keeps track of each material fill and automatically adjusts for cut-off variations.
• Flexibility – Every concrete batching system includes an integrated Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) that allows every aspect of your plant to be controlled, without adding relays and custom wiring. Custom batching equipment such as material distribution, water reclamation, and silo monitoring can be easily integrated into the concrete batch control system, saving you the expense of buying and maintaining separate systems.
• Remote Batching – Using Jonel’s exclusive “Virtual Console” system, you can operate your plant over a network or by modem – perfect for satellite plants. With options for remote cameras and driver control consoles, a complete central batch operation can be achieved.
• Connectivity – To help distribute information throughout your organization, the batch computer can be connected to almost any dispatch, ticketing, and operation management system. Eliminating redundant data entry enhances productivity and reduces loading errors.
• Ease of use – Our Archer Batching Controls are extremely easy to learn and use. With simple single key-press operation, on-screen help, and color-coded status displays, anyone can learn to use the system in minutes.
