Plant & technology

A computerised wet-mix batching plant at Gaulane, Nashik, with cement silos, an in-house laboratory and a transit-mixer fleet.

The ELR batching plant at Gaulane: cement silos, the mixer tower with the ELR boards, the covered conveyor and the batcher shed

Walk the plant

Drag to rotate, scroll or pinch to zoom, hover to name a part, click it to read what it does. Right-drag, middle-drag or double-click and hold to move the view; double-click a spot to centre on it. The plant runs on a loop: aggregate on the conveyor, the loader feeding the batcher, mixers loading, weighing out and coming back. Pick a station to fly there, or let the auto tour run. Modelled on drone and ground photographs of the ELR plant, simplified, not a survey drawing; the factory building beside it is left out.

The six stations

What happens to a batch from stockpile to cube test.

Aggregates

Sand and coarse aggregate arrive by tipper, are stocked by size and loaded into separate bins, one fraction per compartment.

4 bins · 1 fraction each · moisture checked

Batching

Each ingredient is weighed on its own load cells against the approved mix design: aggregates on the belt, cement from the silo, water and admixture in their hoppers.

Mixing

Everything meets in the twin-shaft mixer. Two counter-rotating shafts turn the batch into a homogeneous mix in seconds before it drops through the discharge hopper.

Transit

The transit mixer takes the batch under the chute, is weighed out and leaves with its docket: grade, quantity, batch time, truck. The drum keeps turning on the way.

6 m³ per load · docket on every truck

Pour

At site the slump is checked again, then the concrete is placed straight from the chute or through a boom or stationary pump, matched to the element being poured.

Cube test

Cubes cast from the delivered concrete are cured and crushed at 7 and 28 days in the lab, and the result is filed against the docket.

7 d and 28 d · IS 516 · results on record

Facility

Controlled batching, consistent mix design, quality-tested raw materials and an efficient production workflow.
