SUPPLY OF A MORTAR PLANT AND SITE SUPERVISION

The customer required a 25 t/h mortar plant capable of producing a wide range of mortar products. The final product had to be supplied both in 25 kg palletized bags and in individual 5 kg bags.

Aggregates were fed into the plant using a wheel loader, and the stockpile area was located outdoors, making an aggregate drying system necessary. In addition, the aggregates arrived directly from the quarry without prior classification, so the installation was complemented with a drying mill and a screening unit.

One of the main features of this plant was a height restriction imposed by the construction permit. To comply with this requirement, a tower-type structure was designed with its first two levels located below ground level.
