Creteheads, Owen Blevins, Concreteanswers.tv bringing you the internet's most passionate show about concrete plants and equipment. Today, Jim Amelung from Barnes Industrial Group is going to give us a nice little walk around on the CON-E-CO LoPro 327. Jim does an awesome job so I'd like you to listen up and check it out! This model of the LoPro 327 gets its name from the 327 barrel in truss cement silo. The cement is delivered into the cement batcher by two feeder screws. This particular plant has a nine-inch screw and a twelve-inch screw. Both screws start in unison when you start your weigh up and then, as you get close to your target rate the A-screw, which is your twelve-inch screw, shuts off, and your B-screw, which is the nine-inch screw, finishes out the weigh to get your target weight. This completes a more accurate way of weighing up cement versus the gravity flow out of a silo. On concrete batch plants have two different types of aggregate batchers. You have your conventional gate style batcher or the CON-E-CO live bottom conveyer batcher. What this conveyer will allow you to do is control the discharge of your aggregate with a variable speed drive on the belt. There are no gates on the batcher; the load is controlled on the belt by a trough that is located inside the batcher. And the material flows around that trough and up the belt, so you get a good ribbon discharge of both aggregate sand and rock as it's discharged into the redi-mix truck. CON-E-CO is known ...
