What is a PLD Serie Aggregate Hopper or Weigh Batcher
PLD series aggregate hopper is an automatic batching equipment with weighing hopper. A piece of aggregate batching equipment uses a loader or belt conveyor to load materials. It can also be used together with cement silos and other equipment to build fully automatic and semi-automatic batching plants. The cost is only 1/2-1/3 of the concrete batching plant of the same specification. Since it is very convenient to move and install, Aggregate hopper an ideal equipment for on-site concrete production.
PLD series aggregate hopper can automatically complete the batching process of 2-6 materials such as sand, stone, cement, etc. according to the concrete mix ratio designed by the user. It adopts electronic weighing, microcomputer control, digital display, and wired remote control operation. It has the advantages of accurate weighing, high batching precision, fast speed, strong control function, and easy operation.

Advanced Designs of Aggregate Hopper with Weighing
-
Large Storage Hopper Design
The storage hopper has a large volume, which reduces the number of times the loader loads materials in the later stage. The storage hopper has a screen to prevent large-size aggregates from entering the mixer, ensuring safe and reliable operation. -
Humanized Design, Easy Operation
Designed by GB10171 "Concrete Mixing Plant (Building)" standard, it is so easy to operate that you only need to press one button; the unloading angle of the bin door is optimized, and the double-leaf door form ensures smooth unloading. -
Strong Adaptability and Easy Installation
It can be combined with a mixer to form mixing plants of different forms (straight or L-shaped) and specifications. The cost is only 1/3 of that of a mixing plant of the same specification, and it is very convenient to move and install. -
Accurate Weighing and High Batching Precision
Electronic weighing, microcomputer control, digital display, remote control operation, with the advantages of accurate weighing, high batching precision, fast speed, strong control function, etc. -
Easy Operation of Batching Machine
Before work: the loader (manual loading can be used when the batching machine is installed underground) supplies sand, stone and other materials to each storage hopper. According to the instructions of the batching controller, enter the formula into the batching controller (the unused materials must be zero). After pressing the batching button, the batching machine will start the automatic batching program.
Concrete Weighing and Batching Process
Take the production process of a 4-hopper concrete batching machine as an example:
- The material I belt conveyor starts working and transports material I to the weighing hopper. When the weight of the material I reach its set value, the material I belt conveyor stops automatically.
- Then the material II belt conveyor automatically starts. When the material weight in the weighing hopper reaches the set values of material I and material II, the material I belt conveyor stops and the material III belt conveyor starts working.
- After the 4 materials are prepared, the machine is in the state of waiting for discharge. At this time, press the discharge button, the discharge belt conveyor starts to work, and the prepared concrete dry material is discharged into the mixer hopper.
- When discharging is completed, the discharging belt conveyor stops automatically and automatically starts the second batching cycle.
PLD Aggregate Hopper is composed of the following main systems:
- Feeding System: It consists of a storage hopper and a feeding device, which are generally arranged in a straight line. The loader loads the material, and its main function is to store the material. And under the control of the control system, the material is added to the weighing hopper. The feeding forms generally include: belt conveyor feeding and pneumatic feeding. Feeding system form: PLD800-1200 type, belt conveyor feeding;
- Weighing System: The weighing system is the key part of the batching machine, which consists of a weighing hopper, a hanging device, a weighing system sensor, a batching controller, etc. The weighing form is lever + single sensor, and the measurement is accurate.
- Electrical Control System: The electrical control system is the core part of the batching machine. Its function is to realize the weighing, display, operation and various automatic batching procedures of the whole batching machine. This system is mainly composed of the batching controller and the strong current circuit.
