CBP180C — 180 m³/h Modular Container-Design Concrete Batching Plant

The CBP180C is the smaller of two modular concrete batching plants in the TRUEMAX range — a 180 m³/h plant built into a container-design structure that ships in modules, erects in roughly three hours for the main plant, and dismantles for the next site at the end of a project. Its production specification is identical to the stationary CBP180S — a JS3000 twin-shaft mixer with 4,500 L dry-fill capacity and 2 × 55 kW drive, a 4 × 20 m³ four-bin aggregate batcher, and the same ±1% / ±2% accuracy band — so the concrete coming off the plant is the same. What is different is everything around it: how the plant arrives on site, how fast it stands up, and what happens to it when the work is done.

That makes the CBP180C the plant for time-limited and relocatable projects at the 180 m³/h scale — multi-year highway and infrastructure contracts that will end, remote sites where erecting a permanent plant is impractical, expansion plants for a city RMC operation that may later move, and precast operations that follow the project rather than the location. The container-design structure ships compactly, installs without large foundations or extensive site civils, and can be packed up and moved when its job is done. The plant is built and tested at the TRUEMAX factory in Haining to ISO 9001:2015 and CE standards, with the same TRUEMAX or Italian Elettrondata (Betonwin) control system, mixer options from TRUEMAX, SICOMA or BHS, and the same complete after-sales programme — three-minute response, 24-hour solutions, remote intelligent service — as the rest of the line.

1. Main plant erected in roughly three hours — The container-design modules are engineered to interlock fast on site, with the main plant standing in about three hours rather than the days a stationary plant of this size takes. The full plant with silos, screws and connections follows on the same accelerated schedule.

2. Container-design modular structure — Each major subsystem — the aggregate batcher, the mixing tower, the weighing module, the control room — is built into a container-frame structure sized for road, rail and ocean shipping, so the plant arrives in pre-engineered packages rather than as loose components to be assembled.

3. Same 180 m³/h, JS3000 production specification — The mixer, weighing system, accuracy band and cycle time are identical to the stationary CBP180S — JS3000 twin-shaft with 4,500 L dry-fill, 2 × 55 kW drive, four 20 m³ aggregate bins, four aggregate types, 60-second automatic cycle, ±1% on cement, water and additive and ±2% on aggregate.

4. Dismantlable for relocation — When a project ends the plant can be dismantled and shipped to the next site, rather than being abandoned as fixed civil works. That changes its useful life as an asset — one CBP180C can serve several time-limited projects in succession.

5. Compact footprint and simplified civils — The container-design structure reduces the foundation work and site civils needed compared with a permanent stationary plant, useful on sites where excavation is restricted or the ground conditions argue against deep foundations.

6. Twin-shaft mixer and the full TRUEMAX system mix — JS3000 twin-shaft compulsory mixing with high-wear blades and liners, reliable shaft-end sealing and lubrication; double-gate double-speed aggregate batcher with anti-block discharge; top European-brand screw conveyors and three-point pull-weighing — every system the stationary plant uses, packaged into the modular structure.

7. SAFE · EP · EC · EFFICIENT design — Built around the brochure's four design pillars — Safety, Environmental Protection (sealed powder handling, fully enclosed mixer and aggregate belt), Energy Conservation, and Efficient operation — so the modular packaging does not compromise the safety, dust control or energy performance of the stationary range.

8. Intelligent control and one-stop service — TRUEMAX or Italian Elettrondata (Betonwin) control system, fully-automatic and manual modes, industrial-PC data storage with top European electrical components. Pre-sale tailored configuration, on-site three-hour erection, commissioning and operator training, three-minute service response, 24-hour solutions, and a remote intelligent service with self-diagnosis.

Dimensions & Working Range

The CBP180C's general arrangement is the same in pattern as the stationary range — JS3000 mixer at centre, four-bin aggregate batcher and belt on one side, cement silos and screw conveyors feeding the powder weigher above — but every subsystem ships as a container-frame module. The mixing tower lifts into place as a single piece, the four aggregate bins arrive as one prebuilt batcher, the weighing module is preconnected, and the control room is a finished container. Read the arrangement against the foundation plan and the truck-mixer flow; foundation requirements are reduced compared with a permanent stationary plant of this output.

Applications

The CBP180C suits projects whose output requirement matches the 180 m³/h stationary spec, but whose timeline, location or future plans favour a modular plant that erects fast and can be moved.

Multi-year time-limited infrastructure projects

Highway, rail, port and similar infrastructure contracts that run for two to five years and then end are natural fits — the plant produces at full stationary specification through the contract, then is dismantled and shipped to the next project rather than abandoned as sunk civil works.

Remote and difficult-access sites

On sites where the access road, ground conditions or permit regime make a permanent plant impractical, the container-design structure ships easily and erects on lighter foundations than a stationary plant of the same output requires.

Precast and project plants

Precast operations that follow a particular project — bridge precasting yards, segment plants, tunnel-lining segment yards — benefit from a plant that arrives in modules, runs for the project's duration and ships to the next site afterwards.

Expansion plants for RMC operators

Commercial ready-mix operators expanding into a new district often want a plant they can establish quickly, run for several years while testing the market, and potentially relocate later. A modular 180 m³/h plant gives them the production capability of a stationary CBP180S with that built-in flexibility.

FAQs

CBP180C or CBP180S — which 180 m³/h plant should I choose?

They produce the same concrete — same JS3000 mixer, same 4-bin batcher, same ±1% / ±2% accuracy, same 60-second cycle. The choice is about installation, not output. The CBP180C is the modular plant: erected in roughly three hours, with simplified foundations, and dismantled for the next site when the project ends. The CBP180S is the stationary plant: heavier foundations, longer installation, and built to stay in one place for the long term. Pick the CBP180C for time-limited, relocatable or remote work; pick the CBP180S for a permanent site.

What does “three hours for main plant erection” actually mean?

The main plant — the mixing tower, batcher and control room — is engineered to be lifted into place from its container modules in roughly three hours by site crane, much faster than the structural assembly a stationary plant of the same output requires. Connecting the cement silos, screw conveyors, electrical supply, water and air services, commissioning the controls and operator training take additional time on top of that. The three-hour figure is the structural erection of the main plant, not the time to first batch.

Does the modular structure compromise plant performance?

No. The production specification is the same as the stationary CBP180S — same JS3000 twin-shaft mixer, same 4 × 20 m³ aggregate batcher, same weighing system and same accuracy band. The modular structure is how the plant is packaged and erected, not what it produces; the concrete coming off it meets the same specification.

Can the plant really be dismantled and moved when the project ends?

Yes — that is the central point of the container-design. The major subsystems are built into transportable container-frame modules so they can be disconnected, lifted off their foundations and shipped to the next site. The structural assembly is reversible by design, where a stationary plant's structural fabrication is not. Foundations remain on site; everything above the foundations goes with the plant.

What foundations does it need?

Lighter than a stationary plant of the same output, because the modular structure spreads load through engineered container-frame bases rather than into a single heavy foundation slab. The exact requirement depends on ground conditions; foundation design is part of the TRUEMAX pre-sale package and is engineered to your site. Lighter foundations are a real cost saving on remote sites and an installation-speed advantage on every site.

Why does the spec read “(3,000 × 4) ± 2%” for aggregate and “(1,600 + 600) ± 1%” for cement?

Those are scale-design notations rather than weighing ranges. Aggregate weighing on the CBP180C is configured as four parallel weighers each sized to 3,000 kg, accurate to ±2%. Cement uses a primary 1,600 kg weigher plus a secondary 600 kg weigher (the “+”), giving two-stage coarse and fine weighing to ±1%. The accuracy band is identical to the stationary plant; the readout notation just describes how the scales are arranged.

What is included in the supply, and what is quoted separately?

Standard supply is the main plant in its modular container-design structure: JS3000 mixer, 4-bin aggregate batcher with belt conveyor, the weighing system, the control room and switchgear. Cement silos (sized to your project), screw conveyors, foundation design, transport, on-site three-hour erection, commissioning and operator training are configured and quoted to your project. The 198 kW total power figure is for the main plant and excludes silos and screws.

Modular vs stationary at the same output

TRUEMAX offers 180 m³/h concrete batching plants in two structural designs: the modular CBP180C and the stationary CBP180S. The production specification is identical between the two — the choice is whether the plant should be built to stay in one place or to move. A stationary plant is the right answer for permanent, long-term operations where the foundation investment is justified by the years of service that follow. A modular plant earns its place when the operation is time-limited, the site is remote, the foundations are restricted, or the plant may be relocated later. The same logic applies at 240 m³/h between the CBP240C and the CBP240S.

How a modular plant changes a project plan

Three hours of structural erection rather than days changes the project schedule in real terms: the plant is producing earlier, the site civils crew is freed sooner, and the contractor's cash-flow on the equipment shifts. At the back end, a plant that can be dismantled changes what the equipment is worth at the end of the contract — it stays an asset that can be redeployed rather than becoming sunk civils. Across multi-year infrastructure programmes, the modular design can amortise the plant across two or three successive projects.

Within the modular range

The TRUEMAX modular batching-plant family has two members: this CBP180C at 180 m³/h with a JS3000 mixer and four aggregate bins, and the larger CBP240C at 240 m³/h with a JS4000 and five aggregate bins. Both share the container-design structure, the three-hour main-plant erection, and the dismantlable architecture; both target the same time-limited and relocatable projects. The choice between them mirrors the choice between the stationary 180S and 240S — capacity and aggregate flexibility — without the long-term-fixed assumption.
