CBP240C — 240 m³/h Modular Container-Design Concrete Batching Plant (Largest Modular)

The CBP240C is the larger of two TRUEMAX modular concrete batching plants — a 240 m³/h flagship modular 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. It steps up from the 180 m³/h CBP180C with a JS4000 6,000 L twin-shaft mixer (a third more concrete per batch than the JS3000), and a wider 5-bin aggregate batcher with 40 m³ per bin — five aggregate types instead of four, double the per-bin reserve. Like its smaller sibling it ships compactly, installs on lighter foundations than a stationary plant of the same output requires, and can be packed up and moved when the work is done.

That makes the CBP240C the plant for the largest time-limited and relocatable projects: mega-highway and high-speed-rail contracts, large airport pavement programmes, major dam and hydropower works, and tunnel and bridge precast yards whose schedules run several years and then end. Output is identical to the stationary CBP240S — same JS4000 mixer, 5-bin batcher and ±1% / ±2% accuracy — but the structure is built to be erected fast and taken down for the next project, rather than to stay in one place for the long term. 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.

1. 240 m³/h flagship modular output — TRUEMAX's largest modular plant — top of the modular range, matching the stationary CBP240S on output but built for fast erection and later dismantling.

2. JS4000 6,000 L twin-shaft mixer — The 6,000 L twin-shaft mixer with 2 × 75 kW drive turns out roughly 4,000 L of compacted concrete per batch, a third more than the JS3000 on the CBP180C. SICOMA and BHS twin-shaft mixers are available as alternatives, all with high-wear blades and liners and reliable shaft-end sealing.

3. Five-bin, five-aggregate batcher with 40 m³ bins — Five bins at 40 m³ each carry five aggregate types — one more aggregate and double the per-bin reserve compared with the CBP180C's 4 × 20 m³ batcher. Five aggregate types support the more complex gradations used on high-performance and mass-concrete mixes.

4. Three-hour main-plant erection — The container-design modules lift into place from their shipping configuration with the main plant standing in roughly three hours — the same accelerated erection as the 180 m³/h modular, sized up to the JS4000 module and the larger aggregate batcher.

5. Dismantlable for relocation between projects — Every major subsystem is built into a container-frame module that disconnects and ships, so one CBP240C can serve several time-limited projects in succession rather than being abandoned as sunk civils at the end of one.

6. Lighter foundations than the stationary equivalent — Loads are spread through engineered container-frame bases rather than a single heavy foundation block, which reduces site civils on permanent ground and makes the plant practical on sites where deep foundations are restricted.

7. Same production specification as the stationary flagship — Same JS4000 mixer, same 5-bin aggregate batcher, same ±1% on cement, water and additive and ±2% on aggregate, same 60-second automatic cycle — the concrete coming off the plant matches the stationary CBP240S.

8. SAFE · EP · EC · EFFICIENT design with full TRUEMAX service — Built around the brochure's four design pillars (Safety, Environmental Protection through sealed powder handling, Energy Conservation, Efficient operation), with sealed mixer and aggregate belt, intelligent control, three-minute service response, 24-hour solutions and a remote intelligent service with self-diagnosis.

Dimensions & Working Range

The CBP240C's layout follows the same modular pattern as the smaller CBP180C, scaled to the JS4000 mixing tower and the 5 × 40 m³ aggregate batcher. The mixing tower lifts into place as a single container-frame piece; the five aggregate bins arrive as one prebuilt batcher; the weighing module is preconnected; the control room is a finished container. Foundation requirements are reduced compared with a stationary plant of the same output, but the larger mixer and batcher do increase load relative to the 180 m³/h modular — the foundation design is engineered to the site as part of the pre-sale package. Read the general arrangement against the foundation plan, silo battery and truck-mixer flow.

Applications

The CBP240C suits the largest projects whose timeline or location makes a modular plant the right answer — mega-projects with definite end dates, programmes that span several sites, and remote works where a stationary 240 m³/h plant would be impractical.

Mega-highway and high-speed-rail contracts

Multi-year highway, expressway and high-speed-rail contracts that need sustained 240 m³/h supply and then end are the natural application — the plant produces at full flagship specification through the contract and ships to the next.

Major airport pavement programmes

Airport runway, taxiway and apron base layers, plus rigid concrete pavement on aprons, draw exactly the throughput and aggregate flexibility the CBP240C is built for, on sites where the airport's operational timeline makes a relocatable plant attractive.

Tunnel, bridge and precast project plants

Tunnel-lining segment precasting, bridge segment and beam yards, and similar large precast operations that follow specific projects suit a modular plant — one CBP240C can be redeployed from one major precast yard to the next.

Dam, hydropower and remote infrastructure

Large dam and hydropower projects often sit in remote terrain where erecting a permanent stationary plant is impractical and the project has a fixed end. A 240 m³/h modular plant ships into difficult sites in container modules and erects on lighter foundations than its stationary equivalent.

FAQs

CBP240C or CBP240S — which 240 m³/h plant should I choose?

Same output, same JS4000 mixer, same 5-bin batcher, same ±1% / ±2% accuracy. The choice is about installation, not capacity. The CBP240C is the modular plant: erected in roughly three hours, with simplified foundations, and dismantlable for the next project when the work ends. The CBP240S is the stationary plant: heavier foundations, longer installation, and built to stay in one place for the long term. Pick the modular plant for time-limited or relocatable mega-projects; pick the stationary plant for permanent flagship RMC stations or multi-decade fixed operations.

CBP240C or CBP180C — which modular plant fits my project?

Capacity and aggregate flexibility. The CBP240C produces 240 m³/h from a 6,000 L JS4000 mixer with 5 aggregate bins at 40 m³ each; the CBP180C produces 180 m³/h from a 4,500 L JS3000 with 4 bins at 20 m³ each. Both share the container-design structure, the three-hour main-plant erection and the dismantlable architecture. Choose the CBP240C when sustained demand exceeds 180 m³/h or when the mix design genuinely needs a fifth aggregate type; choose the CBP180C otherwise.

Does three-hour erection really apply at this size?

Yes — the modular principle is the same, scaled to the JS4000 module and the 5-bin batcher. The main plant (mixing tower, batcher and control room) lifts from container modules into its working configuration in roughly three hours by site crane. Connecting the cement silos, screw conveyors, electrical supply and services, then commissioning and operator training, takes additional time on top of that. The three-hour figure is the structural erection of the main plant.

What does the modular structure change in terms of foundations?

Loads are spread through engineered container-frame bases rather than into a single heavy foundation slab, so foundations are lighter than for a stationary CBP240S of the same output. That said, a 240 m³/h plant carries large equipment loads — the JS4000 mixer module and the 5 × 40 m³ batcher in particular — and the foundation is still engineered to the site rather than being trivial. TRUEMAX provides foundation design as part of the pre-sale package.

How is concrete-output quality assured at this scale?

By using exactly the same mixing and weighing systems as the stationary flagship. JS4000 twin-shaft compulsory mixing, three-point pull-weighing with double-speed coarse and fine batching and air-exchange compensation between powder weigher, mixer and storage hopper, ±1% on cement, water and additive and ±2% on aggregate. The modular structure changes how the plant is packaged and erected; it does not change the production engineering.

Why does the spec read “(5,000 × 4) ± 2%” for aggregate when the batcher has five bins?

The five bins feed into four parallel aggregate weighers — bins can be paired or staged into the weighers, with the weighers sized to a 5,000 kg target each. Cement uses a primary 2,400 kg weigher plus a secondary 800 kg weigher (the “+”), giving two-stage coarse and fine weighing to ±1%. The notation describes how the scales are arranged; the accuracy band is identical to the stationary CBP240S.

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

Standard supply is the main plant in its modular container-design structure: JS4000 mixer, 5-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 separately. The 245 kW total power figure is for the main plant and excludes silos and screws.

Where the CBP240C sits in the TRUEMAX range

The CBP240C sits at the top of the modular batching-plant family, alongside the smaller CBP180C at 180 m³/h. Across the wider TRUEMAX line it has a stationary counterpart in the CBP240S — same output, same JS4000 mixer, same 5-bin batcher, different structural design. The decision tree is straightforward: at 240 m³/h, choose the modular CBP240C when the project is time-limited, the site is remote, foundations are restricted, or the plant may be redeployed afterwards; choose the stationary CBP240S when the location is permanent and the long-term foundation investment is justified.

A mega-project plant that can move on

Three hours of structural erection rather than days changes the project schedule, and a plant that can be dismantled changes what the equipment is worth at the end of the contract. On a programme of two or three successive 240 m³/h projects — a sequence of major contracts running over a decade — a CBP240C can amortise across all of them rather than being written off as sunk civils after the first. That changes the equipment economics for contractors who win infrastructure work as a pipeline, where a stationary flagship plant changes them for owners building permanent assets.

Choosing between the 180 m³/h and 240 m³/h modular

The decision mirrors the one between the stationary CBP180S and CBP240S, without the assumption of a permanent site. Output, in cubic metres per hour, must match the project's sustained demand — the CBP180C is the modular at 180 m³/h, the CBP240C at 240. Aggregate flexibility steps up at the larger plant from four bins to five, and from 20 m³ per bin to 40 m³, so the larger modular carries more material and one extra type. If the project demands the flagship specification but the work is time-limited or relocatable, the CBP240C is the model TRUEMAX builds for it.
