Concrete batching plants

Nisthora for concrete batching plants.

Every pour is a batch cycle. Nisthora counts batches, records every stop, and watches mixers, conveyors and silos, so the plant keeps up with the trucks.

The challenge

What gets in the way.

Trucks waiting

A stopped plant means trucks queuing and pours delayed on site.

Mixer wear

Mixer blades, liners and gearboxes wear with every batch.

Recipe variety

Many mixes in a day, each with its own cycle.

What Nisthora connects to and measures.

Machines

  • Twin-shaft and pan mixers
  • Aggregate conveyors
  • Cement silos and screws
  • Weigh hoppers
  • Water and admixture dosing
  • Loading points

Readings

  • Batches completed
  • Mixing cycle time
  • Mixer motor current
  • Weighing results
  • Silo levels
  • Run / stop state

Typical stop reasons

  • Waiting for truck
  • Material shortage
  • Mixer cleaning
  • Weighing fault
  • Planned maintenance
  • Mix change

These are common examples. Each plant names its own machines and lines, and sets up its own stop reasons, in the words its team uses.

Traceability

Records for every batch

Each batch can be linked to its mix, cycle time, stops and readings.

A day with Nisthora

A plant's mixer motor current per batch is creeping up. Anomaly detection flags it, and mixer cleaning is planned before it affects the next morning's pours.

Example for illustration.
