Facing a tight deadline for a flagship urban development, our client needed a partner they could trust to deliver and install a robust concrete batching solution in the challenging environment of the DRC. The successful installation of the Shanghe HZS120 plant not only met this immediate need but has since become a cornerstone of their operations, boosting production capacity, ensuring consistent quality, and solidifying their position as a key player in the nation’s growth.
The Challenge: Building the Future Against the Clock
Our client was contracted for a large-scale infrastructure project requiring a massive, uninterrupted supply of high-quality concrete. Relying on multiple, smaller plants or distant suppliers was logistically complex, costly, and risked project delays. They needed an on-site, high-volume solution that could:
Accelerate Time-to-Production: Rapid installation and commissioning were non-negotiable.
Achieve High Output: Produce over 100 cubic meters of high-quality concrete per hour.
Withstand a Demanding Environment: Operate reliably in a tropical climate with dust, heat, and humidity.
Ensure Mix Consistency: Deliver precise batching for structural integrity across all project phases.
Overcome Local Logistics: Manage complex importation and local supply chain hurdles.
The Solution: A Tailored Shanghe HZS120 Installation
After a thorough consultation, the Shanghe HZS120 was selected as the ideal plant for its proven durability, high efficiency, and advanced control systems. Our solution was a comprehensive turnkey package:
We conducted extensive operator and maintenance training for the client’s team, empowering them to run the plant safely and efficiently for the long term.
Pre-Delivery Planning & Customization:
We worked closely with the client to customize the plant layout for their specific site.
All components were pre-assembled and rigorously tested at our factory before shipment to minimize on-site work.
Efficient Logistics & Import Handling:
Our experienced project management team managed the entire international logistics chain, navigating customs and ensuring all components arrived at the Port of Matadi and were transported to Kinshasa without major delays.
Expert On-Site Installation:
We dispatched a team of specialized engineers to lead the installation. They worked alongside the client’s local crew, providing hands-on training and ensuring every step—from foundation preparation to electrical wiring—met our stringent standards.
Commissioning & Comprehensive Training:
Upon assembly, the plant was meticulously calibrated and commissioned.
Key Features That Made the Difference
The HZS120’s design was pivotal to the project’s success:
- Fully Automatic Control System: Simplified operation with a touchscreen PLC, ensuring recipe accuracy and reducing human error.
- Four-Inch Water Meter: Guaranteed fast and precise water measurement, critical for consistent concrete slump and strength.
- Robust Mixer: The powerful twin-shaft mixer ensured fast and homogenous mixing of even the toughest mixes.
- Modular Design: Allowed for faster, more straightforward assembly in a remote location.
The Results: Transforming Concrete Production
The operational Shanghe HZS120 plant delivered immediate and transformative results:
✓ Local Skill Development: The installation process upskilled the local workforce, creating valuable jobs and expertise.
✓ Surpassed Production Targets: Consistently produces 120 m³/hour, exceeding the project’s requirements and enabling faster construction progress.
✓ Unmatched Quality Control: Delivered a 100% consistency in mix quality, leading to superior structural integrity and compliance with all engineering specifications.
✓ Significant Cost Savings: Eliminated reliance on third-party suppliers and reduced transportation costs, increasing our client’s profit margins.
✓ Enhanced Operational Capability: Established our client as the go-to contractor for other large-scale projects in the region, thanks to their new in-house production capacity.
