90m³ Mobile Concrete Mixing Plant Installed in Arkhangai Province, Mongolia: Boosting Local Infrastructure

Introduction to Arkhangai Province

Arkhangai Province, nestled in the heart of Mongolia, is a region where ancient history and modern ambition converge. As one of the 21 provinces of Mongolia, it covers an area of approximately 55,313 square kilometers and is home to around 93,000 residents, with Tsetserleg serving as its administrative capital. Historically, it was part of the Orkhon Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and once the political center of the Mongol Empire, where remnants of ancient palaces and monasteries still stand as testaments to its glorious past. Today, Arkhangai is undergoing a period of significant transformation: the provincial government has launched a five-year infrastructure development plan (2023-2027) focusing on upgrading transportation networks, expanding residential areas, and supporting the growth of the mining and agriculture sectors. This surge in construction activity has highlighted a critical gap in local concrete production capacity—traditional manual mixing methods and small-scale fixed plants were unable to keep up with the volume, quality, and timeline requirements of large projects. It is in this context that our 90m³ mobile concrete mixing plant was selected as the ideal solution to empower Arkhangai’s development.

Local Cooperation Background & Project Initiation

The collaboration between our company and the Mongolian client originated from the client’s search for a concrete production solution that could adapt to Arkhangai’s unique challenges. After conducting a six-month market survey, the client—one of Mongolia’s leading construction firms specializing in infrastructure projects—identified three core pain points: long installation times of fixed plants delaying project kickoffs, frequent equipment breakdowns due to harsh weather, and high transportation costs for pre-mixed concrete from distant cities.

Our team was invited to participate in the bidding process, where we presented a customized plan tailored to Arkhangai’s conditions. We conducted on-site inspections of the client’s upcoming project locations, analyzing soil conditions, road accessibility, and local power supply stability. Based on these insights, we recommended the 90m³ mobile concrete mixing plant, emphasizing its mobility, climate resistance, and cost efficiency. After rigorous technical evaluations and comparative tests with three other international suppliers, our plant was chosen for its superior performance and alignment with the client’s long-term project goals. The contract was signed in early 2024, with the installation scheduled to coincide with the start of Arkhangai’s construction season.

• Mixing System: Equipped with a heavy-duty twin-shaft forced mixer with a net mixing capacity of 1500L. The mixer blades are made of high-wear-resistant alloy steel, capable of withstanding the abrasion from coarse aggregates common in Arkhangai. The mixing cycle is adjustable between 60-90 seconds, allowing for precise control over the homogeneity of concrete—critical for structural projects requiring high strength.
• Feeding System: Adopts a three-bin aggregate batcher with individual bin capacities of 1200L each, totaling 3600L. Each bin is equipped with an electronic weighing sensor with a precision of ±2%, ensuring accurate proportioning of sand, gravel, and crushed stone. The batcher also features an automatic vibration system to prevent material bridging, a common issue in dry and cold climates.
• Powder & Liquid Supply: Includes two vertical silos—one 50-ton for cement and one 30-ton for fly ash—both with level sensors and dust collectors. The water metering system uses an electromagnetic flowmeter with ±1% accuracy, and a liquid additive tank (500L) with a dosing pump for precise control of admixtures, which improve concrete workability in low temperatures.
• Mobility & Dimensions: Mounted on a heavy-duty trailer-type chassis with two axles and hydraulic support legs. The overall dimensions (12.5m length × 2.5m width × 4.2m height) comply with Mongolia’s road transportation regulations, allowing it to be towed by a standard truck without disassembly. The chassis is also treated with anti-corrosion coating to resist the salt and moisture from winter snowmelt.
• Power Configuration: The main motor has a power rating of 110kW, compatible with Mongolia’s 380V/50Hz three-phase power supply. For remote areas with unstable electricity—common in rural parts of Arkhangai—we offer an optional 150kW diesel generator with a fuel tank capacity of 500L, providing up to 8 hours of continuous operation.

Core Advantages of the Mobile Concrete Mixing Plant

Our plant stands out in Arkhangai’s competitive construction market due to its targeted advantages that directly address the region’s unique challenges and the client’s specific needs:

• Rapid Deployment & Installation: As demonstrated in the current project, the main structure was fully assembled in just 36 hours—far faster than fixed plants, which typically require 2-3 weeks of foundation construction and assembly. The plant arrives pre-assembled on the trailer chassis; on-site work only involves connecting power, testing systems, and calibrating weighing sensors. This speed is invaluable for Arkhangai’s short construction season (May to October), where every day saved translates to on-time project delivery.
• Superior Adaptability to Local Climate: Mongolia’s climate is extreme, with winter temperatures dropping to -30°C and summer bringing frequent dust storms. Our plant is engineered to withstand these conditions: electrical cabinets are insulated with rock wool and equipped with heating elements to prevent component freezing; aggregate bins have sealed covers and dust-proof gaskets to minimize dust inhalation; and the lubrication system uses low-temperature grease that remains fluid at -25°C. During a recent dust storm at the installation site, the plant’s dust collectors and sealed components prevented any operational disruptions.
• High Efficiency & Significant Cost Savings: The twin-shaft mixer achieves a mixing uniformity of over 95%, reducing material waste by 15% compared to single-shaft mixers. The fully automated control system—operated via a 10-inch touchscreen—eliminates the need for manual proportioning, cutting labor requirements from 5 workers to 3. Over the course of a typical 12-month project, this translates to approximately 40,000 in labor cost savings for the client. Additionally, producing concrete on-site eliminates transportation costs for pre-mixed concrete, which can be as high as 15 per cubic meter in remote areas of Arkhangai.
• Unmatched Flexibility for Multi-Site Projects: The client manages four major projects across Arkhangai this year, including two highway segments and two housing complexes. The plant’s mobility allows it to be relocated between sites in just 4-6 hours (including disassembly and reassembly), eliminating the need to invest in four separate fixed plants. This flexibility maximizes equipment utilization, with the plant operating at an estimated 85% capacity throughout the construction season.
• Strict Environmental Compliance: Mongolia has strengthened environmental regulations in recent years, particularly for construction activities near protected areas. Our plant is equipped with a pulse jet bag filter dust collector with a dust removal efficiency of 99.5%, ensuring emissions are well below the national standard of 50mg/m³. This compliance not only avoids potential fines but also aligns with the client’s commitment to sustainable construction—an important factor for securing government contracts in Arkhangai.
