Concrete Equipment Maintenance: Best Practices for Batching Plants, Mixers and More

For construction firms working across high-output projects, keeping concrete equipment is the single most-effective way to ensure things run smoothly. No matter the machine - from concrete mixers to batching plants, effective maintenance can work to extend the lifespan of your machinery.

At Utranazz, we support our customers long after purchase with expert servicing, spare parts, and machine-specific guidance. In this article, we outline the best practices for maintaining your core concrete equipment and keeping your operations running smoothly, project after project.

Routine Servicing

Routine servicing is essential to any effective equipment management strategy as catching minor issues early helps avoid major downtime and costly repairs in the long run. Every piece of equipment in your fleet has different maintenance needs depending on age, usage, and site conditions.

We always recommend referring to the manufacturer for machine-specific servicing intervals and part-replacement guidance. For any equipment purchased through Utranazz, our team is on-hand to provide tailored advice and support throughout your ownership.

Maintaining Batching Plants

Batching plants are essential for producing concrete to precise specifications and volumes. When parts become worn or misaligned, the quality of your concrete can suffer, and so can your productivity.

Checking the calibration regularly ensures your batching plant is producing the right proportions, helping you to avoid waste and reduce costs. Cleaning the equipment daily also prevents hardened concrete from damaging components over time.

Looking After Your Concrete Mixers

While batching plants create the mix, it’s the mixers that ensure concrete reaches its destination. Concrete residue that’s left to harden can reduce the quality of your mix - meaning, keeping the drum and internal blades free from build-up is essential. Many of our customers use a release oil on their mixers to protect the chutes and back-section from concrete build-up and make them easier to clean. We supply a range of eco-friendly release oils and concrete cleaners: https://www.utranazz.com/u-block-moulds/25l-bioguard-release-oil-
