In the harsh winters of Norway's north, where concrete production faces unique challenges, ELKON is proud to have supplied latest cutting-edge concrete batching plant to a local ready-mix company. This company, established in 1991, has been a supplier of concrete for various projects in the region. Their journey began with a focus on providing concrete for a new power plant project, a venture that required dedication and precision.

As time progressed, our customer's ambitions grew, prompting them to pursue expansion opportunities. They wanted to enhance their capabilities and streamline operations to meet the increasing demands of their region.

In this respect, they have expanded their operations and recently acquired ELKOMIX-90 Quick Master compact concrete mixing plant. The concrete plant is equipped with 4 aggregate bins with 30 m³ capacity each, can produce up to 75 m³ vibrated concrete per hour with its powerful 1500/1000 liters twin-shaft mixer. The mixer is equipped with high pressure automated washing system, which significantly reduces required time for cleaning inside the mixer.

Understanding the requirements of harsh winters of the region, special measures were taken to ensure smooth concrete production even in the coldest months which the temperature drops to 35-40°C under zero. The entire structure is meticulously enveloped by insulated panels, effectively shielding it from the outside conditions. Furthermore, a robust heating system is integrated, ensuring the thawing of aggregate, and keeping the water temperature in the proper level for concrete production.

This partnership between our company and the ready-mix company in Norway exemplifies a shared commitment to innovation, quality, and reliability. As the concrete plant stands ready to be installed in the northern reaches of Norway, we are confident that it will not only meet but exceed expectations, contributing to the success of future projects in the region.
