2015 WORLD OF CONCRETE
The 2015 World of Concrete marks the debut of the Con-E-Co Lo-Pro
327S mobile batch plant, achieving what company engineers note is
a new level of performance. A compact, self-erecting and self-con-
tained model, it features an in-truss dust control system, weighed
water batcher, and the Lo-Pro's blending cement batcher and live-bot-
tom aggregate batcher.
"The Lo-Pro 327S is the newest addition to [our] ever expanding
line of mobile batch plants; it's all about faster setup and maximum
productivity," says Con-E-Co General Manager Neil Smith. "The built-
in hydraulic system self erects, while the low overall height means the
327S can be set on steel mats. Those are huge benefits for concrete
producers who need to minimize start-up time and setup costs."
As the company developed the new model, he adds, "We gathered
a great deal of feedback from customers across the country. The end
result is a new level of performance in a mobile, self-erecting, and
self-contained batch plant."
In addition to eliminating the need and associated costs of a crane
for setup, the Lo-Pro 327S features a frame-mounted, truck mixer
dust control system and a weighed water batcher that travel in place,
thereby eliminating additional freight costs. The plant's 13-ft., 2-in.
height from grade to the truck mixer-charging hood eliminates the
need to excavate for truck clearance.
