Abstract

A mobile concrete batch plant including a wheeled, tilting main frame upon which are mounted a collection hood, an aggregate weigh batcher, and a cement weigh batcher. The collection hood is positioned at an end of the main frame that is raised above the ground when the batch plant is erected and the cement weight batcher is positioned above the collection hood. The aggregate weigh batcher is positioned at the opposite end of the main frame and a conveyor is provided between the aggregate weight batcher and the collection hood. A secondary frame is pivotally attached to the tilting main frame between the weigh batchers and a cement silo is pivotally attached to the secondary frame. The secondary frame carries screw conveyors to convey cement from the cement silo to the cement weigh batcher so that the batch plant can be erected by tilting the main frame, pivoting the secondary frame on the main frame to raise the screw conveyors above the cement weigh batcher, and tilting the silo to a vertical position over the main and secondary frames.
