Skene Group expanded their ready mix capabilities with a custom-built Rapid International plant designed for fast and efficient concrete batching.

Introduction

Skene Group, a leading construction supply company based in Scotland, commissioned Rapid International to deliver a ready mix plant for their Glenrothes depot. The new plant was modeled on a previous successful installation to meet their growing production needs.

The Problem

Skene Group needed a facility that could quickly and reliably load 8 cubic meter mixer trucks in about four minutes. This speed was essential to keep up with demand and maintain smooth operations at their depot.

What Work Was Carried Out

Rapid International designed and installed a ready mix plant capable of producing up to 90 cubic meters per hour. The setup includes three large cement silos, a Rapid R2000 pan mixer, and significant aggregate storage. It uses the Pneutrol Dynamix Batching Control System to ensure precise, safe batching. Rapid tailored the plant to handle over 1000 cubic meters of concrete per day, with attention to both performance and operator safety.

The Results

Skene Group achieved their target to efficiently load 8 cubic meter mixer trucks within the set timeframe. The plant’s reliable performance and custom features have supported their operations, helping maintain high-quality output and consistent production rates.

Closing Note

With this bespoke plant, Skene Group benefits from a durable and efficient solution that delivers both precision and productivity, reflecting Rapid’s commitment to quality and customer-focused design.
