Norman Emerson & Sons chose Rapid’s new Transbatch compact mobile batching plant to modernize their ready-mix concrete production at their Ardmore site.

Introduction

Norman Emerson & Sons Ltd, a key supplier of construction materials in Northern Ireland, updated their ready-mix facilities with the latest Rapid Transbatch mobile batching plant. This purchase continues a long-standing relationship with Rapid that goes back decades.

The Problem

Their existing batching plant was outdated, having been the very first Rapid plant they bought years ago. They needed to modernize with a solution that combined mobility, quick setup, and dependable performance to meet current production demands.

What Work Was Carried Out

Rapid provided the Transbatch, a compact and fully mobile plant available in different output capacities ranging from 40 to 100 cubic meters per hour. It includes foldable stairs and walkways allowing the whole unit to be towed on a single load. Setup is straightforward requiring no foundations, making it suitable for tight schedules. The plant has four aggregate bins with pneumatic discharge, a large weighing belt, and a cement weigh hopper with vibrators to keep the cement flowing. An automatic control room is positioned near the truck loading area, complete with load cells and control systems. The heart of the plant is the robust built-in Twin Shaft Mixer, designed with long-lasting wear parts and easy hydraulic discharge.

The Results

The new Transbatch offers Norman Emerson & Sons an efficient, portable solution ideal for remote projects such as road construction, wind farm bases, and warehouse flooring. Rapid’s dedicated spares team supports the plant with quick access to replacement parts, helping keep production uninterrupted.

Closing Note

This upgrade underscores Rapid’s ongoing commitment to quality and long-term partnerships, providing equipment built to meet both current and future needs.
