The paintings, however, function more than improve a ready mix concrete plant’s outlook. More importantly, they serve as a protector of the plant. ready mix concrete plants are usually used outdoors and therefore exposed to constant rains, snows, winds or frosts, which corrode the plant steel after long-term contacting with it. Once the ready mix concrete plants gets rusty, it’s difficult to remove the rust completely. Even if you can eliminate the rust, it soon get rusty again. This will affect properties of the plant after a period of time. It’s really worthless to maintain the plant frequently. Paintings isolate the air and steel efficiently, which greatly shortens the corrosive period and extend a plant’s service life. Painted surface and mixing tank of a concrete batching plant get worn much more slowly. Further more, there will be no rust pollutant in mixed concrete.
