The West Java Provincial Government has provided 18 self-loading\nconcrete mixer vehicles, known as mobile batching plants. The vehicles\ncan automatically and independently produce concrete directly at project\nsites.<\/p>\n
West Java\u2019s Head of the Highways and Spatial Planning Agency, Agung\nWahyudi, said the mobile batching plant is a multifunctional vehicle\nthat can load, weigh and mix concrete-making materials, then transport\nthe concrete, all in one unit.<\/p>\n
With this equipment, building village roads in remote or\nhard-to-reach parts of West Java is no longer a problem. Roads can still\nbe built and repaired even when sites are far from a concrete plant.<\/p>\n
\u201cIts compact design and robust wheel-drive system make it highly\nreliable for projects on difficult terrain, narrow roads or in remote\nlocations inaccessible to large mixer trucks,\u201d Agung said in a statement\non Monday (19 October 2026).<\/p>\n
Mobile batching plants offer several advantages over manual methods\nor conventional mixer trucks, including greater labour efficiency. The\nequipment is designed to be operated by one person, with the processes\nfrom loading to pouring controlled directly from the cabin.<\/p>\n
The plants also offer high mobility and flexibility. A large shovel\nat the front scoops up concrete materials such as sand, gravel and\ncement directly from piles, without the need for an external wheel\nloader.<\/p>\n
The materials are weighed using a sensor-based digital weighing\nsystem to ensure the proportions match the required concrete mix. This\nintegrated system helps minimise the risk of human error in measuring,\nhelping to maintain concrete quality.<\/p>\n
The materials are then mixed with water from an integrated tank\ninside the mixer drum to produce a uniform concrete mixture. The mobile\nbatching plant transports the fresh concrete directly to the pouring\npoint at the project site and discharges it precisely.<\/p>\n
\u201cMaterials can be mixed while the unit is travelling along the road\nto the pouring site. This cuts the waiting time for concrete deliveries\nfrom an external batching plant,\u201d Agung said.<\/p>\n
West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi said the vehicles are part of the\nprovincial government\u2019s efforts to accelerate the provision of essential\nservices for residents.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese are vehicles intended for casting concrete roads, so the\nconcrete no longer has to be mixed at a plant,\u201d Dedi said.<\/p>\n
He also stressed that the mobile batching plants were not purchased\nwith his personal money, but with government funds sourced from\ntaxes.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is one way for the government to return tax money to the public\nby providing public facilities,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The mobile batching plants are already being used to build roads in\nseveral locations, including Margamulya village in Pangalengan district,\nBandung regency; Pamoyanan ward in Cianjur district and regency; and\nDukuh village in Bandung regency.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/west-java-prepares-18-mobile-batching-plants-to-build-roads-in-remote-villages-1792396318", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
