In the project, 195 m³/h capacity RCC fixed concrete plant produced by MEKA is used. In RCC plant, there are two 4,5m³ double shaft mixers on the main body. Highly resistant Ni-hard alloyed body abrasion resistant components, mixers and stripper pallets were specially designed for the RCC concrete to be produced. This plant operates smoothly under challenging conditions thanks to its high quality materials and special design, and it was designed and produced to meet high amounts of concrete needs within limited time.
