There are various types of wet batch systems and the wet batch system is plant based mixer. This means that different component of concrete mixture such as cement, aggregate, and water is mixed in the system. Comparatively, the output of wet batch concrete plant is greater than dry batch concrete plant that is why it is frequently seen as large plants. Moreover, the wet batch concrete plant is necessary in the case mortar production is required. There are different mixers sizes that range from 0.8 m2 to 6 m2 and the largest mixer drum can adequately mix about 6 m2 plastic concrete in around forty five seconds. Furthermore, there are several factors for example, required to output, predominant type of mixes supplied, plant geometry, available space, initial and entire life expenses, upon which specific mixer is decided to be chosen.

Following are the available different types of wet batch mixers and its mixing action: Rotating Drum Mixer

    Rotating drum, freefall mixing action, none tilting.
    Rotating drum, freefall mixing action, tilting.

Fixed Trough Mixers

    Fixed mixing trough within which spiral blades revolve on horizontal shafts
    Fixed mixing trough within which paddles rotate on twin horizontal shafts

Pan Mixers

    Fixed horizontal pan in which mixing paddles travel around an annular channel
    Fixed horizontal pan in which mixing paddles travel around an annular channel while revolving about their own axis
    Fixed horizontal pan in which the mixing blades traverse the entire pan floor with a planetary motion
    Fixed horizontal pan in which two sets of mixing paddles travel around an annular channel in opposite directions
    Horizontal pan rotating beneath a stationary motor unit carrying paddles, the axes of rotation being non-coincident
