Why Ready-Mix Concrete is Better

While site-mixed concrete might seem cost-effective at first glance, it often leads to a host of problems during and after construction. Ready-mix concrete offers a dependable alternative with superior quality.

Comparison: Site-Mixed vs Anjani RMC

Aspect Site-Mixed Concrete Anjani RMC
Mixing Quality Inconsistent mixing in small mixer. Inconsistencies in mixture leading to poor quality. Consistent mixing in high-speed pan or turbo shaft mixer. Uniform strength guaranteed.
Material Storage Cement and aggregates stored in the open. Exposed to weather. Cement stored in watertight silos. Aggregates in enclosed bins. Protected from elements.
Proportioning Difficult to maintain batch-wise proportions. No traceability. Correct proportioning through computerized batching plants. Complete data storage.
Water Addition Manual and erratic water addition leads to poor quality. Accurately batched water maintains quality and durability.
Labor Requirements Laborious and time-consuming. Laborious human chain operations. Efficient site casting using concrete pump. Less labor required.
Raw Material Inspection No check/testing of incoming materials. Aggregate dumped along roadside. Raw materials checked before plant entry. Unacceptable grading is rejected.
Environmental Impact Creates dust and mess around site. Debris and contamination. Good housekeeping. Professional site management.
