Dry Mix Concrete Batching Plant in Norway: HZS50G Installation for Remote Fjord Projects
· Comprehensive Concrete Batching Plant Solutions
· 32+ Years of Engineering Heritage
Project Overview
In December 2025, a customized HZS50G dry mix concrete batching plant was successfully commissioned and delivered for a major regional infrastructure and road contractor in Bergen, Norway. Facing challenging logistical and terrain constraints along the mountainous Scandinavian coastline, the client required an agile, highly reliable, and winter-ready concrete solution. Operating at a steady 50 m³/h, this dry-type batching plant now provides a consistent concrete supply, keeping multiple tight project schedules on track despite extreme cold and complex transport logistics. This project underscores our capability to deliver a premier dry mix concrete batching plant that European contractors can rely on for both exceptional performance and strict regulatory compliance.

Decoding the Client’s Core Requirements
Before recommending the HZS50G, our technical team analyzed the specific operational and environmental bottlenecks in Norway’s high-latitude regions. The contractor defined three critical purchasing criteria:
Prevention of Transit Hardening
The job sites were located in mountainous areas and across deep fjords, resulting in transit times often exceeding 90 minutes. A standard wet plant was unviable, as the concrete would set and degrade before arriving at the pouring site.
Zero-Wastewater Environmental Compliance
Norway enforces some of the strictest environmental and water protection laws in the world. The plant had to operate with zero-emission metrics and completely eliminate the need for concrete washout and settlement basins.
Trouble-Free Winterization
Operating in sub-zero temperatures, the client required a simplified plant design with minimal moving parts to prevent water lines and mixing mechanisms from freezing and causing mechanical failures.
Environmental & Geographic Challenges in the Scandinavian Coast
Norway’s unique geography and Nordic climate imposed severe constraints that standard machinery cannot withstand:
- Freezing Temperatures and Machine Washout Risks: In December, ambient temperatures in Bergen regularly drop below freezing. For traditional wet plants, washing out the central mixer daily generates massive amounts of wastewater that quickly freeze, damaging valves and pipelines.
- Unpredictable Mountain Roads & Transit Delays: Navigating heavy mixers through steep, narrow, and icy fjord roads causes extreme transport delays. These erratic travel times demand a complete separation of dry batching from water addition until the truck reaches the project site.
Tailored Solutions Based on the HZS50G
To solve these multi-layered challenges, we engineered specific upgrades to customize the HZS50G for the rigorous Norwegian market:
Central-Mixer-Free Design
By eliminating the central mixing unit, the plant weighs and discharges aggregates and cement directly into the transit truck via an optimized discharge chute. This “No-Mixer” design completely removes the need for daily high-pressure washouts, saving thousands of gallons of water and eliminating wastewater treatment issues entirely.
Airtight Bolted Silos with Heating Platens
To prevent dry aggregates and cement from freezing and clumping in sub-zero temperatures, we installed electric heating plates (2-3 kW/m³) in the aggregate silos and insulated the water supply lines. This ensures the raw materials maintain a stable temperature of ≥5°C before batching.
German-Quality Automation with High-Precision Scales
To ensure the dry batch meets rigorous ready-mix strength specs, the system utilizes a Germany Brand PLC and high-precision load cells. The software features automatic difference compensation and advanced weight sensors, guaranteeing a strict ±1% dosing accuracy for cement, water, and fly ash (600kg).
Cross-Ocean Delivery and Erection Record
The HZS50G’s modular, pre-assembled design provided a massive logistical advantage. Every major component was packed securely into standard 40HQ shipping containers to minimize ocean freight costs from our factory directly to the Port of Bergen (one of Norway’s most efficient maritime terminals).
Upon arrival, because no deep foundations or heavy cranes were required, the setup progressed with incredible speed. Under the remote guidance of our technical support team, the local crew completed the mechanical erection, connected the pre-wired cables via plug-and-play fittings, and assembled the 100-ton bolted silos on the steel base frames in just 6 days. On December 18, 2025, the plant completed its final test run flawlessly and was handed over ahead of schedule.
listen to customer
“In Bergen’s sub-zero winters, transit delays often caused concrete to harden. This dry batch plant resolved those risks,” the Project Director noted. “We erected the modular plant on a flat, compacted gravel pad in just six days without heavy civil works. Because there is no central mixer to clean or maintain, our operating costs have dropped significantly, ensuring highly efficient operations.”
Project Value
Since its successful commissioning, the stationary HZS50G has operated seamlessly, transforming the client’s business model and ensuring consistent project execution. The operational and economic advantages of this highly integrated, foundation-free setup were realized immediately across three critical areas:
- Complete Power & Water Savings:
By eliminating the central mixing unit, the plant reduced its industrial power consumption by 40%. Furthermore, because no daily mixer washing is required, the client saved thousands of gallons of water and completely bypassed the need for expensive wastewater treatment facilities. - Zero Transit Spoilage:
By hauling dry materials and injecting water inside the truck drum only upon arrival at the site, the contractor achieved zero concrete spoilage, saving thousands of dollars in wasted batches previously caused by long-distance transit delays on icy roads. - Rapid ROI with Zero Civil Works:
By installing the plant on a simple compacted gravel pad without deep poured foundations, the contractor saved over 15% on site preparation costs. Combined with the automated system’s ability to reduce cement waste by 10%, the client is on track to achieve full capital recovery within the first year.
