DECUM

Portable / Modular Concrete Batching Plant Portable high-capacity batching system engineered for rapid setup, integrated hydraulic self-erection, and single-truck mobility.

Overview

The DECUM 1 is a portable concrete batching plant designed for high-efficiency concrete production while maintaining fast deployment and transportability. Engineered for quick setup and relocation with a single truck, the DECUM combines high-capacity aggregate handling, integrated cement storage, automatic water metering, and a self-erecting hydraulic system into a compact modular solution.

Built around a dual-bin 12 yd³ aggregate batcher, dual 10″ cement transfer screws, a 58–60 ton cement silo, and a 30″ transfer conveyor, the DECUM is capable of producing consistent, high-quality concrete with reliable material handling and batching precision. The plant includes a central lubrication system, complete pneumatic package, and all equipment is factory-wired and tested prior to shipment.
