Introduction of aggregate bin
The automatic aggregate bin/aggregate hopper, when used in combination with mixers and metering devices, can form fully automatic or semi-automatic mixing plants, and is an ideal equipment for producing high-quality concrete.
The storage bin can automatically complete the quantitative distribution of at least two materials such as sand, gravel and cement. It features high batching accuracy, precise weighing, fast speed, and perfect control. It can also reduce the labor intensity of loading materials, and is easy to move and install, with flexible combination forms with mixers.
Aggregate bins for sale come in two-bin, three-bin, and four-bin models (customizable). They support feeding by belt conveyors or loaders and can be adapted to mix three or more types of sand and gravel materials, further ensuring the accuracy of the material mix ratio.
Why choose AGICO’s aggregate bin?
High-specification materials & precision processing
The key material and conveying components of the aggregate storage bin are all made of high-strength wear-resistant steel. It is formed through CNC cutting and precise welding processes.
The inner walls of the bin are smooth and do not stick to materials, and are resistant to impact deformation, thus avoiding proportioning errors caused by material residue from the source.
The core weighing system is equipped with imported high-precision sensors and is combined with self-developed intelligent control modules. After thousands of calibration and debugging processes, it ensures that the batching error is controlled at the top level in the industry, making the proportion of sand, gravel and cement in each batch exactly the same.
Modular process & adaptive design
The aggregate bins for sale adopts a modular assembly process. From the bins (such as the two/three/four bins models) to the feeding mechanisms, they can all be flexibly combined according to the scale of your production line. The installation and commissioning period is 30% shorter than the industry average.
The key connection parts of the equipment are treated with anti-loosening and anti-rust processes, combined with a sealed and dust-proof structure, which is suitable for the complex environments of various construction sites, significantly reducing the later maintenance costs and making the long-term stable operation of the equipment more durable and worry-free.

Structure of aggregate bin
The aggregate bin is mainly composed of storage bins, frames, aggregate weighing systems and belt conveyors. The number of storage hoppers varies depending on the model size and the type of aggregate required by the customer. Common ones include three hoppers and four hoppers. Under the storage hopper, there is a metering hopper for measuring sand and gravel aggregates.
There is a discharge port below the aggregate bin. The pneumatic butterfly valve controls the switch, and the aggregates fall from the silo to the weighing hopper for weighing. Then, the weighed aggregates are conveyed to the waiting silo of the concrete mixer by a belt conveyor. After the other materials are mixed, they enter the mixer to start mixing. The entire process can be globally controlled through the control system.
