Overview
TURBOMATIC Heating Systems
The main functions of the TURBOMATIC thermal energy unit and TURBOMATIC hot gas generator in the concrete production process are: melting, pre-heating and heating of aggregates in receiving hoppers, storage silos and bins.
The TURBOMATIC thermal energy unit is also capable of producing all the hot water needed in the concrete manufacturing process (eg. supply of warm dosing water to scale etc.) as well as handling all mixing plant and associated concrete element factory process, heating and utility requirements, including:
- heating of concrete mixing plant production facilities and buildings
- production of warm wash water for truck mixers
- supply of warm water for filling of truck mixer water tank
- supply of warm water for process heating in concrete element factories eg. hollow core slab bed heating, pre-cast element mould heating etc.
- heating of concrete element factory production halls, buildings and other facilities
- heating of other concrete mixing plant associated facilities and buildings, eg. offices, production halls etc, and production of warm utility water
Each TURBOMATIC thermal energy unit (and hot gas generator) and its heating system is designed and built to meet the customer-specific conditions and thermal energy requirements. In the selection and design the following items have to be taken into consideration:
- The purpose of usage (TURBOMATIC model): generation of hot water and aggregate heating, continuous 24/7 heating of water and aggregates or heating of aggregates only
- Heating options: heating of aggregates (type, no. of silos etc.), production of warm dosing water and/or truck mixer wash/fill water, building/facility/production hall heating with blowers or with closed heating circuit, hollow core slab bed heating, pre-cast element mould heating etc.

- Structure/layout
Due to its operating principle the TURBOMATIC thermal energy unit is not a pressure vessel. This also means that the personnel responsible for its operation do not have to be selected in accordance with the requirements of any pressure vessel regulations.
