	This is a narrow continuous belt running over a series of rollers that carries a constant stream of concrete. This allows for full coverage and has the advantage of being easily removed and repositioned for use on large areas. Belts can travel at up to 150 m/min which delivers between 50-100 m3 of concrete per hour (depending on the belt width).

		+	Mini concrete pumps are small-sized concrete pumps that are used to deliver concrete mixtures to smaller construction sites. These pumps are typically mounted on a truck or trailer, making them easy to transport and manoeuvre. They are designed to handle small volumes of concrete, making them ideal for residential projects, building foundations, retaining walls, and driveways.

	The quality and amount of concrete being used and the mixing and placing methods to be adopted will determine the type of mixing plant required. Small batches require only small tools whereas higher output requires mechanical mixers. The volume output of concrete mixers is approximately 30% less than the dry input volume due to the consolidation which occurs during the mixing process.
