Saudi UHPC Facade Manufacturing Plant Officially Launches, Equipped with CO-NELE CMP750 & CMP2000 Planetary Concrete Mixers
A large-scale UHPC curtain wall facade production factory in Saudi Arabia has officially entered full operation, after CO-NELE’s professional after-sales service team finished all on-site installation, calibration and commissioning work. The whole wet-mix UHPC production line adopts CO-NELE CMP750 medium-capacity and CMP2000 large-scale planetary concrete mixers as core mixing equipment, matched with complete auxiliary conveying systems including bucket elevators, pneumatic conveying devices and screw conveyors, forming a closed, automated UHPC batching & mixing production workflow tailored for architectural facade precast panels.

Strict UHPC Homogeneity Demand Drives Selection of CO-NELE CMP Planetary Mixers
Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) for building curtain wall facades features high fiber content, ultra-fine powder raw materials and strict requirements on mixing uniformity; uneven fiber dispersion or inconsistent raw material mixing will directly lead to defective surface, insufficient bending strength and unstable durability of finished UHPC facade panels.
Compared with traditional twin-shaft mixers, CO-NELE CMP series planetary concrete mixers adopt dual movement of revolution and rotation, eliminating dead mixing zones inside the mixing drum, realizing full-range shear and diffusion mixing for high-viscosity wet UHPC slurry. The matched CMP750 and CMP2000 dual-mixer layout realizes flexible batch switching between small-batch trial production and mass continuous production, perfectly fitting the diversified customized production demand of Saudi UHPC decorative facade panels.

The client’s production manager gave specific and professional comments on the mixing performance: “UHPC facade production has zero tolerance for mixing defects. Traditional mixing equipment often causes steel fiber agglomeration, powder segregation and inconsistent slurry fluidity, which leads to surface bubbles, color difference and unqualified structural strength of curtain wall panels. After months of trial operation, CO-NELE CMP750 and CMP2000 planetary mixers have completely solved these pain points. The 360° full-range mixing without dead zones makes steel fibers evenly dispersed in the slurry, no winding or agglomeration. Even with ultra-fine silica fume and low water-binder ratio formulas, every batch of wet-mix UHPC maintains highly consistent uniformity, which greatly improves the yield and finished product quality of our high-end facade components.”
Complete Conveying Auxiliary System Build Automated Wet-Mix UHPC Production Line
To support continuous stable operation of CMP750 & CMP2000 planetary mixers, CO-NELE delivered a full set of raw material conveying supporting equipment for this Saudi project: bucket elevators for vertical transportation of aggregate and powder raw materials; pneumatic conveying system for sealed transportation of ultra-fine cement, silica fume and mineral admixtures, reducing dust pollution and raw material loss; screw conveyors for accurate quantitative feeding of various powder additives.
The whole conveying and mixing system adopts integrated intelligent control, realizing automatic weighing, feeding, mixing and discharging, greatly lowering manual intervention and improving production consistency of wet-mix UHPC, which adapts to long-hour continuous production under Saudi high-temperature outdoor environment.
The client’s engineering supervisor commented on the automated production system: “The matching bucket elevator, pneumatic conveying and screw conveying systems are perfectly coordinated with the CMP series mixers. The fully enclosed automatic feeding mode avoids material waste and dust pollution, and the precise quantitative feeding ensures stable raw material ratio for each mixing batch. In the high-temperature working environment in Saudi Arabia, the whole production line can run continuously for a long time without frequent failures, which greatly reduces our maintenance cost and improves production efficiency.”
Global After-Sales Service Wins High Recognition from Saudi Client
Prior to formal production, CO-NELE dispatched senior after-sales service engineers to the Saudi UHPC factory site for long-term on-site work, completing equipment assembly, pipeline connection, electrical debugging, mixing parameter testing, production line linkage operation and operator technical training one by one. Facing the complex on-site layout and local high-temperature construction conditions, the engineering team optimized the equipment installation scheme and adjusted UHPC mixing parameters targeting local raw material characteristics, ensuring the whole line reaches design production capacity smoothly.
The client project director spoke highly of CO-NELE’s after-sales service and equipment stability: “We have cooperated with many international construction machinery brands, and CO-NELE’s comprehensive service and equipment reliability are among the best. Their after-sales engineers are very professional and efficient. They not only completed installation and commissioning accurately in a short time, but also tailored UHPC mixing parameters according to our local raw material conditions, and provided systematic operation and maintenance training for our team. The CMP750 and CMP2000 mixers operate stably without abnormal noise, stuck machine or material residue problems. The low failure rate and long-term stable operation provide a solid guarantee for our large-scale standardized production of UHPC curtain walls.”
CO-NELE Deepens Layout in Middle East UHPC Precast Market Aligned with Saudi Vision 2030
This fully-operational Saudi UHPC facade factory marks another landmark overseas project of CO-NELE in the Middle East precast construction industry. As Saudi Arabia advances Vision 2030 and vigorously develops high-end precast building, UHPC facade panels are widely applied in commercial complexes, landmark buildings and public infrastructure for their lightweight, ultra-durable and artistic modeling advantages.
CO-NELE will continue to provide customized planetary mixing solutions for wet-mix UHPC, dry UHPC, refractory materials and powder metallurgy for Middle Eastern manufacturers, while improving localized overseas after-sales service network to deliver full lifecycle technical support for global UHPC precast enterprises.
