Stephens Mfg. has evolved and grown to meet demand with advanced, efficient and profitable concrete batch plants. The company offers a complete line of portable and stationary models that have passed the test of time, delivering dependable performance year after year.
Stephens recently expanded its product line to include a “self-erecting” Clydesdale plant, which can have accumulating or decumulating aggregate scales with maximum storage of 100 tons. The Clydesdale features a 385-bbl cement silo; 14-cu.-yd. cement batcher; 30- or 36-in. transfer conveyor; 3-in. water meter; and, a 15-hp air compressor. Designed for quick and easy installation, there are two single-stage cylinders to erect the silo, and the plant has four hydraulic leveling jacks. Additionally, the plant is skid-frame based to reduce the need for concrete piers. Quick connect electrical connection is available on the auxiliary silo and conveyors.
The Empire and Stallion stationary plants are the manufacturer’s heavy duty plants. The DC-Colt decumulating aggregate batcher is considered by the company as its “bread and butter.” The super-fast Eagle portable plant can be customized and elevated to charge the Workhorse or other types of industry mixers. Stephens also manufactures a complete line of equipment to complement its plants, including truss and screw conveyors, radial stackers, fly ash silos, central dust collectors, and ready mix reclaimers. — Stephens Mfg.
