Plattard Granulats plant

The industrial division of Plattard, based in Villefranche sur Saône, produces 200,000 m³ of ready-mix concrete and 450,000 tonnes of manufactured concrete products every year. This production requires 350,000 m³ of aggregates.

In 2018, Sodramec designed, manufactured and installed the plant responsible for processing these aggregates.

Studies began in June 2018 and the facility was commissioned in January 2019.

A delicate design

  • Designing a complete plant in a small space, as the Plattard plants are located close to the city center of Villefranche sur Saône. The screening plant, the main element of the installation, covers a floor area of 400 m², including 8 storage hoppers of 150 m³, 2 screens of 13 tons and 1 screen of 17 tons, 2 vertical shaft crushers of 15 tons, 1 sand treatment of 27 tons, 4 vibrating dewaterers, 4 vibrating feeders.

  • Guaranteeing the stability of the structure against vibrations: a total of 14 vibrating machines on the same structure.

  • Ensuring adequate soundproofing: the plant is located close to residential areas.
