Tech/Engineering - Manufacturing / concrete manufacturing
Spanish term or phrase: Torre de dosificación y mezclado
This come from a Spanish company's check-list for machine operators. The company specializes in concrete manufacturing. The client wants this into UK English. Under objectives in this section the text reads:

Definir cuales son las funciones y responsabilidades del controlador y de los auxiliares que manejan la torre de dosificación y mezclado.

I have seen this machine before and I found a picture on line, this is not from the client, it's a company that makes this type of machine:

http://www.maincer.es/71119_es/Torres-de-almacenamiento-de-p...

They have a webpage in English but it's not very good.

I have done other translations for this company and have used dosing hopper for tolva de dosificación. Looking at the picture this appears to be included in the machine. I'm just not sure what to call it in English, a dosing and mixing tower? Has anyone come accross this type of machine before and knows of a reliable equivalent in an English text?

Thanks so much for your help.

There seems to be a popular feeling to include the word plant so if you like you could say

'Tower-type concrete batching and mixing plants'

agree  Robert West: Would "plant" rather than "tower" apply in her case?

  -> Well, plant covers tower but it does say torre and there are towers so I'd go with tower. Thanks Robert.

agree  GGruia
5 hrs
  -> Thanks GG.

agree  Altogringo: but second Robert's question (and noting your reply). Your answer get 4 Google hits, including this ProZ link, and 9 with towers. With plants, nearly 24,000. "Concrete batching plants" alone gets close to 800,000. Something to consider.
8 hrs
  -> It's a point but then I'd say 'tower type concrete batching and mixing plants' Thanks AG.
