CON-E-CO LO-PRO Concrete Batch Plants Overview

The CON-E-CO LO-PRO Series is one of the benchmark low-profile concrete batch plant families for ready-mix producers. Astec emphasizes its unitized construction and built-in expansion capability: dust control systems, cement silos, and aggregate storage modules can be added with simple bolt-on erection.

The LO-PRO design is built around fast setup, precise batching, compact site fit, and lower installation overhead. Depending on configuration, LO-PRO plants can serve permanent ready-mix yards, portable production sites, and producers that need a plant capable of scaling from today's demand into tomorrow's volume.

For a Texas producer that expects demand to grow, the LO-PRO helps avoid buying a plant that caps the business too early. Its compact base is also useful where environmental controls, enclosure costs, or tight site geometry matter.

Key Features

Ultra-strong unitized construction with built-in expansion capability.

Dust control systems, unitized cement silos, and aggregate storage modules can be added with bolt-on erection.

Low-profile layout reduces crane and site-footprint burden compared with taller conventional plant designs.

Direct load-cell weighing, a 12 yd aggregate batcher, and a 12 yd cement batcher are available on LO-PRO 327 and 427 configurations.

Compact base size can simplify enclosing the plant.

Patented blending cement batcher and live-bottom aggregate batcher support controlled, consistent discharge.

Known as one of the fastest-charging ready-mix batch plants in the CON-E-CO lineup.

LO-PRO 327 vs. LO-PRO 427

The LO-PRO 327 and LO-PRO 427 share the same low-profile production philosophy, but the right choice depends on aggregate storage, cement storage, site layout, and future expansion plans. Final specifications vary by configuration, so Closner will confirm the exact plant package during quoting.

Feature	LO-PRO 327	LO-PRO 427
Aggregate capacity	45 to 160 tons	70 to 200+ tons
Cement storage	327 to 600 BBL	427 to 1,000+ BBL

When This Plant Is the Right Fit

You are growing and want a plant that can expand over time.

You need a compact base for environmental restrictions, enclosure, or property constraints.

You value fast truck charging and consistent material feed.

You want a plant that can serve as a long-term permanent installation instead of a short-term project plant.

You are comparing LO-PRO 327 and LO-PRO 427 configurations and want a Texas dealer to help size aggregate capacity, cement storage, water systems, controls, and optional silos correctly.

Why Source This Plant from Closner?

Authorized Astec and CON-E-CO support from a Texas dealer that sells, installs, commissions, and services concrete plants.

Factory-trained service technicians for troubleshooting, preventive maintenance, startup support, and production issues.

Genuine CON-E-CO and RexCon parts support to reduce downtime on batchers, gates, conveyors, scales, controls, and dust-collection systems.

Custom configuration help for fly ash silos, moisture probes, water systems, dust control, aggregate storage, truck flow, and site-specific permitting constraints.

Texas Application

The LO-PRO is a strong fit for Texas ready-mix producers building a permanent yard in a fast-growing market such as Austin, San Antonio, DFW, Houston, Waco, or the Hill Country, where today's volume may not be tomorrow's volume.

CON-E-CO LO-PRO Series FAQ

What makes the CON-E-CO LO-PRO expandable?

Astec notes that dust control systems, unitized cement silos, and aggregate storage modules can be added to the LO-PRO with simple bolt-on erection.

Is the LO-PRO only a stationary plant?

Astec lists the LO-PRO with mobile, mobile self-erect, and stationary mobility categories, so Closner will help configure the right version for your site and production plan.

Why does the LO-PRO work well for ready-mix?

Its live-bottom aggregate batcher, patented blending cement batcher, compact base, and fast-charging design make it a practical plant for ready-mix producers who need speed and future expansion.

What is the difference between the CON-E-CO LO-PRO 327 and LO-PRO 427?

Both are low-profile ready-mix plant configurations with 12 cubic yard batch sizing, but the LO-PRO 427 is typically selected when the producer needs more aggregate capacity, more cement storage, or a larger long-term expansion path.

Can Closner configure a LO-PRO plant with extra silos or moisture probes?

Yes. Closner can help specify fly ash silos, aggregate storage, moisture probes, water systems, dust control, controls, and other site-specific options for Texas ready-mix operations.
