Q: What is the RexCon Mobile 5 CM best used for?

The Mobile 5 CM is best for portable concrete production, remote work, and frequent plant moves where a single-load mobile plant is more practical than a fixed plant.

Q: How is the RexCon Mobile 5 CM erected?

Astec describes the Mobile 5 with a telescoping fifth wheel and hinged columns that allow the plant to be erected with only a front-end loader.

Q: Is the Mobile 5 CM right for high-volume paving?

It is generally a compact portable option. For sustained high-volume paving, Closner would normally compare it against the RexCon Model S or RexCon Mobile 12 SE CM.

Q: What cement storage does the RexCon Mobile 5 use?

The Astec brochure lists 900 ft3, 225 BBL, 42.3 ton cement storage with a gravity-feed surge hopper that holds approximately two batches of cement.

Q: Can the Mobile 5 be upgraded to central mix?

Yes. Astec lists central mix as an available option for higher output and more consistent concrete. Closner can help compare the central-mix package against your target production rate and truck flow.

Q: Does Closner support RexCon Mobile 5 plants in Texas?

Yes. Closner Equipment sells and supports RexCon and Astec concrete plant equipment across Texas, including parts, service coordination, installation planning, and plant-option guidance.

Single-load mobile batch plant for remote sites, portable ready-mix, and frequent moves. Erects with a front-end loader and uses a 225 BBL gravity-feed cement surge hopper, low-profile aggregate bins, and factory pre-wired/pre-plumbed systems.

RexCon Mobile 5 Concrete Batch Plant Overview

The RexCon Mobile 5 is the compact portable concrete batch plant Closner recommends when mobility is the main constraint. Astec positions the Mobile 5 as a single-load mobile plant for portable projects requiring less than 100 cubic yards per hour, with future central-mix capability when the job calls for higher productivity.

The plant's transport package is the story: a telescoping fifth wheel, hinged columns, folding legs, and factory pre-wiring/pre-plumbing help crews move, erect, and return to production without the civil-work burden of a permanent plant. The 225 BBL cement storage section feeds a gravity surge hopper that is continuously replenished by two recirculating screw conveyors.

For Texas contractors working county roads, rural paving, utility projects, wind-farm pads, remote subdivisions, oilfield support work, and temporary ready-mix sites, the Mobile 5 gives you a practical way to put concrete production closer to the pour.

Plant Features

RexCon Mobile 5 CM Features That Matter on a Job Site

Gravity Feed Surge Hopper

The 225 BBL cement storage section feeds a gravity surge hopper that holds approximately two batches of cement. Two recirculating screw conveyors continuously replenish the surge section so batching stays consistent.

Low-Profile Aggregate Bins

T-style low-profile aggregate bins make the plant practical for ramp loading with a loader or in-line conveyor loading. The brochure lists a 16.5 yd3, 25 ton, three-compartment aggregate bin with linked clamshell gates.

Single-Trailer Transport

The Mobile 5 moves as one trailer with a telescoping fifth wheel hitch, air-brake axles, hinged columns, and folding legs. Crews can erect the plant with a front-end loader instead of bringing in heavy crane support.

Central Mix Ready

Add central mix for higher output and more consistent concrete when the job demands it. The same portable foundation lets a contractor start compact and scale production without changing plant families.

Key Features

Single-trailer transport with telescoping fifth-wheel hitch and axles with air brakes.

Hinged columns and telescoping transport arrangement allow erection with a front-end loader.

225 BBL silo with gravity-fed cement surge storage hopper that holds approximately two cement batches.

Two 6 in, 7.5 hp recirculating screw conveyors replenish the surge section.

Low-profile T-style aggregate bins support ramp loading or in-line conveyor loading.

5 yd3 aggregate and cement batchers use load cells and isolators for accurate material measurement.

Factory pre-wired and pre-plumbed cement section shortens field installation.

Central-mix option supports higher output and more consistent concrete as production needs grow.

When This Plant Is the Right Fit

You move from job to job and need a plant that can follow the work.

You need central-mix quality without committing to a large stationary build.

Your typical production requirement is under 100 yd/hr, with the ability to scale into the 100-200 yd/hr band depending on configuration.

Your site has limited setup equipment and favors loader erection over crane-heavy installation.

You want a compact plant that can be loaded by ramp, fed by conveyor, and configured with dust collection, controls, a control office, or central mix as the project demands.

Why Source This Plant from Closner?

Closner can help compare Mobile 5, Mobile 12 SE, Model S, and CON-E-CO LO-PRO options against your site access, haul distance, production target, and permitting path.

Our Texas branches support concrete producers with parts, service coordination, install planning, controls conversations, and trade-in or used-equipment options.

Closner can quote plant ancillaries such as dust collection, water systems, control office containers, aggregate handling, loaders, and truck-flow planning.

Sales and service support is local to Texas, with teams in Schertz, Elgin, Rhome, and Waller.

Texas Application

In Texas, the Mobile 5 fits contractors who chase work across long distances: county road packages, remote subdivision work, wind-energy foundations, oilfield pads, and DOT support work where a fixed plant is too far from the pour.
