Ammann Elba CFS: The Compact Concrete Filling Station Revolutionizing Small-Batch Delivery

The Ammann Elba CFS concrete plant is a game-changer in the world of small-scale concrete production.

Designed specifically as a concrete filling station, the Elba CFS caters to a growing need for precise, efficient, and user-friendly solutions for delivering small quantities of concrete. Whether the end user is a contractor, DIY builder, or small-scale operator, this plant sets a new benchmark for accessibility and performance.

Presence at Bauma Munich

The Ammann Elba CFS was also present at the Ammann booth at Bauma in Munich, the world’s leading trade fair for construction machinery, building material machines, mining machines, construction vehicles, and construction equipment. The plant drew significant attention for its forward-thinking design and its clear focus on practical, real-world applications. Its presence at such a prestigious industry event underscores its importance as a strategic innovation in the Ammann portfolio.

Purpose-Built for Small Deliveries

The Elba CFS was conceived with practicality in mind. Unlike traditional concrete plants designed for large-scale operations, the CFS is tailored for smaller loads—ideal for pickups, small trucks, and trailers. This compact and highly accessible format allows for fast, convenient, and economical supply of concrete for local jobs, maintenance work, or private construction projects.

User-friendly and customer-oriented

A standout feature of the CFS is its fully automated, self-service functionality. The plant can be operated largely autonomously on site, making use of a barcode or QR code scanner for initiation. For added flexibility, it also supports payment via credit or debit card—perfect for urban areas, rental yards, or retail locations. This innovative user interaction model simplifies access and minimizes staffing needs.

Proven Technology in a Compact Form

While the Elba CFS is compact, it is by no means a compromise. It draws on the same advanced technology, engineering, and components found in Ammann Elba’s larger concrete plant series. This ensures durability, reliability, and performance on par with the big players—just in a smaller, more agile package.

Direct Discharge Without Conveyor Belts

One of the most distinctive features of the CFS is its ability to discharge concrete directly onto the delivery vehicle—no conveyor belt required. This unique design not only simplifies the plant structure but also significantly reduces cleaning and maintenance efforts, a critical advantage in urban or frequently used settings.

Precision Through Separate Weighing Hoppers

To deliver consistently accurate concrete mixes, the Elba CFS is equipped with separate weighing hoppers. Unlike systems that weigh directly in the mixer—often leading to inconsistencies—this method ensures precise dosing of all ingredients before mixing. The result is superior quality control, enhanced batch consistency, and better long-term performance.

Customizable Layouts for Aggregate and Cement Storage

Flexibility is another hallmark of the Elba CFS. The plant is available in various layout options, allowing customization of aggregate and cement storage configurations based on site requirements, expected throughput, or customer demand. This modularity ensures that the plant can be tailored to different business models, from small hardware store locations to contractor depots.

A Unique Solution in the Market

In summary, the Ammann Elba CFS is a one-of-a-kind offering in today’s concrete plant market. It combines the convenience of automated operation with the quality assurance of high-end batching systems. With its compact footprint, direct discharge system, and operator-free design, the Elba CFS is redefining how small loads of concrete are produced and delivered—efficiently, cleanly, and accurately.
