Factory direct · Shipped to Mombasa · East Africa installation support
Kenya is investing heavily in infrastructure including the SGR railway, new highways, and building projects. HZS Global supplies HZS60 to HZS180 concrete batching plants to Kenyan contractors at factory-direct prices.
Our plants ship from China to Mombasa port in 25-30 days. We provide installation technicians and on-site training for your team.
60 m³/h
90 m³/h
120 m³/h
Three things are pulling concrete demand up in Kenya. The first is roads and rail: standard gauge railway extensions, the Nairobi expressway network and the dualling of trunk roads have kept ready-mix suppliers busy well outside Nairobi. The second is housing — the national affordable housing programme has put mid-rise residential blocks in most counties, and those projects need a steady 60-120 m³ per day rather than one very large pour. The third is commercial and industrial building around Nairobi, Mombasa and Kisumu.
In practice most Kenyan contractors do not need a 180 m³/h plant. They need a plant that is reliable at 60-120 m³/h, tolerates unstable grid power, and can be fed with locally produced aggregates.
| Project type | Recommended model | Output | Typical budget (FOB) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mid-rise housing, commercial buildings | HZS60 | 60 m³/h · ~480 m³/day | $45,000 – $75,000 |
| Roads, bridges, multi-site supply | HZS90 | 90 m³/h · ~720 m³/day | $65,000 – $95,000 |
| Large infrastructure, ready-mix business | HZS120 | 120 m³/h · ~960 m³/day | $85,000 – $130,000 |
| Dams, airports, high-volume concrete | HZS180 | 180 m³/h · ~1,440 m³/day | $140,000 – $200,000 |
Plants leave our factory in Zhengzhou by truck to Tianjin or Qingdao, then ship to Mombasa. An HZS60 or HZS90 normally loads into 2-3 × 40ft containers with the silos as breakbulk or flat-rack cargo. Transit time is 25-30 days port to port; allow a further 5-10 days for clearance and inland transport to your site.
Kenya requires a PVoC (Pre-Export Verification of Conformity) certificate for imported machinery, issued by KEBS through an authorised agent such as SGS or Bureau Veritas. We arrange the factory inspection and issue the certificate before the container leaves — without it the shipment will sit at Mombasa accruing demurrage.
| Cost item | Rate / amount |
|---|---|
| Import duty (HS 8474.31) | 10-25% of CIF |
| VAT | 16% of CIF + duty |
| IDF and RDL levies | About 3.5% |
| Port, clearing and inland transport | $2,000 – $5,000 |
| Total landed cost factor | 1.30 – 1.50× CIF |
Used plants attract an age-based valuation, so a second-hand unit can be assessed at a lower customs value — but expect a physical inspection at Mombasa. For used plants, always confirm the duty assessment before you commit to the purchase.
Foundation drawings are issued before the plant ships, so your civil contractor can pour the base while the containers are at sea. Our engineers then handle mechanical assembly, electrical wiring, weighing calibration and test batches. A typical HZS60 or HZS90 is producing concrete within 21-30 days of arrival.
Common wear parts — mixer blades, liner plates, load cells, conveyor belts, pneumatic valves — are held in stock for air freight or express sea freight, so a breakdown does not mean a three-month wait for a spare.
FOB China prices start at roughly $45,000-$75,000 for an HZS60 and $65,000-$95,000 for an HZS90. An HZS120 runs about $85,000-$130,000. Landed cost in Kenya is typically 1.30-1.50x CIF once you add 10-25% import duty, 16% VAT and port charges at Mombasa.
An HZS60 or HZS90 ships in 2-3 x 40ft containers and takes 25-30 days from Tianjin or Qingdao to Mombasa. Larger plants and projects routed through Lamu take slightly longer. We book the vessel and handle the loading documentation.
Yes. Kenya requires a Pre-Export Verification of Conformity (PVoC) certificate for imported machinery, issued by KEBS through an authorised agent such as SGS or Bureau Veritas. We arrange the inspection at our factory before shipment. Without a valid PVoC certificate the container will be held at Mombasa.
For mid-rise housing and commercial buildings an HZS60 at 60 m3/h (roughly 480 m3 per day) is usually the right size. For road and bridge work, or where you supply several sites, the HZS90 at 90 m3/h is the more common choice.
Yes. Our engineers travel to site for mechanical and electrical installation, weighing system calibration and operator training. Foundation drawings are issued before shipment so your local contractor can complete the civil works while the plant is at sea.
A complete HZS60 or HZS90 installation including commissioning takes about 21-30 days, of which 7-10 days is foundation work and curing. Commissioning includes test batches and operator training.
