High output and versatility are claimed for Liebherr’s latest Mobilmix concrete plant. The largest model in the range is equipped with a 4m³ twin-shaft mixer, delivering high production rates.

The plant features modular construction, which allows the user to suit plant configuration to the application and site dimensions. Because the components are modular, this also optimizes transport, reducing delivery times and assembly and commissioning. The modular design also ensures high parts availability.

Dr Volker Knickel, CEO of the Wirtgen Group said that the firm is working to deliver sustainable and efficient road construction technologies. Warm asphalt plays a key role in sustainable road construction and will grow in use in the next few years. Dr Knickel commented that sustainability will be of increasing importance for contractors, while in Germany there are also stricter regulations on reducing the exposure site personnel to VOCs.

CIFA is introducing three new concrete machines, as well as new models and solutions that simplify job site operations and boost safety. Electric power is a key feature for machines being made available from CIFA in the future, with variants for the Energya being made available that are electric.
