An array of advanced technologies are now coming to market for the concrete plant segment. Manufacturers are developing new systems that offer rewards in output quality and productivity, while also benefiting from sophisticated systems that allow gains in material logistics
New technology for concrete production will help boost efficiency
New advances in concrete plant technology will help boost materials quality for users. The latest machines are more versatile and more productive than previous generation equipment. Ease of transport and fast assembly/disassembly and commissioning are other important factors for the latest plants.
Research and development is an important issue for all manufacturers in the segment. With Liebherr for example having two new laboratory mixe
For more than six months, German contractor Jens Weiss has been using Sandvik’s new surface drilling rig Ranger DX800, with noted low fuel consumption per metre drilled.
The Ranger DX800 is a hydraulic, self-propelled, self-contained, crawler-type surface drilling rig. It is equipped with Sandvik-designed safety features to bring it into line with EU standard EN 16228. Typical applications are road cutting, pipeline drilling and foundation drilling, as well as production drilling in medium-size quarries.
