Massenza redesigns its range of three PMB plants to deliver less clogging and faster production volumes

Massenza has redesigned all three models in its PMB plant range. Its engineers have changed the design of the mixing tanks to reduce the likelihood of material clogging; reconfigured the medium-sized machine to allow a fast expansion of production volumes; and added control rooms to the two larger models.

The three models in the Massenza PMB plant range are the Smart which can produce between five and 10 tonnes of polymer modified bitumen (PMB) an hour; the Klever which can produce between 10 and 20 tonnes and the SuperKlever which can produce between 25 and 30 tonnes.  

The Smart is an entry-level plant, while the Klever and SuperKlever benefit from more automation and production-reporting capabilities.

The Klever now has space for a second mill to be added so that, if customers find that demand for PMB is ramping up, they can almost double their capacity without having to invest in a whole new plant.

“We were finding that quite a few customers were buying the medium-sized plant and then, after a few years, they needed to produce more so had to buy a second plant. Now they just need to add the second mill,” according to Massenza.

For the Klever and SuperKlever PMB plants, Massenza has added control rooms containing the PLC and screen. Providing cool air in the summer and warm air in the winter, this update aims to make life more comfortable for the plant operators.

“We have already supplied two new-generation plants to Saudi Arabia, one to Romania, one to Albania and one to the UK,” said Massenza.

    Improved surface quality and improved machine design are key trends in the asphalt paving sector, Mike Woof reports There is a big difference in asphalt paving techniques in North America and Europe. In North America, the need to construct long stretches of highway quickly resulted in wide pavers offering high throughput capacity, with compaction equipment then being used to achieve the required density of the various courses. In Europe's highway construction projects, distances tend to be shorter and contr

Major advances have been seen in roadmarking systems now being offered on the market. More sophisticated machinery will increase productivity and quality when installing markings, while new systems will also last longer in use. In addition, smart technologies can detect wear and provide highway authorities with an accurate picture of network safety, at comp

    In the Middle East nation Qatar, a large-scale highway project is underway that will make significant improvements for vehicle capacity and cut journey times for drivers. The new route will also improve transport connections between Qatar’s ports and neighbouring Saudi Arabia. At the same time, the new highway will carry much of the heavy vehicle traffic travelling between the two countries.
