179 CEI Enterprises is now developing a full new line of concrete production plants. This takes the firm, part of 681 Astec Industries, into a new business segment and CEI is working on the engineering required as well as planning its manufacturing and marketing operations for these units. The range will include nine new designs of concrete plants and will include both traditional batch plants and innovative new plant technologies. Included in the new innovative technologies will be the conventional concrete, roller compacted concrete (RCC), and cement treated base (CTB) plant designs that had previously been produced by Astec INC. With this technology transfer, Astec INC is exiting the concrete production plant business to focus on a new renewable energy product line and all concrete plant prodution equipment is being moved over to CEI. The firm says that its new concrete plants will feature innovative, technology that will offer new solutions to contractors building heavy civil, airport and highway and projects, providing higher quality concrete at lower production costs.%$Linker: 2Asset<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?><dictionary />2126940oLinkExternalwww.CeiEnterprises.comCEI Enterprises webfalse/EasySiteWeb/GatewayLink.aspx?alId=12694falsefalse%>
Controls Group launched the Automax range of testing machines at bauma 2013. The Automax Classic is an automatic unit for testing compressive and flexure strength of construction materials; Automax E-Modulus additionally performs tests to determine the elastic modulus and Automax Multitest has an extra channel to allow more sophisticated tests.
The ContiTech Conveyor Belt Group claims it has taken a major step towards sustainable technology with the launch of the Conti lightweight, which can reduce the weight of fabric conveyor belts by up to 30%. “The lower weight significantly reduces the amount of drive energy needed,” explained Frank Kantorek, from the company’s business development section. “This means Conti lightweight technology makes a major contribution to the conservation of resources and protection of the environment,” he added.
JCB is now fitting its new Tier 4 JCB Ecomax diesel engine to its latest rough terrain forklift range. The engine delivers the same 55kW output as the previous Dieselmax motor, but meets the Tier 4 emissions regulations without the need for a diesel particulate filter or an SCR exhaust after-treatment system. This reduces running costs for customers and the Ecomax engine is being fitted to all four models in JCB’s RTFL range: the 926, 930, 940 and 950.
The new Terex Finlay I-100RS mobile impact crusher and the Terex Finlay J-1170 jaw crusher will be showcased at bauma as part of the Terex Materials Processing exhibit. Claimed by Terex Finlay to be a compact and aggressive tracked primary jaw crusher, the J-1170 is said to have a robust hydrostatically driven Terex jaw chamber which provides high capacity with large reduction ratios. The jaw chamber configuration can be set up specifically for either processing construction demolition debris or quarrying a
