Hot slag solutions for MTG’s StarMet construction range

A new metallic retainer and pin design allows users to benefit from all MTG Systems’ StarMet hammerless features on hot slag applications. Users of MTG wear parts for such applications have until now had access to MTG’s KingMet range of ground engaging tools (GET).

A new metallic retainer and pin design allows users to benefit from all 7159 MTG Systems’ StarMet hammerless features on hot slag applications. Users of MTG wear parts for such applications have until now had access to MTG’s KingMet range of ground engaging tools (GET).

“The main advantage of the StarMet hot slag solution when compared to KingMet is that with StarMet you will only need to change the pin and the retainer due to wear, while with KingMet you would also have had to change the adapter,” says Joan Cesar, MTG’s product manager.

    An airport in Germany has seen the use of very innovative asphalt paving techniques, with the use of dual-layer, hot-to-hot working. The method was used to meet a very tight schedule for the runway rebuilding work, while also delivering the high quality required. Two InLine Pave trains from Vögele were used at Rostock-Laage Airport to lay a new surface and binder course. The operation was innovative as the process used both hot-to-hot, echelon paving as well as dual layer, hot-on-hot working. Using this

    August 21, 2015
    It may be early days for using drones – unmanned aerial systems (UAS) -- to map construction sites, but technology and legislation are moving in that direction. At the moment drones can fly within only a 500m radius of the ‘pilot’ standing on the ground, making the flight area a 1km diameter. This is the key limiting issue for any sector, especially road construction, says Jonathan Gill, a robotics engineer and a qualified drone pilot for the past seven years.
