The use of controlled frequency vibration for concrete continues to grow, writes Paul Jaworski
Controlled frequency vibration (CFV) technology has been around since the mid-1990s for concrete pavement applications. The technology has seen a gradual increase in acceptance, particularly in certain applications.
For the 0- to 37mm (1.5”) slump pavement mix designs, many contractors were experiencing material separation due to speeds over 8,000vibrations/minute (VPM). With the wide variability of concrete
SBM Mineral Processing says that its JAWMAX 400 jaw crusher features one of the most advanced diesel-electric drive concepts on the market. A combination of fuel-efficient onboard diesel and performance-tuned generator powers the plant’s materials processing.
A wide array of crushing, screening and materials handling technologies have been introduced in recent months - Mike Woof writes The manufacturers of crushing and screening products have been developing an array of new systems to optimise production. The recent Hillhead show in the UK was the launch point for a number of these new products, although firms from all over the world have also been developing new designs. Productivity and wear life are two performance factors seeing major benefits from innovatio
