Cifa has added to its Energya range of electric plant with the new E10 concrete mixer. Pairing it with the new Mercedes-Benz eArocs 400 electric truck, Cifa offers the possibility of zero-emissions concrete delivery.
Since the mixer and truck are powered independently from different batteries, the mixer could be combined with any type of truck, explains Cifa CEO Davide Cipolla: “It may be more practical for the mixer to be mounted on a diesel or gas truck, which would still mean it could be zero emissions on the job site.”
The use of apps for more productive screening operations and the dual use of diesel and electric power have helped boost quarry efficiencies, according to Kleeman, Major and Screenscore.
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
