Doka rises to the top

March 13, 2017
Framework expert Doka has launched a hydraulic stripping corner for use in high rise construction applications such as the inside of elevator cores up to 90 storeys. Framax Xlife runs off a large hydraulic unit or a cordless drill unit and does that does not require a lot of labour. Customers are keen on this idea because, it says, “no-one has a hydraulic stripping corner right now”

    When the job is high up, then Schäffer’s new 5650 Z wheel loader with a bucket capacity of 0.8m3 and a working weight of 4.5tonne is up for the challenge. The 5650 Z has a powerful 37kW Kubota engine with four-valve technology and is the first such machine to feature electric drive control which permits significant increases in efficiency. Electronic support helps to optimise engine output and transform it into thrust, which results in reduced fuel consumption. The electronic control furthermore enabl

    Asphalt production is a complex process featuring many variables - Mike Varner, chief engineer at Astec Inc discussed methods with Mike Woof Asphalt production in a black art in more ways than one. It involves a complex process of mixing bitumen with aggregates under temperature and optimising this operation is crucial to maximise quality. But with so many variables, determining exactly what is going on inside an asphalt plant involves extensive research, sophisticated computer modelling and the use of a
