Carmix offers concrete pumping efficiency

Italian firm Metalgalante claimed that its latest Carmix TrailerPump 15 concrete pumps can deliver concrete higher and further than previous models. The new TrailerPump is compact in size, measuring just over 4m long by 1.5m wide and 1.5m high. This makes it easy to manoeuvre onsite and allows it to be used in applications where access may be limited. The unit has a powerful twin-cylinder piston pump with a hydraulic control, which is said to ensure a capacity of up to 15m3/hour at a pressure of 70 bars

The new Carmix trailer mounted concrete pump is said to be powerful, compact and versatile
Italian firm Metalgalante claimed that its latest 8074 Carmix TrailerPump 15 concrete pumps can deliver concrete higher and further than previous models.

The new TrailerPump is compact in size, measuring just over 4m long by 1.5m wide and 1.5m high. This makes it easy to manoeuvre onsite and allows it to be used in applications where access may be limited. The unit has a powerful twin-cylinder piston pump with a hydraulic control, which is said to ensure a capacity of up to 15m3/hour at a pressure of 70 bars. The 240litre hopper, effective agitator, 12V electro-vibrator and its EasySpritz system are said to combine to optimise pumping performance.

The pump can be controlled through a remote unit with four functions. The machine also has the firm’s novel Concrete-Mate weighing system, which is said to provide high accuracy for concrete preparation. It also benefits from the firm’s sophisticated Promix package, a digital device that optimises mix design due to a sensor installed in the barrel. The sensor transmits information on the slump, temperature, humidity and speed of rotation of the cement mixer to the cab, but also indicates when the mix is ready.

    Improved bitumen storage is claimed for the new SBM-15 tank from GlobeCore. The firm has upgraded its existing design of modified bitumen storage tank to increase capacity, efficiency and versatility. A key feature is the new structural design with its downwards cone-shaped bottom. This is said to solve the problem of heat loss in the lower part of the tank while a minimum 200mm of heat insulation ensures it is thermodynamically efficient. The new model is 500mm shorter, allowing a customer to transport

    The novel HD+ 90i PH hybrid tandem roller from Hamm first seen in prototype form is now being offered as a production model. This follows extensive testing of the hydraulic hybrid package in onsite conditions in various countries. The drive system for this 9tonne compactor combines a conventional diesel with a hydraulic accumulator package. The diesel engine provides most of the power for driving the machine, with the hydraulic accumulator then supplying peak power requirements. The system offers

    Hy-Ten's new positional couplers are said to speed up site construction times by using reverse cut threads to link together both reinforcement bars by turning the sleeve in one direction. Richard Webster, director at Hy-Ten, said: "We launched our standard range of friction welded couplers just 12 months ago and the concept has been enthusiastically accepted by both engineers and contractors. The new positional couplers extend the application of this concept into areas where reinforcement bars are immovabl
