Cutting quickly

Wacker Neuson says that its new BFS floor saws combine high cutting power with good ergonomic design. The units are said to offer a 20% cutting productivity gain over competing products, as well as being more comfortable to use for extended periods due to the new design. The saws are designed to cut materials such as concrete or asphalt and offer a high torque delivery from engine to diamond edged cutting blade.

1651 Wacker Neuson says that its new BFS floor saws combine high cutting power with good ergonomic design. The units are said to offer a 20% cutting productivity gain over competing products, as well as being more comfortable to use for extended periods due to the new design. The saws are designed to cut materials such as concrete or asphalt and offer a high torque delivery from engine to diamond edged cutting blade. As the centre of gravity lies above the cutting shaft, working efficiency is further improved according to the firm. Features include individually adjustable handles, a 32litre water tank and a low operating weight.

  • Growing niche market for roller compacted concrete
    February 20, 2012
    A growing niche market for roller compacted concrete has prompted manufacturers to offer solutions. Mike Woof reports. Increased demand for roller compacted concrete (RCC) machines in certain applications mean that this is now a growing market, with manufacturers having developed new machines for this sector. RCC comprises uncrushed and/or crushed aggregate, hydraulic binders and may also contain concrete additives. It is mixed in a concrete mixing plant on or near the job site and one of its main benefits

    Advances in asphalt plant technology were in major evidence at the bauma 2016 exhibition in Munich - Mike Woof writes One of the most apparent developments at bauma 2016 was the strong focus on asphalt plant technology. The massive physical presence of the asphalt plants could be seen from a distance, right across the showground, particularly the 50m-high machine Benninghoven had opted to exhibit. However, other plant systems from rival firms Ammann, Lintec and Marini, as well as Turkish company E-MAK, c

    Italian firm FAE continues to develop its recycling technology, now offering two stabiliser packages for large and small operations. The smaller SSM and SSM/HP units operate with working depths down to 400mm. Meanwhile the larger SSH unit has a working width of 2.5m, suits towing machines with power outputs from 120-300kW, and can handle working depths down to 500mm. A key development is the firm’s innovative automatic injection system (AIS), which now offers a more efficient and effective mixing of wate
