The high performing CBT Series Concrete-Mixing Plants are said to be both productive and easy to install according to Ammann. A novel folding mechanism has been developed for the base unit of the CBT 60 SL and CBT 105-CB 105 TB models, which boosts versatility. This is said to minimise installation times as well as allowing quicker relocation from one site to another. The plants can be installed on a simple concrete slab or compacted soil.
Marini says that its innovative EvoDryer technology allows for a high percentage of RAP use in asphalt mixes while optimising quality. The system can help minimise emissions also, while ensuring high efficiency in asphalt batching operations. The new Marini EvoDryer offers high efficiency when introducing the RAP to the recycling ring, while also offering versatility.
Ammann has developed an efficient technology for introducing RAP into the asphalt mix with its innovative RAH100 recycling system. According to the firm, this is capable of producing mix containing up to 100% recycled materials. Ammann says that the quality of the mix is high, despite the use of RAP however. The key advance that allows the use of RAP in such a high percentage has been the development of a gentle heating process.
A key innovation from MTG is its sophisticated new ground engaging tool (GET) detection system. This uses sensors mounted on the carrier machine that can detect when a bucket tooth becomes detached from the bucket. The GET Detection system can alert the operator within three seconds should a ground engaging tool become detached.
