INTERMAT
Paris launches
of open-pore asphalt, themodels are available with three exciter
systems are available for both models, providing the choice of
vibration or oscillation. Bomag’s Asphalt Manager system is a
feature as is the Economizer software formeasuring compaction
progress.
The company will also have a new generation of pneumatic
tyred rollers at Intermat, which covers the 4.5 to 11 tonne
classes.The newBW 11RH-5 features a hydrostatic drive, with
five front tyres and four rear oneswhichmeans there are no gaps
left in the area being compacted.
The hydrostatic drive offers three travel ranges: in first gear
the drive allowsmaximum gradeability; second gear canbe used
universally for different applications; third gearwithhigh speeds
of up to 25 km/h is suited to large area outputs.The system also
offers sensitive drive control and smooth reversing.
Ammann
plans to launch its latest compaction equipment at
Intermat, including its new APH 110-95 vibratory plate – the
most powerfulmodel it has ever built.
With anoperatingweight of 825kg, aworking speedof 37m/
min andworking widths of up to 950mm, this vibratory plate
can achieve surface coverage of 2,109m
2
per hour, equal to the
performance of a 7 tonne single drum roller, according to the
company.
The 10 tonne ARP 95-2 articulated tandem roller will also be
on show – a machine that was first launched at Bauma 2013 –
while Ammann will also showcase its new ASC series of single
drum rollers, featuringmachines from 3 to 35 tonnes.
The ARX 90 and ARX 110 articulated tandem rollers will
also be on the stand – again, first introduced in 2013 – while
examples from the lightweight ARX tandem roller range will
also be on show, together with trench rollers, the company’s
universal compaction ad-on attachment
tool for excavators, and pneumatic tyred
rollers.
In terms of mixing technology,
Ammannwillpresent itsnewQuickBatch
asphalt plant at the show, whichhas been
designed to be transported in containers
and be quick to set-up and take down,
without compromising performance.
All thedryerandfilterunitsaredesigned
as 40 ft (12.2 m) containers, and all the
mixing tower modules come in the form
of 20 ft (6.1 m)’ containers. Likewise,
all the extras and add-on components,
including the control roomhave standard container dimensions.
The unit is available in 140 or 180 tonnes/hour variants.
Similarly, the 60 to 80 tonne/hour EcoBatch asphalt plant is
a modular system with all components transportable in 20 ft
(6.1m) containers. It can be used for a variety of applications,
including cold or hot reclaimed asphalt feed, liquid or solid
additives and foamed bitumen.
Also new fromAmmann this year are theT1 andT3 versions
of itsUniBatch asphalt plants. Fitting in the range either side of
the T2, the range now covers the 100 to 350 tonnes per hour
production spectrum.
Again, a standardised andmodular approachmakes the plants
easy to transport, and they can handle a wide variety of mix
designs.
Concrete
Ammann’s concrete mixing equipment business,
Ammann Elba
will present anew single shaft (EMS) anddouble shaft (EMDW)
range of double spiral paddlemixers at the show. Together they
cover the batch size range of 0.5–4.5m
3
, and the company says
its mixer design offers high intensity, and therefore short batch
production times.
The division will also show the new EMPG 1500 planetary
counter-flowmixer at the show, which is
designed for unusual mixes such as face
concrete, core concrete and coloured
concrete, as well as concrete for hollow
ceilings, circulation systems, pre-stressed
concrete components, paving slabs,
staircases, and so on.
Again, Ammann Elba says high mix
intensity and short batch times are a key
feature.
New from
Cifa
at the showwill be the
UB504 truck-mounted concrete pump.
This small unit is designed for quick and
easy access to construction sites and will

applications such
as foundation
construction.
