MCT, Acico set up big concrete plant in Kuwait

Italy’s Marcantonini Concrete Technology (MCT), a major supplier of customised Containerized concrete batching plant in the Middle East region, said it has helped Kuwait-based Acico Construction to set up one of the largest precast concrete plants in the country, using innovative equipment and technology. Tasked with the challenge of fast-track delivery of precast systems by the main contractor working on a new residential area in Kuwait City, Acico decided to adopt a precast building system that allowed fast erection with consistently high quality elements.

To achieve its goal in a relatively short time, the company's parent firm Acico Industries Company undertook to set up what is described as possibly the most advanced precast production facility in the country, said the Italian firm in its statement. Acico Industries, one of the largest business groups in Kuwait, serves a wide range of industries with an annual operating income of more than KD100 million ($330 million). To set up the commercial concrete batching plant, it called upon the expertise of international precast consultant MCT, after detailed studies of its equipment, efficiency, reliability, after-sales service support and experience throughout the Middle East. MCT equipped the batching plant with a double mixer (2 cu m concrete production capacity each) with an associated automatic concrete distribution system that can supply concrete for the production of sandwich, battery mould and hollow-core precast. According to Italian group, the double mixer plant guarantees a peak concrete production of 100 cu m per hour. An automatic colour pigment dosing system enables the production of cast coloured concrete for the top layer, if re- quired. Rapid, reliable and fast delivery is carried out using the latest version of MCT flying buckets, which can achieve speeds of 240 m per minute, it stated. The plant produces all the necessary structural components for civil buildings, such as hollow-core slabs, main and boundary walls, sandwich panels and stairs. Additionally, the plant for Acico Construction provided an opportunity to test MCT’s newly released compumat, an in-house developed software that takes pre-cast production to a new level. “MCT’s new system for concrete production and casting process management continues to be enhanced in line with the requirements of quality control and assurance, which is being strictly controlled by authorities around the world,” said its chief executive Andrea Marcantonini. "Our goal is to offer customers the best experience in precast and concrete production with the technology we build. In order to achieve that, we keep innovating – everyday," he noted. The new software control system, together with the technologies developed by MCT, enables its customers to achieve the most efficient precast production, minimising errors and waste and reducing costs, he added. “Many new features have been incorporated in our software to considerably reduce manual work while guaranteeing the best results. We have added proactive support to prevent any possible fault and to monitor the status of the plant from our headquarters virtually in real-time. A plethora of data can be easily extracted from the software to feed any ERP, BI (enterprise resource planning/business in- telligence) suite or any other data-analysis system,” he stated. MCT is a major supplier of customised precast mixing plant and concrete distribution system across the Middle East, stated Falchetti Gabriele, the sales director for Middle East. "I believe that our fully customised plants are leading the precast industry in terms of achieving high production output and minimising the workforce," he added. In terms of business, Gabriele said: "Although the Middle East market has contracted mainly due to the drop in oil prices, thanks to MCT’s growing sales network, the company has been able to maintain a steady revenue for the area." According to him, the Italian firm will deliver precast plants to Egypt, the UAE and Saudi Arabia this year. "A key concrete batching plant parts of MCT’s customer approach is to provide added value to automation and software control," he said. The company’s main focus, he stated, was on continuous product development.

Armed men torch concrete batching plant equipment in Digos

Unidentified armed men stormed a concrete batching plant in Barangay Tres de Mayo here on Sunday and set afire several pieces of heavy equipment. Lt. Col. Ronnie Felix Babac, commander of the Army’s 73rd Infantry Battalion, said the perpetrators, armed with handguns, arrived at the batching plant of the Philmix Corp. around 7 p.m. and immediately seized the .38-service firearm of the security guard, identified as Nelson Lonangil.

Babac said the perpetrators immediately fled on foot after dousing one cement batching plant, a dump low price concrete mixer truck, two payloaders and a backhoe with gasoline and setting them on fire. He said soldiers pursued but failed to catch up with the perpetrators. The Digos City Police Office has started investigating the arson, which took place about two kilometers from the city proper.

Multi-storey parking hits concrete plant hurdle

Shopkeepers’ continuing protest and delay in setting up of a concrete batching plant for the construction of a multi-storey parking at the general bus stand, Jammu, by the executing agency have slowed down the work on the Rs 200-crore ambitious project to give the city its first modern parking space. Already behind the schedule by several months, officials said the delay in the setting up of the automation concrete batch plant and allied infrastructure at Sidhra was also pushing up the execution costs. The plant will provide concrete and will have separate testing facilities to ensure quality of material used for the project.

The project executed by the Jammu Development Authority (JDA) is a part of the urban development project aimed to end the congestion at the bus stand, one of the busiest spots in the temple city. “The land was provided for the plant several months back but the executing agency is yet make it operational. It will take some weeks before the site will start supplying material and necessary support,” said a senior JDA official. However, Superintendent Engineer Ashok Kapoor said the concrete mixing plant would be made functional by the end of this month. “There was some delay but big projects need a lot of planning. There was also issues with the shopkeepers but that will now be sorted out”, Kapoor said. Recently, shopkeepers had forcibly stopped the construction of a wall near the site as they alleged that it would hinder their trade. They are demanding the work should be put off till April, when the civil secretariat will shift to Srinagar. The bus stand was inaugurated in 1971 and most of the shopkeepers were allotted space then only. Under the plan, the JDA has decided to create a multi-storey parking lot which will also have shopping complex. Some of the traders will be shifted to inter-state bus terminal at Narwal.

New facilities may signal growth for industrial park

Board members hope to see dirt work begin in 2017 if the TIA ultimately approves construction plans. At that point, the business park would be left with around 60 acres for future development - which according to Gish, might be needed sooner rather than later. For starters, an existing business park tenant is considering an expansion through construction of a new building, which would be funded by the TIA. The industrial authority has more than $900,000 in the bank, and initially planned to use the money on the two warehouse-office facilities. Board members may now have to rethink their approach on how to divvy up the money. "Now that we've kicked off this project for the two spec buildings, we've been approached about this other expansion," Gish said. "So the question is, if that occurs, how much of our cash do we pay down on the spec buildings, and how much do we pay down on the other? And how much do you borrow for each project? We'll have to juggle capital." But Gish believes both plans can be carried out simultaneously. Meanwhile, a Los Angeles manufacturing facility with ties to a Tahlequah clothing business is also considering a spot at the city's business park. TIA Executive Director Laura Doss said the plan is contingent on the company's being awarded a school voucher program contract with the Cherokee Nation. Doss said if that occurs, the manufacturing operation, which employs 65, could be relocated to Tahlequah. Several retail stores could also open in other Cherokee Nation counties as a result of that move. Doss has also worked with Cherokee Nation Businesses to entice a commercial HVAC-equipment manufacturing facility to the former American Woodmark building. The company's investment could hit $5 million and create 350 jobs initially, with the potential for 600 jobs with adequate sales growth. The vast majority of positions would be hourly, with an average pay of around $11. The company is looking to be operational by mid-2018, but Doss said several other cities in Oklahoma are also bidding to get the HVAC manufacturing facility. And board members also plan to consider a land-lease deal with Jerry Halpain on a automation concrete batch plant for the industrial park. Trustee Steve Worth said he spoke to Halpain about his interest in property on the northeast corner of the park, near the intersection of Allen Road and Moccasin. Worth cited the existing terrain and said the corner is, at this point, an "eyesore." "He's got the equipment to take it down and work with it," Worth said. Worth suggested the industrial authority consider cutting Halpain a deal on his rent in exchange for cleaning up the property as the concrete plant is constructed. But he also said there are other issues to consider during discussions, including the effect of large trucks on the nearby roads. Board members are asking Halpain to propose a plan for the property and his ready mixed concrete batching plant.

Multiple car crashes prompt safety fears on A590

A lorry and two cars collided yesterday morning at rush hour on the A590 between Barrow and Ulverston at Swarthmoor, close to the Urswick turn-off.

The crash came just days after a similar crash between three vehicles occurred on the same stretch of road less than half-a-mile from the Cross-a-Moor crossroads.

Both collisions caused long tailbacks as motorists faced long delays.

Joyce Tam, 52, who lives in Bank Terrace, Lindal, on the A590 itself, thinks that drivers don't slow down for bends and motorists need to be more careful when commuting to and from work.

She said: "I've got a little fence outside of my house and it amazes me how fast some people go. There is a bend where the speed limit drops from 60mph to 40mph and a lot of cars are not keeping to the limit on that bend.

"There have been fatalities on that road before and I don't know personally what the solution is to make it safer but the road is a blackspot.

"You have got to watch your speed and make sure that you are slowing down when you reach bends because you never know what you are going to encounter. If you are going over the speed limit you are putting lives at risk."

Sarah Braithwaite, 35, also lives in Bank Terrace and alongside Mrs Tam, she is leading a campaign to against plans for a self loading batching plant close to the A590.

She said: "One of my main objections to the plant is that there are going to be 40 or 50 movements a day from lorries coming in and out of the junction of the A590.

"These will be carrying more than 44 tonnes of material and with the junction being on a hill, lorries will struggle to be able to turn onto the road quickly.

"The road is already dangerous enough but cars will not be able to slow down quickly enough. I see near-misses on the road every day and I cannot see how having slow lorries turning in and out of junctions will help matters."

South Lakeland district councillor, Andrew Butcher, also opposes plans for the concrete batching plant and called on leaders to get together to tackle problems on the A590.

He said: "It takes drivers from Swarthmoor ages to turn onto the road and it is not safe for children whatsoever. Plans for a concrete batch plant equipment will just create serious problems for everyone. If we have wagons coming down the road it will just create even more congestion and traffic which will not make the road any safer.

"If you don't have these hold-ups, people will be able to get to work much faster and drivers won't be in so much of a rush which is when accidents happen.

"I think we all need to get around the table and talk about ways to make the A590 safer for everyone. At the moment, the road is too narrow so it needs to be made wider and we just can't afford to make a bypass.

"People will always need to travel to work because you don't make pennies otherwise but we need a good road system to keep the economy ticking in Barrow."

Yesterday's crash involved a Mercedes lorry, a Ford Fiesta and a silver Mercedes car, all of which were damaged.

The Mercedes was being driven by a 23-year-old man from Barrow and the Fiesta was being driven by a man from Barrow.

None of the drivers suffered any major injuries following the collision.

The debris was removed from the road following the crash but a large amount of fluid, understood to be oil, created slippery conditions on the road.

A second crash also happened at 10pm last night at a roundabout where Park Road meets Mill Brow in Barrow.

The motorist, a 27-year-old man from Wigan, managed to walk away unhurt from the car, which had been severely damaged.

Liebherr breaks new ground with customers at Hillhead 2016

Liebherr stand busy for all three days at Hillhead 2016 Numerous enquires from existing and potential customers across cranes, concrete technology and earthmoving machinery Particularly strong interest in tracked excavators, recently-launched Mobilmix 2.5 concrete batching plant and new quick release hatch on concrete mixer truck for sale This year’s Hillhead show was extremely positive for Liebherr-Great Britain with the Liebherr stand busy on all three days. Numerous enquiries were received from existing and potential customers with some enquiries covering three sectors of Liebherrs construction product portfolio. Particularly strong interest was shown in the XPower, the tracked excavators, the recently-launched Mobilmix 2.5 concrete batching plant and the new quick release hatch on the truck mixers.

Inclement weather did not dampen interest in all that Liebherr had to offer at Hillhead 2016. The Liebherr stand was busy on all three days of this year’s Derbyshire-based international quarrying and recycling show with Liebherr products generating genuine interest from visitors. Numerous enquiries were received from both existing and potential customers and in some instances these enquiries covered three sectors of Liebherr’s product portfolio: cranes, concrete technology and earthmoving machinery. Colin Scott, wheel loader specialist, reported that: ‘There was a lot of interest shown in the XPower loaders especially with regards to the particularly good access for the operator and easy maintenance via clean, safe walkways. The extremely low fuel consumption of the XPower driveline from L550 to L586 was a real talking point and similarly, like the tracked excavators and dozers, no DPF or regeneration, only SCR technology required.’ Darren Bennet, tracked excavator product specialist, said: “There is strong interest from the market in the tracked excavators. Many commented on Liebherr’s simple approach to emission control with models including the R 922 crawler excavator requiring no DPF, regeneration or SCR and the larger excavators requiring just SCR and no additional technology.” Fintan Lowney, General Manager of concrete technology, added: “The introduction of the new quick release hatch on the truck mixers has been incredibly well received at Hillhead this year. There was also a great deal of interest in the recently-launched Mobilmix 2.5 concrete batch plant equipment .”

The Development History of new type concrete mixer

In the beginning appearance of new type concrete mixer, self-loading concrete mixer is the first generation. With the growing requirements for concrete materials, there has been forced concrete mixer. Forced concrete mixer can be divided into two types, vertical shaft concrete mixer and twin shaft concrete mixer. Domestic concrete mixer almost belongs to the two types. The self falling concrete mixer can be traced back to the early 20th century. Concrete mixer driven by steam has begun to appear in the early 20th century. In the next five decades, drum concrete mixer and shaft concrete mixer have come out and got development. Self falling concrete mixer working principle: its drum rotates in normal direction for mixing and in reversed direction for discharging. While the self-loading JS500 Concrete Mixer structure is simple, generally stir plastic concrete.

Twin shaft mixer developed new models gradually with the improvement of concrete construction technology. At abroad, twin shaft concrete mixer began to appear in the United States and Germany from the late 1940s. Due to the immaturity of shaft sealing technology, its development basically is standstill. Until the early seventies, with the result of technology breakthrough, twin shaft mixer developed in many countries.

City of Bayswater against proposed mobile concrete batching plant in Bassendean

City of Bayswater council does not support a proposed Bassendean mobile concrete batching plant set to straddle the boundaries of the localities. The application, before the Town of Bassendean, was referred to the City for comment as a 49sq m strip lies on Bayswater land. The proposed development is about 1km away from a similar proposed batching plant on Collier Road, an application the City of Bayswater has fought against for about five years.

After State Administrative Tribunal (SAT) mediation, which came about after the Town failed to review the application within the required timeframe, the applicant submitted an amended waste and dust management plan to address concerns raised by SAT. At a meeting on Tuesday night, Bayswater council moved without debate its opposition to the belt type concrete batching plant . Reasons included the Clune Street proposal not providing enough supporting information that demonstrated dust emissions would not unduly affect the area. The plans did not provide 20.1m of land dedication required for the Wicks Street road reserve extension and affected the outline development plan adopted at the former CSBP site. According to City officers, the design of crossovers to Clune Street would not comply and the development was “not consistent with the orderly and proper planning of the area”. Town of Bassendean received 11 objections to the proposed development and concerns included health impacts, dust emissions, noise and increased traffic volume. The Department of Environmental Regulation (DER) advised applicants Rowe Group they would need a works approval before it could assess environmental suitability. City officers suggested Bassendean include extra conditions including installing a wheel wash for concrete mixer trucks , regularly cleaning the street of dust and sand deposited, and undertaking routine dust monitoring.

Road Maintenance Firm Opens UK's Most Carbon-Efficient Continuous Asphalt Plant

Transport infrastructure company FM Conway has upped its commitment to reduce carbon emissions in London and embrace the circular economy business model with what it claims to be 'the UK's most carbon-efficient Continuous Asphalt Plant' in Heathrow. The 10m Heathrow Asphalt production and recycling plant has a production capacity of around 300 tonnes per hour, with the capability to use over 90% recycled materials. Asphalt - a key component of road construction - has high volumes of embedded carbon, but can in theory be infinitely recycled. FM Conway has strategically positioned the site at the opposite end of London to its other asphalt plant in Erith; to help reduce the number of miles materials have to travel to reach its projects.

The new Agregate Asphalt Plant was officially opened earlier this month by Transport for London director of asset management Dana Skelley, who said FM Conway is helping TfL to meet London's needs for well-maintained, low-carbon roads. "What we're seeing is FM Conway demonstrating that they are more than just a contractor - they are committed to the circular economy and to creating a better environment in London," Skelley told a crowd of over 200 industry leaders from the construction and transport sectors. "Heathrow Asphalt is helping London's economic growth, supporting 65 new local jobs; it ensures efficiency in delivery and therefore value for local authorities across London; and it demonstrates a commitment to lowering the carbon footprint of our roads through effective planning and recycling." Circular thinking Heathrow Asphalt is the second asphalt plant FM Conway has opened in three years, after the opening of its Erith facility in 2011. Both plants are among the most efficient in Europe and combined have the capacity to produce more than 700,000 tonnes of asphalt per year. The two plants increase FM Conway's supply capacity and allows the company to self-deliver materials to projects across London and the South East. Writing exclusively for edie this week, FM Conway's chief executive Michael Conway revealed that the company has invested 35m over the past five years developing its own recycling and RD60 Asphalt Mixing Plant, with environmental sustainability proving 'incredibly important' for its business partners. "All of our clients - both private and public sector - are more focused than ever before on the environmental impact of their own business and that of their supply chain," writes Conway. "Increasingly, we are seeing waste and resource management credentials as carefully scrutinised as costs."

Improving Asphalt Plant Efficiency

Conducting the audit The onsite auditor is just the program’s visual helm of a full support staff that consists of engineers, parts specialists and company management. Together there is more than a century of asphalt production experience behind the Plant Audit program. “It’s not the auditor’s job to know and do everything,” explains David Emerson, Terex Roadbuilding’s director of product management. “There’s a talented team here to support him.” A full day process, the onsite audit begins before the start of the day’s production and ends after the last load of hot mix has been delivered. The systematic process includes hundreds of component inspections from the conveyors and idle bearings to the drum mixer and cement storage silo . “I like to start at the cold-feed bins and work my way through the plant,” says Wilkins. At the bins, he checks for adequate storage capacity and inspects the liners, dividers, extensions, vibrators and air cannon. According to Wilkins, “One of the most common recommendations at the bins is for a liner replacement.” From there, the inspection covers the belts, belt wipers, idlers, and drives and continues through the aggregate and RAP screening and weighing systems. Moving forward, the auditor comes to the heart of the plant and one of the most critical inspection points, the drum mixer mixing system of asphalt mixing plant. External drum inspections include the tire mounts and drive trunnion, chains, sprockets, and assembly as well as the drum auger, shell thickness and slinger feeder. Additionally, the auditor inspects the inside of the drum to look for, among other items, flight problems and liner wear. Adjustments can be made to the burner and flights to correct this problem, which saves producers money every day the plant is running. According to Wilkins, “We have saved producers 5 to 10 percent in fuel costs alone with this analysis. With today’s high prices, this is significant.” Another hot spot for inefficiencies is the Asphalt Plant Baghouse. Auditors thoroughly comb through the bags to check for plugging and remaining service life. They also inspect airflow pressure along with the shell thickness, screw auger and hanger bearing performance. Emerson states that airflow problems are related to poor baghouse performance and achieving the right airflow can improve combustion efficiency by as much as 25 percent. Switching exhaust fan motors on the baghouse remains the biggest energy savings potential the auditors have uncovered to date. Most plants will have one or two 200 horsepower, constant-speed motors running at full tilt to power the fans. The installation of energy efficient, variable speed motors that run only as fast as and when necessary have generated significant savings for producers. At today’s energy prices, most operations can recover the cost of variable speed motor installation within a single season. The audit concludes with detailed inspections of the rest of the plant components, including the controls package. “Control software is continuously being updated to help increase plant operating efficiency,” says Ken Cosby, Terex Roadbuilding’s manager of computer controls. “This is one of the first items outdated on a plant.”

The payoff Upon returning to the factory, the auditor shares his findings with a team of specialists that includes plant engineers, technicians, parts personnel and managers. In roughly a two-week time frame, the team analyzes the findings to develop a series of recommendations, a parts needs list and upgrade cost estimates. “All recommendations are based on the premise optimizing of plant production and maximizing uptime,” says Emerson. The final recommendations are compiled into a 16-page report that is personally delivered to the customer. “This is probably the most important step in the audit program,” comments Wilkins. “Delivering the report in person allows us to answer any questions the customer may have and explain how we came to our conclusions.” To ensure that a producer is committed to improving plant efficiency, there is a minimal charge for the onsite inspection and final report. The report can be used to help generate or expand upon the customer’s daily, weekly, monthly and yearly inspection and maintenance programs. Once the report is delivered, the customer is not obligated to buy the asphalt mixing plant parts from Terex Roadbuilding. But for Wilkins, the new Plant Audit program is not about component or parts sales. “This program is a proactive drive to ensure the customer is aware of the latest technology on the market, so it can produce asphalt more efficiently.”

Asphalt Mixing Plant Heavy Oil Burner Application And Maintenance

Heavy oil is generally made cracking of heavy oil, heavy pressure, reduced crude oil or wax to blend in different proportions. In the selection, the general requirements should be high calorific value, good combustion performance, moderate viscosity, low corrosive and solid impurities, easy to store and transport. 1, the viscosity Viscosity said fuel flow performance is good or bad, the greater the viscosity, atomization worse, is the most important indicator of quality heavy oil and the use of performance indicators, directly affect the oil boom pump , fuel consumption efficiency and injectors. With increasing temperature, the viscosity of heavy oil is gradually reduced, thus the high-viscosity oil to smoothly transport and atomization must be heated up.

Therefore, in the selection of oil, in addition to conventional indicators to understand the oil, but also must understand the viscosity of the oil - temperature curve, ensuring that the heating can achieve the viscosity of heavy oil burner before atomization required. For mechanical atomizer burner nozzle before its optimal fuel viscosity is 2.5 ~ 3.5 ° Et, high-pressure air atomizing burner optimum fuel viscosity 4.5 ~ 5.8 ° Et. (Expressed in units of viscosity has a viscosity (° Et) and kinematic viscosity νt (mm2 / s, also known as centistokes cSt) two, the conversion relationship is: νt = 7.310 ° Et-6.31 / ° Et) 2, the amount of sulfur In heavy oil, the sulfur can be in various forms of elemental, compounds exist. After the burning of sulfur-generated SO2, SO3, etc. into the atmosphere will seriously pollute the environment, combined with water vapor to produce highly corrosive sulfurous acid, sulfuric acid, etc., for flue dust, fan life impact. In addition, the impact on oil sulphide pipes, valves, pumps, seals, and others have varying degrees of gun. Therefore, the choice of heavy oil, the sulfur content as low as possible, generally less than 3%. 3, mechanical impurities Mechanical impurities clogging the filter, spray gun, valve, accelerating pump, nozzle wear seriously affect the mechanical life, which generally requires mechanical impurity content is less than the fuel 0.5 to 1%. 4, the flash and fire Flash and fire are important indicators of fire and explosion safety of the fuel, the higher the temperature, the better. When choosing oil, we must know the flash and fire to determine the heating temperature. In the non-pressure storage tanks of heavy oil opening, the heating temperature should be below the flash point of 10 ~ 20 ℃, which can effectively prevent fire. 5, the heat (calorific value) Heat is an important economic indicator of fuel, and asphalt mixing plant is directly related to fuel consumption, the higher the heat, the better. Typically low heat oil is 38.5 ~ 44MJ/kg. 6, the water content Water is one of the main impurities in the fuel, which not only reduce the amount of combustible components of the fuel, and the fuel on fire difficult. Excessive moisture will increase the pipeline and equipment corrosion, increase heat losses and transportation energy consumption, while the moisture content will cause uneven flame pulsation even stall. Fuel should be used before the dehydration treatment, the moisture content should be controlled generally between 1% to 3%.

Production Taboos in Engineering ready mix concrete plants

For any equipment production, taboos exist. The production is not whatever the customers want. The production taboos may produce serious consequences, or may not produce any consequences. Anyway, it is dangerous if we meet taboos. This is big taboo especially for large equipment in machinery industry. For instance, irresponsible operation is not allowed for engineering ready mix concrete plants . The production of the entire engineering concrete mixing plant is composed of all operation of many devices. Serious results happen if you speed up production or overload production. In order to alarm us, we illustrate it as the following.

We give the example of broken screen result from speeding up production in engineering concrete mini batching plant . The usual reasons causing the broken screen are unqualified quality, screen tension strength, wrong direction of vibration motor, clay accumulation, etc. These all break the production taboos in engineering concrete mixing plant. As for the problems, we also give way out. If it is unqualified screen, closeness is needed between upper screen layer and lower stress layer. If the screen tense is not enough which leads to the vibration, we usually solve it at the edge of screen. Even though we have solutions, we had better not break the production taboos in the process of production.
