Intermat 2018

Lille-based Devarem has introduced its mobile hardcore recycling machine at INTERMAT 2015: this clever piece of kit turns building site waste into hardcore, which offers big environmental benefits to operators who now don’t have to transport the waste for recycling.

Kristina visits the EL & Site stand to look at their Mberg lights, finding out just how tough and durable they are – but being robust is not their only selling point: hopping onto a bicycle, she generates enough energy to power them too.

Finding the best free gift at this year’s INTERMAT is a real challenge – and from rugby balls to biscuits there is a lot to choose from: but in a jam-packed, hectic environment, the greatest giveaway of the day is something that should help you relax.

Terex Finlay’s new crusher is just the thing when it comes to material reduction and product sizing, designed to work with blasted quarry rock and construction or demolition debris. Its great features include: hydrostatic transmission, a bypass conveyor and a hopper with hydraulically folding sides.

Case have been making graders for 30 years and say its new C series are the best available. The key features are low operating cost, controllability and flexibility, patented technology from FPT Industrial – and the possibility of 15% reduction in fuel consumption.

Hitachi Construction Machinery Europe boss Moriaki Kadoya told INTERMAT 2015 that the manufacturer wants to be number one in Europe as it launched a new hybrid ZW220 wheeled loader and a stage IV compliant Zaxis 300LC excavator.

In response to customer demand, Ammann has developed a new QuickBatch 180 containerised mobile asphalt mixing plant that is easy to transport and quick to set up. It uses a simple “plug and play” electric system.

Kristina takes a look at the TamiSoft machine which offers granular measurement of aggregate chunks. The system triangulates Laser beams reflected off the aggregate into a camera, which records up to 1000 measurements per second.
