FIORI ADDS CERTIFIABLE QA TO CONCRETE BATCHING VEHICLE
A pre-loaded menu board has been added to the Fiori DB 460SL CBV (Concrete Batching Vehicle).
The addition of this facility enables manufacture of a variety of certifiable mixes to a customer’s specification at any time, in any location. Fiori says this design enhancement provides construction works with fresh mixes without waste or delay.
According to Fiori, the mixer’s dosing computer performs progressive and final check of concrete quality. Reports are produced for monitoring by project managers, works management, contractors or any construction stakeholder. Reports are generated in either hard copy or may be sent to any recipient via mobile telephone.
Certification reports include a proportional indication of slump and if required, the humidity level can be input, allowing the batch mix to be automatically recalculated to ensure the water/cement ratio remains constant.
“The CBV’s system is simple to operate. It prompts the operator in simple steps to produce a specified mix in the volume required to the desired slump. There is also an onboard additives reservoir that can inject the required dose of admix as specified”, said Graham Murphy of Semco, Fiori’s Australian distributor.
“We know this technology works. It’s been proven on one of the world’s toughest construction zones. There are more 90 of these mixers deployed on building a 1600 km railway line in Brazil.
“At times, concrete from batching plants may not always be the best solution, particularly when remote or difficult access is involved – or batches are small and specialized. The Fiori 460 DB CBV is ideal for suppliers who need to store multiple concrete (and any other aggregate) recipes for making certifiable concrete using different components.
“The mixer’s ability to produce quality certification; its excellent off-road mobility and maneuverability that enables it to access its pouring position in all weather and elimination of the need for ancillary equipment such as cranes or pumps makes it an attractive proposition”, he said.
Fiori says its DB 460 CBV (Compact Batching Vehicle) is the world’s first and only four-wheel drive, self loading, self propelled concrete batching machine.
