With increased cost of building construction, maintenance and lifecycle issues, the world is moving towards approach of new ways of construction. Conventional methods of construction which involves major production of concrete at site has now been replaced with precast technology where the requirement for setting up a site, preparing form-works for concrete pour and curing of structures are cut down to a major extent.

Ajax Fiori being a concrete solution provider always forecasted the needs and demands of its customer. With increasing demand in precast production, Ajax Fiori has geared up its products to feed the requirement. The products from Ajax Fiori’s stable has evolved over a period of time based on the inputs from customers to cater their concreting needs.

Precast concrete technology is widely used in government projects for infrastructural development (flyovers, metro, bridges). Private projects which includes residential and commercial constructions are also slowly moving towards precast technology as they are efficient, durable and economical and also cuts down the span of completion of projects. Ajax Fiori being associated with concreting industry for last 25 years has also been a part in this transformation and will continue to serve the Industry with its unique products for now and for the years to come.

Another critical factor the precast industry should consider is the mixing quality of the concrete. Over two decades, the company provides planetary mixers for precast application which is considered superior over conventional Turbo Mixer.

In planetary mixer, the mixing flow is highly efficient due to integrated action of central stars combined with different peripheral scrapers, which is best suited for precast structures of concrete with aggregate sizes less than 40mm.

Inline Reduced Bin Batching Plant:
The Inline reduced Bin (IRB Series) batching plant of Ajax Fiori is designed for sites which requires continuous production of concrete and also where the loading of aggregates cannot be done from both the sides of the bins due to site constraints.
These batching plants comes with four to six bins for aggregates of different sizes as the continuous production of concrete calls for storage of more raw materials. The unique feature of this plant is that the aggregates are weighed in a conveyor rather than the skip unlike other plants, thereby reducing the cycle time and also water and cement batching is done in parallel to reduce cycle time and optimise productivity.

A Waiting Hopper is provided which will help in reducing the cycle time as the aggregates for the next subsequent cycle will be weighed and discharged to the Hopper while the aggregates are being mixed in the mixer, thereby providing with a constant supply of concrete to cast them in the mold.

Compact reduced bin batching plant:
The compact reduced bin batching plant (CRB) of 30 cu.m per hr. capacity is designed to fulfil the need of its customer in the RMC and infrastructure segments. In today’s competitive world, capital and operational cost plays a vital role in the success of the business.

• The CRB 30 eliminates the need of the belt conveyor for handling aggregates and there by reduces the capital cost by 3 per cent compared to other similar plants available in the market.
• Aggregate weighing system is independent of skip transfer system, thereby reducing the cycle time and increasing productivity.
• The entire plant can be transported in a single trailer, thereby reducing transportation cost compared to other plants.
• Plug-and-Play electrical system, thereby fast erection at site.
• Compact layout, hence minimal space required.
• Minimal concrete foundation required for erection.
