What are your offerings at the Concrete Show 2019?
Our offerings at Concrete Show 2019 include the following:

SLCM ARGO 2500 (ACURA) model:
Self-Loading Concrete Mixers (SLCM) – ARGO Model is the Specialist driven by the technology and by the values, beliefs & hopes of millions of concreting workers’ households. Growing with the millennials, the Launch of ARGO 2500 Self Loading Concrete Mixer (SLCM) with an output of 2.5 cu.m/hr would offer completely a new-fangled dimension to the world of concreting incorporated with inimitable features that are technologically-advanced innovative solutions. Some of its features include sliding gates for the bucket ensuring zero spillage; swivel mechanism for better productivity and operator efficiency; effective drum mixing with best homogeneity; drum control solutions with effective hydraulic controls and ease of lever operations inside the operator’s cabin; admixture dosing unit (ADU) providing better workability and vehicle reversing camera system provides wider field of vision that helps in monitoring the loading bucket operations and ; IoT – fleet-tracking & monitoring system through telematics that also ascertains fuel efficiency.

Value-delivering Stationary Concrete Pump: ASP 7011
AJAX developed ASP 7011 – a larger capacity concrete pump to suit projects involving larger volume of concrete and pumping height. The ASP 7011 Stationary Concrete Pump with a pumping capacity of 70 cu.m/hr, is the best suited pump for bridges, high rise residential and commercial buildings, villas and row houses to name a few. The key deliverables to customers are that the pump’s output and size are designed in a way that they can be optimised with AJAX Batching plant for pumping concrete to greater heights at the construction site.

Planetary Mixer (APM 500/ 300) for Bespoke Batch-plant: CRB 20
The launch of Compact Reduced Bin Batching Plant, CRB 20 with APM 500/ 300 Planetary Mixer and an output of 20 cu.m/hr, offers low investment and high returns in terms of quality and performance. Indeed, AJAX introduced the product during 2015, which gives an output of 30 cu.m/hr and was well accepted and received by customers. The company sensed the potential and demand for smaller batching plants during its interactions with small/medium contractors who always had the hunch for smaller capacity product. AJAX was able to timely come up with the required product for the niche segment that is ideal for small/medium contractors. The key deliverables to customers in CRB 20 would be that it comes with a planetary mixer for optimum homogeneity, and concrete discharge is fed directly to the concrete pump.
