Debasis Bhattacharya –Head Sales, Marketing & Product Support Ajax Fiori Engineering (I) Pvt. Ltd speaks about the current status of the construction equipment market in India and about the company’s participation in Bauma Conexpo India 2016.

Optimistic market
Commenting on the current status of the construction equipment market in India, Bhattacharya said, “The construction equipment market in India in general has been showing healthy positive trends over the last year. The announcement and take-off of projects especially in road and irrigation sector is a big boost for the equipment manufacturer.” He further adds, “We are optimistic about the progress in the next few years.”

Ajax Fiori at Bauma
Ajax Fiori has always been a participant at the Bauma Conexpo India since its inception in 2011. The company had participated in every edition and also launched its products in the earlier edition of Bauma Conexpo India. Bhattacharya feels that Bauma is one platform where the customers will get to know the latest technology in the construction industry and also the OEMs can look for new business opportunities. 

Over the years, Ajax Fiori has also established itself in the Batching plant arena, offering its customers in various technologies and capacities yet compact in design, apart from the dominance in Self Loading Mobile Concrete Mixer. The Compact Reduced Bin Batching Plant with planetary mixer – capacity of 30 cubic metre per hour is the latest addition to its product portfolio.

The USP of Reduced Compact Batching Plant are that they are supplied standard with planetary mixers and customised PLC based control system. The company informs that these planetary mixers are manufactured in-house under strict quality control procedures, in technical collaboration with Eurostar, Italy. The planetary mixers have replaced the turbo mixers for most applications, owing to its capability of producing high quality concrete of different types.

The key benefits of planetary mixers over conventional turbo mixers are:
• The planetary mixer mixing tools rotate in a synchronised manner and are able to turn the material distributing all of the material uniformly in the pan without favouring the different nature of the materials creating a homogeneous mix; each revolution changes the flow pattern.
• The intensity of the mixing action, appropriate speeds combined with design of the mixing tools provide a complete homogenisation and an efficient flow pattern.
• The pan of the planetary mixer is completely empty thus allowing the material to cover the complete area in a minimum time.
• Planetary mixers have a single type of mixing tool with a geometry that together with a combination of movements distributes evenly the material.
