With over 580,000 visitors from 200 countries and more than 3,400 exhibitors, Bauma was once again successful at bringing together international construction and engineering industry players in Munich. Concrete equipment manufacturing major Putzmeister has been an integral part of this iconic innovation journey through the years since 1965.

The company showcased its central launch of BSF 47-5 and PUMI 25-4 in hall B6, while the outdoor area presented the BSA 1409 D4 and 2110 HP D stationary concrete pumps together with the MX 32-4 placing boom. The BSA stationary pumps and the truck-mounted BSF concrete pumps are core products that offer unique concreting solutions for challenging building sites. The Putzmeister Underground Technology (PUC) area was home to the new Wetkret 3 shotcrete machine that enables shotcreting small tunnel sections with difficult access. Visitors were impressed with the new mortar technology products, mainly due to their environmental compatibility. These cutting edge products are yet be introduced in the Indian market. The BSF 47-5 is expected to be launched in the Indian market by 2017, the company said.

All Putzmeister BSA D4 models have efficient exhaust after-treatment systems that reduce soluble particles and diesel soot significantly by means of a diesel particle filter and simultaneously reduce nitrogen oxide considerably with the help of “selective catalytic reduction”.

According to Putzmeister, “By focusing on recent emission “Tier 4 Final” directives in the USA and Europe, engineers at Putzmeister provided competitive benefits to customers through lower fuel consumption and operating costs. The Indian counterpart to this initiative is the ground-breaking achievement of savings of up to 50 per cent oil among the BSA e-smart range’s Open Pumping System (OPS) pumps, that are solely manufactured for the Indian market.
