Schwing Stetter meets the demand in infrastructure development wherever concrete is involved. The company has a presence in concrete road construction, construction of dedicated freight corridors for railways, metro rail construction, RMC, high-rise construction, hydro power plant construction, dam construction for irrigation and in real-estate projects, besides, variety of power projects like thermal, nuclear, solar and gas based.

Concrete batching plants in concrete road construction
Customers have stood through generations for the company’s batching plants given their long standing heritage of quality, safety, energy efficiency and longevity. The company manufactures concrete batching plants for concrete road construction as well as supply GOMACO pavers and XCMG graders to pave and grade these roads. The concrete truck mixers and truck mounted concrete boom pumps play an important role in transporting and pouring concrete.

Analysing the requirement of customers, the company guides them to opt for the batching plant that would suffice needs of concreting from the wide range available. Schwing Stetter India manufactures four different types of batching plants such as wheel-trailer or truck mounted batching plants, compact batching plants, mobile batching plants and horizontal batching plants.

Wheel-trailer or truck mounted batching plants
The on-wheels concept has been introduced by Schwing Stetter India, keeping in mind, the ease in transportation of the batching plant between sites. This design is available in the 18 cu.m segment, which is also known as the ‘CP18 on Wheels’ which is a trailer or a truck-mounted batching plant.

Compact batching plants
The compact plants in 30 cu.m category are designed as such that the customer can move it from one place to another. So, for this purpose, the company has designed the compact plant CP 30 in a containerised format. Even a customer can ship it out of the country easily in a 40 ft. container. So, it reduces the tremendous cost on transportation. Besides, the customer can re-erect the plant in a quick fashion. The compact plants are design houses which includes the model CP30 (30 cu.m productivity rate) and CP45 (45 cu.m productivity rate). These plants are available in star, compartment and in-line silo configurations.

Mobile batching plants
Mobile plants are for those customers who would like to move the plant from a project site to another project site quickly. A lot of costs are involved in the construction of foundation and other infrastructure. Mobile plants keep such cost in the minimum and are ideally suited for road construction. The mobile plants are known for their easy assembly and erection at the site like the M1, M1.25, M2.25, M2.5, M3 RS, M21Z, M25Z and M30Z. Wherever, construction sites have to be supplied for any length of time with larger quantities of high-quality concrete, mobile mixing plants from Schwing Stetter India are ideal. It does not matter whether they are used for the construction of traffic routes, dams, landfills or airports, the M-series plants have been designed to handle the task. They can be quickly moved, transported on low-bed semitrailers and quickly set-up again, thanks to the fully installed, pre-assembled compact units.

Horizontal batching plants
Horizontal plants are for customers who would like to stay in a particular location for a long period of time like dam construction, for ready-mix. Stetter horizontal concrete mixing plants H1J, H2.5J, H2N, H3N, H4N, H5 and H6 incorporate the experience of over75 years in mixing plant technology.

Mixer technology
The objective of any concrete production is a homogenous mix of concrete, in the absence of which a series of problems will be faced by the end users of concrete. There are three mixer technologies which help achieve this homogeneity such as pan mixer, twin-shaft mixer and planetary mixer.

The turbo pan mixer used by Schwing Stetter India is famous for the mixing quality thanks to its gearbox driven arms while the twin-shaft mixer is preferred wherever vast quantities of concrete are to be produced. Planetary mixers are used in precast and in other suitable concreting applications. It is also important to understand that all these plants are operated using control systems which range from semi-automatic (MCI35) to fully automatic (MCI550). The state-of-the-art technology of the batching plants and their reliable quality has helped Schwing Stetter India earn its place as the leader in the ready mix concrete equipment industry.

Applications
From residential, roads, dams, bridges, canals to nuclear projects Schwing Stetter India equipment have widespread applications and are called the first and the best choice of the RMC industry. This equipment has played a vital role in the fabrication of precast barriers for metro rail and airport projects across the country. Schwing Stetter India batching plants also produce temperature controlled concrete for nuclear power plant applications.

Achievements
Schwing Stetter India has proved its mettle amongst all odds by making and holding records in the industry. On 24thNovember 2017, two numbers of Stetter concrete batching plant M2.5 worked non-stop to produce a total volume of 6750 cu.m of pavement quality concrete in a single working day to create a never surpassed ‘New World Record’ in the Eastern Peripheral Expressway project.

Schwing Stetter India also clinched the record in dam concrete production with 6020 cu.m of concrete at Subansri. The company also holds the ‘All India record for maximum pavement quality production’ in one day of 5050 cu.m of concrete at Dankaur in Yamuna Expressway project. The company created a benchmark recently at the Statue of Unity, when a 4354-cu.m concrete pour got completed – world’s tallest statue ever built in the history.

Also, two numbers of Stetter batching plant H3N (Skip version) are being used by Navayuga Engineering Ltd for the spillway channel construction of Polavaram Irrigation project and a concreting record production was done in 25 hrs. of continuous operation producing 4260 cu.m of concrete (98.4 cu.m per hr per plant) output between 10th- 11thJune, 2018 using M20 grade of concrete with AM6SHC2 Stetter transit mixer.

Schwing Stetter service department
The road construction opened up job sites in Central and North India. Therefore, Schwing Stetter immediately reorganised their service network in such a way, that all Stetter plants for road construction are within 200 kms of service points and for the road infrastructure, the company has increased its service network by 20 per cent and currently, has a team of 300 service engineers across the length and breadth of the country.
