ARGO Self-Loading Concrete Mixers (SLCM), the Specialist driven by the technology and the values, beliefs & hopes of millions of concreting workers’ households.

The Launch of ARGO 4500 Self Loading Concrete Mixer (SLCM) with an output of 4.5 cu.m per batch offers completely a new-fangled dimension to the world of concreting, has inimitable features such as the following:

• Increased drum output effectuating more productivity, workability & throughput at real-time site operations.
• Electro-hydraulic operation system meeting the divergent goals of increasing machine productivity and product quality.
• Auto-cleansing system designed and developed with high-end technology providing the best cleaning services
• Non-directional tyre with puncture proof solution.
• Load-cell based weighing system for greater accuracy of the fine & coarse aggregates weighing.
• Fleet-tracking & monitoring system through telematics.

The key deliverables to Customers that being the legendary market leader in SLCMs, the prime focus of AJAX in launching this model is to nurture & care with a greater focus on delivering impact and creating value for customers.

 Bespoke Batch-plant:

The launch of Compact Reduced Bin batching plant, CRB 20 with an output of 20 cu.m/hr offers a low investment and high returns in terms of quality and performance.

Indeed, AJAX introduced the Compact Reduced Bin Plant, CRB 30 during 2015 which gives an output of 30cu.m/hr which was well accepted and received by our customer. AJAX sensed the potential and demand for a smaller batching plants during the interaction with the small/medium contractors who were always having the hunch for the smaller capacity product. In a timely manner, AJAX was able to come up with the need of the hour 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.

Value-delivering Concrete Pump:

AJAX developed ASP 3009, a smaller capacity concrete pump to suit projects which involves lesser volume of concrete and pumping height. The ASP 3009 Stationary Concrete Pump with a pumping capacity of 30 cu.m/hr is the best suited pump for Bridges, small /medium Residential and Commercial Buildings, Villas and Row houses to name a few. The key deliverables to customers in ASP 3009 are that the output and size of the pump is designed such that it can be optimised with AJAX Argo Self Loading Concrete Mixer for placing concrete at the site.

Boom Pump resonating ‘Made in India’ tag:

AJAX takes up pride in launching indigenously developed Boom Pump A25ZX with ‘Made in India’ tag in last EXCON Dec 2017 sufficing ‘Make in India’ initiative driven by Government of India. Subsequently, AJAX developed Boom Pump A30ZXand finds its deployment in various application & proficient enough in urban mega infrastructure projects commercial and office buildings, high rise segment, commercial retail spaces, bridges, airports and various projects under the Smart Cities’ initiative led by the Government of India. A30ZX that gets mounted onto a 4 x 2 truck chassis, is equipped with the state-of-the-art remote controlled articulating robotic arm, also known as boom, to place the concrete accurately at the construction site that reaches a height of 30 m and higher. Boom pumps are generally used in large construction projects because of its capability of pumping high volume of concrete in less time and saving substantial labour because of its multi-purpose robotic arm.

Application/ Site: Kachenahalli Lift Irrigation Project, Channarayapatna, Karnataka. More new AJAX products are in our pipeline and are slated for rollout in coming months.
