What are your most popular concrete equipment products, and what are their specifications and features?

One of our most popular concrete equipment products is the concrete truck mixer. In this product category, we have a 90% market share in India, and we also cater heavily to the export market. One of the models of Transit Mixers from SCHWING Stetter India is the AM 8 (C2), which has a nominal capacity of 8 cubic meters. This means that it can carry up to 8 cubic meters of concrete per trip. The total geometric volume of the mixer drum is 14170 liters, and the waterline volume is 8838 liters. The filling ratio is 56.5%, which indicates the percentage of the drum volume that is filled with concrete. The AM 8 (C2) has a diesel engine with a power output of 79 kilowatts, which provides sufficient torque and speed for the mixer. The drum speed can be adjusted from 0 to 12 revolutions per minute, depending on the mixing and discharge requirements. The AM 8 (C2) also has a water tank with a volume of either 500 or 650 liters, which can be used for cleaning the mixer drum and adding water to the concrete mix.

How do you offer customization options for your concrete equipment to meet specific customer needs?

We offer a variety of customization options for our concrete equipment to meet specific customer needs. For example, we can customize the size and capacity of the equipment, the type of engine, the control system, and the mounting configuration.

What quality control measures do you have in place to ensure the durability and reliability of your concrete equipment?

We have a rigorous quality control process in place to ensure that our concrete equipment meets the highest standards of durability and reliability. Our quality control process begins at the design stage, where we use state-of-the-art engineering software to simulate the performance of our equipment under real-world conditions. Once a design is finalized, it is thoroughly tested in our laboratory before being put into production.

Our production facilities are equipped with the latest manufacturing technologies and quality control procedures. We use only the highest quality materials and components in our equipment, and we perform rigorous inspections at every stage of the production process. All of our equipment is also tested and commissioned before it is shipped to the customer.

Are there any upcoming developments or innovations in your concrete equipment line that potential customers should be aware of?

Yes, we are constantly developing new products and features for our concrete equipment line. For example, we are currently developing a new line of electric concrete pumps that are more environmentally friendly and energy-efficient. Our TSR EV (Shotcrete machine) which is a completely electric product has already been launched to the market. We are also developing new telematics and remote monitoring systems that will allow customers to better manage their fleets and optimize their operations.

We are also working on new ways to integrate our concrete equipment with other construction technologies, such as 3D printing. We believe that these integrations will help our customers to improve their productivity, efficiency, and safety.
