DCG90-180 is avaliable with the latest generation of engines from both Volvo and Cummins. They both meet the requirments of Tier 4 emission standard. The DCG90-180 is eqipped with a variable hydraulic pumps as standard. The variable pump significantly lowers the strain on the hydraulic system and allows the forklift to fully perform when it´s needed. This feature has also proven to lower the fuel consumption of the machine but at the same time raise the performance. www.kalmarglobal.com/G CEI Enterprises has begun showing customers and prospects the first working model of its Fusion transit mixed plant, staged at its Albuquerque headquarters. The company dubs the model a "Hybrid Process Ready Mix Plant," leveraging precision aggregate-blend- ing technology for asphalt production, and combining it with established cement and water metering methods. The Fusion delivers aggregate blends yielding fin- ished concrete with fewer voids than conventional batching equipment, CEI engineers note. Void reduc- tion spells production of high-quality concrete using proportionately less cement than older methods, they add. The core of the Fusion plant is the aggregate blending unit: A series of in-line bins bearing multiple grades plus sand. Each bin releases to a dedicated feed conveyor fitted with its own belt scale, which provides precision sand, gravel and stone metering. Each feed conveyor discharges onto a collecting conveyor below. Aggregates are blended in layers and fed directly into the mixer. The demonstration plant features a three-bin blend- ing unit; CEI projects that it and four-bin model will be the most common configuration for ready mixed and portable concrete plants. Additional bins can be added to existing ones, allowing for considerable expansion of mix variety. — CEI Sales Department, 800/545-4034; www.ceienterprises.com BRIEFS MANUFACTURERS CEI demonstrates aggregate blend-optimizing plant technology CEI is demonstrating the Hybrid Process Ready Mix Plant, aka Fusion, at its New Mexico manufacturing facility.
