MS Africa & Middle East 2014

the new building and construction event in Egypt

eronafiere flies to Egypt with its start up event MS Africa & Middle East The International Trade Fair for Stone Design, Technology, Earthmoving and Building Machinery (www.msafrica.net), scheduled in Cairo from 11th to 14th December 2014, that joins the two well-known brands of Veronafiere in the building sector, Samoter and Marmomacc, with the aim to strengthen their internationalization. The new ‘Marmomacc & Samoter’ event, promoted together with Art Line, the leading Egyptian exhibitions organizer, and ExpoLink, the Egyptian Exporters Association, aims to combine the entire natural stone chain, from stone quarrying and processing to construction site machinery,

through to the finished product: excellence in the building field will find a qualified audience of buyers including architects, construction companies, distributors, rental, professionals in the quarrying world and earth moving equipment from many African and Middle Eastern countries. Egypt has launched a series of major infrastructural development projects and, thanks to free trade agreements signed with many countries, offers zero duty export opportunities. The country attracts foreign investments and Italy is its first European commercial partner. Big companies - such as Eni, Italcementi, Ansaldo, Tecnimont, Danieli - invested in 2013 in several projects in Egypt.

COMPACT POWERHOUSE

The BG 11 H extends the product range of Bauer rotary drilling rigs. With this machine Bauer has achieved an optimal combination of drilling performance data and easy transportation due to small transport dimensions and weights. Drilling depths of up to 40 m can be reached with this compact rotary drilling rig. For special applications in the oil drilling industry, drilling diameters of 3 m are possible. The retractable undercarriage provides a wide footprint. The BG 11 H is powered by a Tier 4 interim emissionscompliant Cat engine that is also operating very quietly due to its excellent sound insulation. The BG 11 H was introduced during Conexpo in Las Vegas, USA, in March 2014. www.bauer.de

LIGNITE ENERGY Lignite energy pulverized is a high-quality, low-sulphur industrial fuel in the form of dust made from raw lignite by drying and crushing. The very good combustion behaviour is explained by the very high share of volatile matter and the large inner surface. Operation is in closed systems, which achieves user convenience that is comparable with that of fuel-oil systems. A crucial advantage of LE pulverized - developed by RWE (exhibitor at Asphaltica 2014) - is the high price distance to conventional competing energies, like fuel oil and natural gas. “Today, many energy-intensive processes use over 3 million tons of LE pulverized every year,” the company says. “This is equivalent to more than 1.8 billion litres of fuel oil. Pulverized-fuel firing systems are marked by low space needs and high control rates. Costly measures to adhere to statu-

tory emission thresholds are not necessary. Retrofitting existing firing systems from fuel oil or gas to the fuel pulverized lignite is often by standardized components without expensive alterations to the firing system”. Besides its use in energy-intensive industrial processes, LE pulverized is also increasingly being deployed as a fuel to generate hot gas. Thanks to the much lower fuel costs, use of LE pulverized can be an interesting proposition upward of a furnace thermal rating of 2 MW already. LE is used in many process heat generation systems. The retrofitting of existing firing systems, usually involving a switch from fuel oil or gas to the fuel pulverized lignite, often simply means dismantling the installed burner and replacing it with a lignite-burner. Additional alterations to the drying plant are hardly ever necessary. Besides directly fired burners, it can be also used for indirectly fired systems. www.rwe.com 31

The roadway, which is suspended from the arch by suspension hangers, comprises two carriageways, each 14.5m wide, plus two hard shoulders measuring 1.35m and 1.70m wide, for a total of 17.55m in each direction of travel. The metal arch consists of a trapezoid body with a constant section, locked into the roadway at the shoulders via two triangular bases.

REVOLUTIONARY ROAD SENSOR At this year’s Intertraffic in Amsterdam Lufft had two main purposes: first official presentation of the new mobile road sensor Marwis and introduction of the invasive road sensor IRS31Pro-UMB. Both targets were reached, what is noticeable especially with regard to the attention towards the Marwis. It is planned to produce a limited Marwis lot from autumn 2014 on until end of 2014 and sell them exclusively to customers who will thus be early adopters. Almost all copies of this limited number have already been reserved by letters of intent, which means, that the Marwis is almost sold out for the first production lot.

Also most of the new interested persons asked directly for first –

mobile sensor which is able to measure 100 times per second. Brian Mulligan, the CEO of the software company Applied Information presented a program which can track the route and road conditions while measuring with the Marwis. “It is important to make the use of highly technical products as easy as possible,” stated Mulligan, who showed live measurements of roads in South Africa and the US directly at Intertraffic. It is planned to offer this optional software with the new sensor. But through the open UMB protocol clients can also simply connect their own (software) solutions. The compact and lightweight design will make the mounting of the Marwis to the vehicle very easy as well. A protective tube and the same durable material as used for ship propellers will protect the Marwis optimally against road dirt and salt. www.lufft.com

FOR INCREASING LOADING CAPACITY

FOR ALL SITUATIONS Klac Marguerite, a bucket for all situations. Manufactured by Klac Industrie it is equipped with 3 clay blades and 3 sand blades placed one behind another. The aim is to superpose these blades in order to increase the capacity of the tool while keeping the possibility to dig very narrow trenches, inaccessible to current buckets due to soil clogging problems. The principle of the superposition of the blades is patent pending. In solo or duo version, in sticky or sand soils, Klac Marguerite fulfills all its missions. A couple of minutes suffice to change from one version to another. www.klac-industrie.com
