PRIMARY IN TREATMENT Multi-crusher FR series would be capable of interesting surprises. Born to be used as a primary shredder in treatment plant of municipal solid waste and bulky waste, the multi-crushers FR, as many machines built by Forrec make versatility one of their strengths and prove to be ideal even in other industrial uses. For example as bale breaker with the simplest materials, such as polyethylene sheets, but also with those more difficult as the bales of raffia, loaded whole and tied. The FR, in fact, is able to break the tie and, once the bale is open, to process the material down to the size of 200-300 mm.

FR machines are used effectively also as a pre-breaker of plates of armoured glass with excellent results and considerable productivity. www.forrec.eu

GREASING PROTECTION

Earthmoving machinery is exposed on an everyday basis to considerate needs. An important rule is to keep up the machinery on a simple basis.

Furthermore screws, bearings and articulated joints are lubricated in a reliable and automatic way through the centralized greasing Beka-Max system with an even layer of grease that protects the machinery from outside agents.

Beka-Max is patented by oleodynamic TFS-Tecno Fluid Service from Battipaglia (Salerno). www.tfsoleodinamica.it EC 172

FUEL TO CONTROLS ES-Level is a magnetostrictive level probes of Emiliana Serbatoi (Campogalliano-Modena) based on the Wiedemann effect; this device performs a continuous and highly accurate reading of the level of liquid inside the tank.

The level transmitter consists of an electronic circuit with a 16-bit 16-MHz microprocessor flash technology, a stainless steel AISI 304 rod with a die cast aluminium head, closed-cell expanded PVC or stainless steel floats and a LCD alphanumeric display that can be installed at a relevant distance of up to 5 m. www.emilianaserbatoi.com

Among the various techniques possible, following several consultations between the Pilosio technical studio and the Cossi Consortium-LGV, the option chosen was to remove each span in its entire form, lowering it to the ground where it would be demolished and removed.

SEALING MACHINE

30 www.abcmagazine.eu

Cracks sealing is the appropriate system for maintaining pavements in good conditions and increase their service life. In fact, cracks in pavements allows water to penetrate into the inner road layers causing many failures as further cracking, potholes and eventually a major pavement breakdown, bringing to unnecessary and expensive repairs. To minimise pavement problems, cracks sealing with hot polymer/rubberised bitumen sealant is essential. Massenza designed during the last years a special machine - Sealmass M5 - particularly for melting sealing compound and apply it into cracks and joints. Thanks to its unique thermal oil heating system for both melting tank and hand lance, the sealant is kept hot and liquid until the very last application point, with many advantages: easier and good quality application, even with very high viscosity compounds; quicker heating with improved efficiency at the work site; more safety and protection for the operator. “We’re proud to consider the Sealmass

M5 as the ‘new generation’ sealing machine!”, Massenza said.

Main features: melting tank capacity approx. 500 lt., hot oil coils on top for melting, stirrer with paddles driven by hydraulic motor, jacketed chamber for hot oil heating of product with thermostat control; diesel silenced engine, 9.2 KW at 2,800 rpm; sealant pump delivery up to 3,000 l/h, driven by hydraulic motor, submersed into the product; flexible hose in stainless steel with hot oil heating system, double swinging joint with adjustable rotating supports; hot oil circulating pump, centrifugal type, driven by hydraulic motor; diesel oil burner 24 V dc, 50,000 Kcal/h capacity; single axle trailer, overrun brake, spherical connecting joint (other on request). www.massenza.it

EUROPEAN TRAFFIC SIGNS

efficient signage placement becomes even more necessary when taking into account the ageing population in Europe, in combination with the increasing cross-border traffic and the advancement of existing and new technologies.

As the needs of European road users change over time, road infrastructure needs to keep up, if not lead. In view of this, the ERF launches its Position Paper “Improved Signage for better Roads: An ERF Position Paper towards improving Traffic Signs in European Roads”.

This ERF Position Paper is addressed to a broad range of stakeholders and seeks to identify key actions that ERF and its members believe should be prioritised so that traffic signs can continue serving the needs of Europe’s road users. “Improved Signage for better Roads” Position Paper advocates, first of all, for authorities to avoid or tackle the over-proliferation of traffic signs and to ensure that those installed display a clear message. www.erf.be

Vertical signage is an essential element not only of a modern and wellmaintained road infrastructure, but also of a safe and functional road network. Road signs help regulate traffic, provide crucial visual guidance, and give drivers important preview especially during night-time conditions. Well maintained and
