SPANOS GROUP ÒBets and WinsÓ!

Only recently and in a short distance of few kilometers from Thessaloniki, in the area of Gevgelja, a new modern 5 star casino/hotel opened its gates to the public; the ÒPrincessÓ is of international high standards and belongs to the multinational Princess Casinos which owns 31 casinos world wide. SPANOS GROUP has actively participated in the construction of the building project since the total of the placed concrete was produced by MOBISPA, the fully mobile concrete plant by SPANOS INDUSTRIES which has been established in the construction sector. Taking under consideration the high standards construction quality and the strict time schedule, the contractor Gemma Group, has selected the MOBISPA-1 through a number of similar plants. The super-mobile, technologically advanced and uniquely flexile solution of MOBISPA-1, accompanied by the full range of SPANOS GROUP integrated after sales services, has provided high production capacity, certified produced concrete and last but not least, minimized costs of installation, operation and maintenance to the contractor. Six super mobile MOBISPA plants operate today in F.Y.R.O.Macedonia, practically monopolizing the local market and proving their superiority against competition. MOBISPA-1 is the only mobile concrete batching plant worldwide with European

Homologation as a semitrailer. Flexible, safe, cost efficient in its transport and operation, MOBISPA-1 is the ideal high-quality solution especially for remote areas. The Mobile Concrete Batching Plant MOBISPA-1, is mounted upon one (1) semi-trailer which fully covers the traffic regulations regarding dimensions, lights, signs, breaks etc. and which is fully unified with the batching plant. Upon this, lie assembled and connected all the systems concerning storage, operation, weighing, transport and mixture, and everything else that renders the machine fully autonomous. The full coverage of the traffic regulations does not demand the issue of a special transportation license, and therefore, all that is demanded for the transportation from one job site to another is a common 2 axle tractor. MOBISPA-1, is both easy to transport, simple and fast to install; that permits the production of high standards concrete in a few hours from the arrival of the machine in the job site, without demanding special job site preparations, special foundations etc. The Mobile Concrete Batching Plant MOBISPA-1, has been primarily fully developed from SPANOS Industries S.A. and is patented based on ΟΒΙ 2006/0100625

certificate. While designing the plant, it was fully forethought that the stability and the essential security should fully cover the demands of DIN 15018 specification. The manufacturing quality is fully certified according to ISO 9001:2008. Every batching plant bears the CE sign, which states compliance with the 2006/42 CEE regulation concerning machinery safety. Furthermore, due to the fact that the road network is used for transportation purposes, the whole structure fully covers the European directives 27/97 EC , 98/12-ECE-R13, 97/28 ECE -R48, 996/64 EC ,2001/43 ECE-R30, R54, R64 , 89/297EC and therefore, it can move around in every country of the European Union. The plant is accompanied by detailed use and maintenance handbook, as well as a detailed spare parts catalogue in 9 languages. Elimination of down-time is secured by SPANOSÕs 24/7 after sales service support, while the company offers theoretical and practical (via simulator) training for the operators.

AMMANN ITALY S.P.A.

SIM S.p.A. fully integrated within the AMMANN Group The Swiss Ammann, a family businessthat was founded in 1869 and successful passed throughout the fifth generation, is todayÕs world leader in manufacturing asphalt installations and equipments. During its long lasting history, Ammann had specialized in providing the most comprehensive solutions supported by guaranty and reliability. The 3400 asphalt units, located all over the world, are the living proofs about the quality of AMMANN products. Società Italiana Macchine S.p.A (SIM), which is 20 years a member of the Ammann Group, from 01/01/2011 has been renamed to Ammann Italy S.p.A.

This strategic step integrates the fully commitment of the both companies, enhancing the Ammann GroupÕs diffusion to various market all over the world and strengthening the GroupÕs position. Speed service to the customers will be raised, as well as the quality of providing integrated solutions in the highly demanding road construction area. The full product range of AMMANN asphalt equipment/solutions is available in Greece, Cyprus and the wider area of Balkans exclusively by SPANOS ODYSSEAS A.B.E.T.E.

Maliakos-Kleidi SPANOS provides the asphalt mix for the Maliakos-Kleidi highway SPANOS GROUP is once more actively engaged in another major infrastructure project in Greece. This is the Maliakos - Kleidi motorway, part of the PATHE motorway, with a total length of 230km which is being constructed by the Maliakos-Kleidi Joint Venture (MKJV). The joint venture consists of some of the biggest construction groups in Greece and abroad such as AKTOR, J&P, ATHINA, AEGEK, HOCHTIEF and VINCI. SPANOS INDUSTRIES has concluded an agreement with J&P AVAX, part of the aforementioned JV, for the production of 120.000,00t of the asphalt mix. In the framework of this agreement, two EASY BATCH, super mobile asphalt plants by AMMAN ITALY, were installed in the area of Korinos and successfully accomplished the production in six months. This supermobile asphalt plant has been designed and developed by SIM-AMMANN taking into consideration all contemporary technologies and

specifications, in order to meet the highest levels of efficiency and quality requirements of the finished hot mix product. EASYBATCH Supermobile combines all features of a static ÒBatch TypeÓ plant and an exceptional flexi-mobility, which enables the start up within a couple of days. – Super mobile and super compact batch type complete unit with an hourly output up to 90 tons, all assembled in 2 semitrailers which dimensions are suitable to travel even on ordinary narrow roads. – The 2 semitrailers, whose width do not exceed 3m, contain all the necessary elements for producing asphalt, including bitumen and fuel storage tanks and oleothermic heater. They have all the components pre-assembled, including pipelines and electrical cables. – Mechanical jacks with supporting plates, already connected, allow an easy and fast plant positioning on site; no foundations and no cranes are required. – Only compacted ground up to 1,5 Kg/cm² is required and the site shovel loader is

sufficient to put the plant in proper operation position. – The plant is supplied fully assembled in factory before shipment and consequently the erection time is very short and easy to be performed. Thanks to the easy transportability and manoeuvrability the plant maintenance can be carried out directly in a workshop during the winter time, reducing time and service costs. The dosing of bitumen into the mixer is a crucial parameter for the quality of the final product and is drastically influenced by temperature fluctuations that affect the volume of the bitumen. In order to achieve the highest possible precision, SIM adopted the ultimate technological system in this field, which is the ROTAMASS bitumen dosing system. This system is based on the Coriolis principle, and measures the mass of the dosed asphalt thus making the Easy Batch Supermobile the only asphalt plant worldwide equipped with this system.

DynapacÕs new range of asphalt pavers Dynapac is launching a new range of tracked asphalt pavers with advanced features designed to appeal to owners, operators and service crews as well as to offer environmental benefits. Six new tracked asphalt pavers, with a working width from 2 mtr. to 14 mtr., have been introduced by Dynapac in January 2011. The two conventionally controlled pavers F2500C & F2500CS as well as the four plc-controlled pavers SD2500C/SD2500CS/ SD2550C/SD2550CS are designed to meet the needs of contractors, communities and rental companies around the world. They will replace DynapacÕs popular F121C/F141C/SD115C/ SD135C/F181C/F182CS machines. The most remarkable features are the slidable operator's platform on SD-series and the safe-impact-system as option for improved and safe docking of truck. All pavers have the option of larger and wider hoppers, wider conveyors and slimmer auger drives, which lead to a smooth material transport through the paver with less segregation and excellent paving results. Each of the new models is powered by a Cummins QSB 6.7 water-cooled turbo-diesel engine. The rated power is 110kW or 129kW at 2200 rpm for the F2500 C/F2500 CS; 129W or 149kW @ 2200 rpm for the SD2500 C and SD2500 CS, and finally 176 kW or 194 kW @ 2200 rpm for the SD2550 C/SD2550 CS. The new models – equipped with screed - have a total weight of 18.5t to 19.6t. The total number of

hydraulic couplings has been reduced significantly. This also reduces the risk of leaks. The new paver range has been designed to achieve high quality paving results through operational features such as an electronically controlled main drive. This keeps the preselected paving speed constant, allowing even an inexperienced paver operator to start and stop with minimized marks. One of the ways to achieve high quality paving is to optimize the ergonomics, ensuring that operators have continuous visibility of the operation and comfortable access to the controls. All machines feature full visibility over all working areas (hopper, auger and screed). In addition, the clear and newly designed control panel gives operators the information they need. A key feature from Dynapac is the decision to equip the engines with eco-mode, which produces less noise, especially to the operatorÕs platform. Noise is also kept down through the use of a hydraulically driven temperature-guided cooling fan, which only operates when necessary. By this separated cooler fan drive the fuel consumption will be minimized also. Efficiency enhancements have saved several kW in the operation of a typical model in the range, with consequent improvements in the running costs and noise.
