The main contractor for the project was an
Obyashi/PSM Joint Venture. The sub-contractor
for concrete pumping was Quinn
Concrete Pumping. From the outset, Putzmeister
was involved in this project in an
advisory capacity. In the end, a wide range
of PM machines was used: the stationary
concrete pumps BSA 2107 HP-E and BSA
2109 H-E, the stationary booms MX 32/36 Z
and MX 36/40 Z, and the truck-mounted
concrete pumps M 42 and M 58.
Due to the heat and to avoid blockages,
pumping was carried out predominantly
at night.

Welcome to Bauma, welcome to
Putzmeister in hall B6.
The last two years have been marked by
dramatic changes in the global economy
and almost every company has been
affected by this. And in many meetings, we
have learnt from you, our customers, how
you are adjusting to this in your business.
We have based our trade fair appearance
on this: with new machines and plant solutions,
which can also open up opportunities
in the difficult market environment.
These include the M 49-5 truck-mounted
concrete pump on 4 axles, a new shotcrete
machine for small tunnel diameters and
the Telebelt TBS 130, which can be a new
business approach for service providers,
as a semi-trailer. Consistent further development
and staggered services aim to
optimise applications and reduce your operating
costs.
India is the partner country of this year‘s
Bauma. That‘s why this issue includes
a brief insight into the activities of our
Indian subsidiary, which has made a good
name for itself there in just a short time.
Our trade fair stand for 2010, as always, is
in hall B6. This should give you an outward
sign that we, the new company management,
stand for continuity in accordance
with our motto “Serve, Improve, Create
value”.
We look forward to your visit.

Truck-mounted concrete pumps – new
solutions in practice and the full range
At the trade fair stand, Putzmeister will
exhibit many models, from the smallest to
the biggest truck-mounted concrete pump.
The machines, with vertical boom reaches
of approximately 20 to 70 m are, as shown
in the following overview, very specifical-
ly tailored to the needs or requirements of
individual countries and applications.
With various models, Putzmeister shows
its wide range of innovative technology
such as Follow-me, EBC (Ergonic Boom
The large boom for India
Not exhibited at Bauma in Munich:
The BSS 46-5 truck-mounted
concrete pump exhibited for the
first time at the Indian Excon last
November.
This large boom trailer is specially
tailored to the specific requirements
of the Indian market. Above
all, the Indian conditions for approval
for road use had to be met. Since
4-axle vehicles are limited to a maximum
gross weight of 31 tons, 46 m
vertical reaches are not so feasible.
The answer is a 3-axle tractor unit with
3-axle trailer, which is significantly under
the permissible gross weight of 44 tons.

Control) or the patented TRDV variable
position support system. There is also
practice-oriented equipment and options,
such as the Sanima kit, radio remote control
with display, solutions for the extension
of end hoses, etc. n
Another important argument, in addition
to the enormous reach with the
flexible 5-arm boom, is the efficient
independent power unit. In addition,
it is possible to pump without a tractor
unit. This means the tractor unit is
free to be used for other tasks. n

Truck-mounted concrete pumps
M 49-5 – with 4 axles in the fast lane
The request for maximum reach on 4 axles
first came from the Chinese market. Putzmeister
exhibited its new M 49-5 truckmounted
concrete pump for the first time
at the last Bauma Shanghai. The innovation
was an immediate success there.
This was due to the right balance between
reaching the permissible gross weight for
the 4-axle chassis (HINO) established on
the market there and the minimum support
area with a flexible 5-arm boom. In
addition, the price for the M 49-5 should
be significantly lower than the M 52-5 with
the highly flexible, variable position TRDV
support. These advantages will be presented
by Putzmeister in Europe for the first
time at the Bauma fair.
The gross weight of this machine on 4
axles is approx. 40 tons. It is therefore of
interest wherever a large boom is required
on a low-priced chassis with a maximum
reach of 50 m. The RZ fold system offers
crucial advantages in certain application
situations in high-rise construction
(see box). n
Here, the 5-arm boom of the M 49-5 shows an enormous horizontal reach.
The additional 5th arm and its hinge increase flexibility, possible uses and
net reach of a truck-mounted concrete pump (top). Due to a lack of manoeuvrability,
a 4-arm boom is much more difficult to slip into buildings. It
may have to give up on attaining its net reach, depending on how great the
distance is.

Practical
training is
worth it
Putzmeister offers its customers a wide range
of possibilities for training and further
training. In theory courses, with learning
modules developed in-house by Putzmeister,
and in practical courses, users of Putzmeister
machines can learn the best way to
use their PM products. n
Please contact us at:
www.pm-akademie.de
Improper handling can be prevented
through competent training.
The range of Putzmeister collector‘s
models is certainly not as wide as
the range of actual 1:1 models. But
in terms of quality and attention to
detail, Putzmeister is uncompromising
here too. All available models are
“Made in Germany“ and come from
the famous model maker Conrad.
At this year‘s Bauma, you can purchase
these concrete pumps, PUMIs and
mortar machines in the Putzmeister
advertising gift shop at trade fair prices.
Moreover, they are available to
collectors via the Putzmeister web
shop the whole year through. n
You can find our shop at:
www.mycybershop.de/shopPM
With our qualified personnel, you can learn in practical situations, thereby avoiding
later operating errors. This increases safety for man and machine.

Fleet management system
Fleet management with the
i-DAISY international web application
With i-DAISY, Putzmeister offers simplified,
Internet-based scheduling of the
machine fleet with machine location,
especially for customers abroad.
The connection between the vehicles and
the concrete pump headquarters is established
via GPRS (General Packet Radio
Service). Access via the Internet means the
system is available internationally. To this
end, certain technical, personnel and linguistic
conditions are required on site.
With i-DAISY, the company‘s entire vehicle
fleet including truck mixers, silo trains,
etc. can be scheduled. Likewise, an economically
viable cooperation is possible for
operators with widespread sites and partners.
These are the experiences of the Reno
Pumbeton AG concrete pumping service in
Maienfeld, Switzerland, for example.
Reno Pumpbeton AG is a joint venture of
4 local concrete plants. They joined forces
in order to offer their customers a pumping
service. Each pump is stationed at
a different site and pump scheduling is
performed locally at the respective concrete
plants. Mr Tobler (technical manager)
reports that in the past this meant
that several calls were often required bet-

ween the plants and the customer in order
to reserve a site use. This system was very
time-consuming and inefficient for the
customer and for the schedulers. With the
introduction of i-DAISY at the end of 2007,
the situation improved instantly.
Complete overview for schedulers.
At any time.
Although scheduling is still decentralised,
each scheduler has a full overview of the
availability of the concrete pumps and the
status of the current orders. He can therefore
book a site use for a customer or, if the
desired pump type is not available, offer
alternatives immediately.
This clear plus point in service is rated
highly by the customers and the schedulers,
after initial scepticism, can no longer
imagine working without i-DAISY. In
the opinion of Reno Pumpbeton AG, experience
with i-DAISY has shown the following
advantages: Easy operation, minimum
training effort, low investment costs (PC
with Internet connection), improved customer
service and increased efficiency, optimal
planability and utilisation of the fleet.
A further advantage is that i-DAISY increases
transparency, resulting in a more
visible site status of the vehicle, time recor-

ding by clocking in and off in the vehicle,
GPS localisation of the vehicle and display
of the vehicle and site of use on the map.
In addition, fully automatic construction
site processing is possible with i-DAISY.
In other words, the construction site status,
the arrival and departure from the
construction site, as well as the start and
end of pumping operations are determined
and transmitted by the vehicle equipment,
BCL on-board computer, without intervention
by the driver.
i-DAISY can also be combined with the reduced
and more cost-effective functions of
the standalone module i-GOT-U. There, as
in i-DAISY, the current vehicle positions
and, retrospectively, the routes driven,
are displayed. In addition, the system can
send e-mails or text messages to defined
addressees, for example if a vehicle leaves
a geographically defined region or interventions
are made on the BCT on-board
computer. n

Important PUMI functions
significantly improved
The PUMI 31.89 S exhibited at the trade fair stand is also available in a version with
a vertical reach of nearly 28 m.
Seven years ago, we introduced the
Ergonic control for the PUMI. This tried
and tested technology allows us to realise
further application-oriented functions
easily. Some of these are new at BAUMA.
We spoke with Frank Riderer, the head
of the PUMI Business Sector, on this
subject.
PM: What are the innovations in the im-
proved PUMI?
FR: We have several interesting new options.
These include, for example, a radio
remote control with display.
PM: This will primarily help the machine
operator. Are there other new functions to
help the operator?
FR: Yes, with the software controlled Ergonic,
it is possible to realise even complex
processes, such as an automatic draining
function. This is difficult or impossible
to accomplish with purely hydraulic controls.
PM: What does “automatic draining function”
mean?
FR: With this patent-pending function, the
speed of the mixer is adapted to the delivery
rate of the pump. That is, with a low
delivery rate, the mixer also turns slowly.
Jerky start-up and braking of the mixer, as
was the case before, is therefore resolved.
PM: You are exhibiting a mixer cleaning
function. What‘s behind this?
FR: If this function is activated during
pumping, for example, the mixer drum
automatically rotates briefly to the right
and then to the left, without any intervention
by the operator. This causes the water
in the drum to slosh to and fro so that any
concrete stuck in the mixing spirals near
the outlet can be continuously rinsed and
washed away with very little water.
PM: What option do you consider to be particularly
interesting?
FR: The request by a Swiss customer,
who wants to add water to the mixer drum
metered via the radio remote control.
PM: What is the advantage of this?
FR: Often, after starting to pump, the
placement team complains that the concrete
is too stiff. The machine operator
must then go from the site of concrete
placement to the machine to add water to
the concrete and then mix it through again.
In future, this will be possible directly from
the radio remote control.
PM: Is it actually permissible to add water to
the concrete mixer?
FR: It is permissible to add water to the
concrete if it is scheduled, there is a metering
device and the added water volume is
noted on the delivery note. n

Concrete Project Division (CPD) project consultation
Solutions “off the shelf” do not meet all requirements. In special projects in particular, intelligent and economic individual
concepts are required.
Economical concrete conveying beyond
the reach of truck-mounted concrete pumps
Just like in sports, Putzmeister had to
work hard for the many, worldwide pump
records in its history in concrete high-rise
and long-distance placement.
Essentially, these records were achieved
by the right solutions to engineering
requests or, in other words, the successful
implementation of customer requirements.
This decade-long development of concrete
placement concepts is today the foundation
of machine technology and, above all, the
knowledge to which the Putzmeister engineers
from the Concrete Project Division
(CPD) refer in their engineering services.
The field of application here ranges from
high-rise, power plant, water, dam and
bridge construction to tunnelling, longdistance
concrete placement and excavation.
The CPD contacts will be at Bauma, in hall
6 or outside, ready to answer your questions
or discuss your individual Projects.
Wie present you the following machines
and aspects of stationary concrete placement
technology at Bauma:
• Concrete placement climbing system
RS 850 with the new boom MX 30(33)-3
• Stationary pumps from various service
classes in electric and diesel versions
• System parts from the Putzmeister
concrete delivery line, coupling and gate
valve systems, designed for concrete
pressures of 85 bar to over 200 bar.
The Putzmeister Concrete Project Division
(CPD) is your partner for:
• Demanding concrete delivery tasks
in construction engineering
• Consultation in the fields of concreting
logistics, concrete technology with the
focus on „pumpability of concretes“ and
concreting processes
25
The aim: Increased profitability through
timely planning of the correct machine
technology and the right concrete placement
processes. n
Special cases require individual
solutions: For example, the “Dubai
gate valve”, which was responsible for
enabling the record-breaking delivery
heights of over 600 metres during the
construction of the Burj Khalifa.

Telebelt
The tried and tested Putzmeister Telebelt will in future also be available in a new version as a semi-trailer.
This will turn the material transport specialist into an unbeatably versatile multi-talent.
From specialist to
attractive allrounder
The Putzmeister Telebelt (Telescopic
Belt Conveyor) is a versatile construction
machine for placing concrete and a
range of other materials up to a diameter
of 300 mm. The constant pulsation
and pressure-free material transport on
the belt allows for high placement (up to
450 m 3 /h) with low operating costs.
The world‘s biggest population of Telebelt
machines is in the USA. There, the Telebelt
is used by service providers as an addition
to the truck-mounted concrete pump and
places not only concrete, but also hardcore,
gravel, sand and other materials on
construction sites.
Outside the USA, the Telebelt has previously
been used predominantly in dam
construction. The reason for this is its
strength in delivering standard concretes
and non-pumpable concretes, such as coarse
concrete, earth-moist concrete or roller
compacted concrete. The Telebelt is also
excellently suited to special placement
tasks in gardening and landscaping. There,
materials like sand, earth and mulch
can be conveyed.
With the new semi-trailer version TBS 130,
it was possible to change the fields of use
world-wide quickly from specialist to allrounder.
The semi-trailer now enables operation
of a wide range of tractor units
as a Telebelt with just minimal adaptation
effort. The country-specific approval
for road use must be checked, however,
a special chassis is no longer required in
Europe. n
31
What does this mean for the operator
or investor?
• significantly lower investment
• almost every make can be used as the
tractor unit, even a used machine or
a machine from an existing fleet
• onward sale is subject to hardly
any restrictions in terms of approval
for road use and the exhaust gas
standard of the chassis. This makes
financing easier.
• lower fuel consumption through
the use of the independent power
unit belonging to the semi-trailer
• significantly lower wear costs
per m 3 than with truck-mounted
concrete pumps
The Telebelt is therefore worth it not
only for the high placement volumes
of large projects. This is reason
enough to see a familiar subject
in a new light.
30
More profitability for the
prefabricated parts industry
Autocor is the name Putzmeister gives
to systems for the prefabricated parts
industry, in which concrete pumps and
placement systems are used to place
the concrete particularly efficiently and
economically in the formworks.
When identifying a solution, for example,
the elimination of bottlenecks, the reduction
in maintenance times or less followup
work due to improved surface quality
all play a major role. And depending on
the annual capacity, end product, available
hall, investment framework, etc. customer-specific
answers have to be developed
using modular components. Previously,
such systems were predominantly used
for the production of prestressed concrete
towers for wind energy generation, noise
protection walls, prestressed concrete pipe,
manholes, bridge elements or 2-dimensional
structural concrete components.
To represent this pumping technology,
Putzmeister is exhibiting the rotor
pump Autocor BQ 06 at Bauma.
This is just as suitable for a stationary
installation as for mobile jobs, for which it
is transported from hall to hall to the formworks.
As another alternative, the machine
can be set up on a carrier frame and thereby
used flexibly in different production
halls (see photo).
The BQ 06 fills formwork with concrete
quickly and economically. At the same
time, there is little concrete residue and
cleaning is quick and easy. The Bauma
machine shows an attached crane, as special
equipment, with which the delivery
line can be easily guided. Other advantages
of the rotor system: Only one individual,
quick-change wear part and low
noise emissions.
For prefabricated parts plants, Putzmeister
offers not only machines and equipment,
but also competent advice for the operator,
so that the system can meet his individual
requirements. n

Bauma partner country India
“Our core competences remain
product, quality and service”
Extracts from an interview with Mr.
M. Schmid-Lindenmayer on the successful
Putzmeister presence on the India
subcontinent.
PM: For around 3 years, Putzmeister has
been present on the Indian market with its
own plant. What were the reasons for this?
SL: We have invested in our own team and
production here in India because we are
convinced of the big future for this market
and wanted to be able to meet demand for
marketable products quickly and more efficiently.
PM: Have you as OEM now got a different
strategy?
SL: Our strategy rests on two pillars. On
the one hand, we want to develop products
that the market really needs in a short time
and bring them onto the market. And on
the other hand, we are increasingly expanding
our service network. This is a critical
success factor in this business, which
Putzmeister is pursuing worldwide.
PM: How far have you come in this
short time?
SL: In our modern plant in Goa, with
an area of 100,000 m 2 , we now produce
13 machine types for the Indian market
with 250 employees. These are the stationary
pumps BSA 1404, 1407, the Moli 1404,
Moli 1407 in diesel and electric versions
and the truck-mounted concrete pump models
BSF 32.09, BSF 36.07/09, BSF 42.09
and BSS 46.14.
Our BSA 1404 HD, launched last September,
is now our most popular trailer concrete
pump in India. At the Excon trade
fair in November 2009, we were the first
to exhibit a homologated M 42 and a M 46
in semi-trailer version - marketable with
the Indian truck. These are machines that
surprised everyone and which are ideal as
a large boom for airports, flyovers, liquid
gas tanks, cooling towers and other types
of large construction projects.
PM: And to what extent have you built up
your service organisation so far?
SL: We now already have 13 bases, distributed
throughout the country, such as in
Delhi, Mumbai, Goa, Bangalore and Chennai,
to name but a few. In addition, we have
The modern Putzmeister plant in Goa, with an area of 100,000 m 2 , produces for
the Indian market.
of course also invested predominantly in
the qualification of our people in sales and
service.
PM: How has this expansion been possible
in such a short time?
SL: There are several reasons. One of these
is our Indian employees who are willing
to learn. They have learnt very quickly
with the help of experts from Germany. In
addition, their training was very practical:
in the after-sales service, during training
and in the consultation and implementation
of concrete placement in construction
projects.
PM: Are there examples of this?
SL: Our pumps have been used in very
many projects, such as the construction
of the underground railway in Delhi, the
sports complexes of the Commonwealth
Games, many steel and power plants, etc.
The most famous projects include Ruby
Mill (high-rise in Mumbai), the biggest refinery
in the world by ESSAR and Reliance
in Jamnagar as well as the airports in Delhi
and Mumbai, which were realised by L&T,
India‘s biggest construction firm.
PM: Finally, a completely different question:
What are you expecting from Bauma 2010?
SL: First, we‘re excited that India is the
partner country for this year‘s Bauma. We
hope that many customers will visit us at
this worldwide trade fair for construction
machinery, that we will be able to make
new contacts and that they will ultimately
take away a positive impression of the capability
of the Putzmeister Group. n

stationary pumps. A very prestigious reference
is the 190 m tall „Ruby Mill“ office
complex project in Mumbai (the current
height of construction is 160 m). This construction
project is a classic example of how
mechanisation improves construction or

out and the drops are sprinkled over the
venerated object.
The nut is then broken up completely. The
1 to 2 cm thick flesh is peeled out, cut into
cubes and distributed among the people
taking part in the ceremony as a “Prasadam”.
Indians understand “Prasadam” to
mean holy food, which is first offered to
god and then to the bystanders.
This ritual has meanwhile been adopted by
nearly all religious communities in India,
and is celebrated today when valuable
objects are obtained or before the start of
any new project. For example, for the first
use of a new vehicle, the laying of the foundation
stone of a new building or the dedication
of a bridge, etc.

pump is celebrated with a “breaking the
coconut” ritual.

The extraordinary good service provision

The Blessing Ritual: Breaking the coconut
Foreign visitors who are not familiar with the traditions of the Indian subcontinent are
always amazed at certain ceremonies and rituals in India. They are usually of a religious
origin. A very common tradition, for example, is the centuries-old ritual of „breaking the
coconut“.
This usually takes place in conjunction
with a “pooja” ceremony, during which
attention is drawn to new things, thanks
are expressed to the Almighty and the blessing
of the divinities is solicited. n

Vishvakarma – “God of the machines”
Vishvakarma is the Hindu god of handicraft.
According to Indian myth, he
not only constructed the cities and
palaces of the gods, but also the universe
itself.
He is worshipped by all tradesmen,
engineers and architects on the subcontinent.

Bauma partner country India
Not only for India – robust and
cost-effective trailer concrete pump
The BSA 1004 HD was originally developed
for the Indian market. It was to be
particularly robust, easy to use and, above
all, cheap to purchase and operate.
And to enable it to be towed from one
construction site to the next on the at times
very poor roads, the extremely compact
machine was equipped with a reinforced
chassis and leaf sprung running gear. Add
to this a modified trailer hitch, which is
also suitable for tractor towing.
The design of the concrete pump unit took
into account that, in some emerging markets,
concrete is often pumped relatively
dry, with a low cement content, unbalanced
grading curve and aggregate consisting
exclusively of broken material.
The specialist for site-made mix
The machine was designed to enable even
mixed concrete to be pumped reliably on
the construction site. To reduce wear, Putzmeister
India has retained hard-chromed
delivery cylinders as well as particularly
wear-resistant spare parts in the concrete
area. This concrete pump is recommended
for outputs of 40m 3 /h and delivery heights
of up to approx. 100 m.
The BSA 1004 HD has no CE mark and is
therefore not intended for sale or operation
in European countries as yet. As a robust
and compact machine, and with its excellent
price-performance ratio, it is especially
suitable for use in Asia and Africa. n

New high-performance
pump for mining tailings
and fly ash
Putzmeister Solid Pumps GmbH presents
a particularly high-pressure resistant and
expandable high-density solids pump for
material transport underground: the HSP
25100 SP. This pump system is of particular
interest for gold, diamond and zinc/
lead mines which need to stabilise their
pitheads, backfill demineralised chambers
economically or pump fine-grained
excavated material out of the processing
plant.
The HSP 25100 SP is a large-volume pump
with two individually-controlled delivery
pistons. PSP specifically designed the
pump to convey mining tailings and to
pump fly ash over great distances. In order
to achieve as constant a delivery as possible
without pressure peaks, Putzmeister
can, on request, equip these mining pumps
with the PCF control (PCF: Pressure Constant
Flow).
The HSP pump head is modular in design.
This makes a noticeable contribution to
reducing operating costs. The replacement
of worn parts now only involves repla-
cing the actual worn-out components and
no longer encompasses the entire pump
head.
Lowering operating costs with
the right service
Putzmeister Solid Pumps GmbH focuses
strongly on the subject of reducing operating
costs. There are numerous different
ways of achieving this, depending on the
country, operational requirements and cost
structure. For this purpose, Putzmeister
offers both technical advice and training
for service engineers.
Project consultation increases
efficiency
One of PSP‘s strengths is professional advise
on the handling, storage and delivery
of high-density substances. In the mining
industry, the company‘s is often consulted
by operators and planners long before the
plant is commissioned.
A key factor in this is that the engineers
at Putzmeister Solid Pumps GmbH bring
At the silver mine in San Bartolomé (Bolivia), two HSP 25100 pumps convey the
residue of washed-out sludge into a dumping ground.
46
together their specialist knowledge of the
machines and their experiences in pumping
high-density solids, with the pressure
and flow characteristics of the media and in
calculating and configuring pump systems.
This, along with details about the procedure
and the desired delivery rate, allows better
alternative solutions to be developed.
This pays off - in lower costs and faster processes
with increased safety. n

Mining and tunneling
Deep in the heart
of the dark continent
The Putzmeister wet shotcrete machines
are used worldwide.
Here, the SPM 407 P works in a copper
mine in the “copper belt”. This is the name
for Africa‘s biggest copper mining region
deep in the heart of the continent.

Handmade shotcrete
The SPM 702 is represented at the trade
fair stand by its big brother. The lightweight,
compact concrete pump can be
used for a wide range of applications,
such as concrete spraying, mortar injection
and other concreting projects.
It is very well suited to narrow tunnel
pipes and can be used optimally both for
securing the head with shotcrete, and for
floor and arch concreting of crossways.
The pump is available with a truck-mounted
chassis or a carriage-like base structure.
Of course, the machine operators have
received intensive training at the time of
commissioning. This is part of the worldwide
Putzmeister Service, which ensures that
our customers are able to make the most of
their new machines. n
If equipped with an additive tank, it is constructed
on a double-axle long trailer.
The integrated metering device guarantees
additive delivery proportional to the concrete
output and therefore guarantees economical
and efficient use of the expensive
chemicals. n
The new SPM 4207: concrete spraying
specially for small tunnel cross-sections
The Bauma innovation for concrete
spatter in mines and tunnels is specially
designed for small cross-sections, with
its boom reach of 8.5 m.
The new SPM 4207 is the result of the
experience made on construction sites
throughout the world in recent years with
the predecessor model SPM 407.
The highlight:
Even in the PC variant with additionally
integrated screw compressor, it remains
as compact and flexible as the predecessor
model. This was a particular request from
customers and makes its use significantly
more mobile and independent than with
the previously available machines with
similar dimensions.
The basis for this is an intelligent chassis
concept as a platform, on which different
customer-specific requirements can be realised.
During development, great emphasis
was placed on a very robust frame, which
is adapted to the highest stresses of working
in a tunnel.
Other advantages of the new
shotcrete machine:
• a cost-saving Additive Management
System
• an on-board computer with multi-
linguistic colour display for showing per-
formance data, mixture breakdown,
error diagnostics, warnings, etc.
• safety driver‘s cab in accordance with
the ROPS/FOPS ordinance
• xenon working lights
• protected support legs
• optional turbocharger for diesel engine
for use at high altitudes
In addition, there are option packages,
which can be adapted to the different conditions
in mines and tunnels, such as: mine
tyres, cable drum with up to 100 m, catalytic
converter, diesel particle filter, integrated
fire protection system, high-pressure
cleaner or a water pump (operable both via
diesel and electric motor). n

The differences between genuine (left) and copies (right) are not always as obvious
as with these oil filters, but they are nearly always bad for the customer.
Beware of cheap parts
and dumping offers!
Nothing is so tempting as a low price.
But imitation parts can often be more
expensive and not everything that has
the same number is always the same.
APS manager, Uwe Tichy, describes the
differences.
PM: Mr. Tichy, with Putzmeister genuine
parts, you are trying to clearly distinguish
yourself from offers by so-called pirates.
Why?
UT: First and foremost, we want to ensure
that the machines work reliably and safely
for our customers. The higher the availability
of our pumps, the more satisfied our
customers will be. Often, however, minor
details such as poorly fitting replacement
and wear parts can cause faults which lead
to an unexpected failure.
PM: But reality shows that they work well
at times.
UT: In this case working well simply
means that the machine runs. The question
is whether or not it pumps economically.
Unnecessarily high downtimes or excessive
wear costs are not noticed in some
circumstances.
Here, it is clear that the price of a part is
often only one side of the coin. Service life,
effects on the pumping behaviour of the
machine and operational safety are just as
important and cost-intensive, but are not
as easily measurable as the price.
60
PM: What are the differences in the
imitation parts?
UT: Concrete pump manufacturers need
larger quantities of parts than the imitators
and have also learnt from the mistakes of
the 90s and made their replacement part
prices more marketable. Therefore, the
imitators have to make savings in order
to remain cheaper. They do this by cutting
costs in terms of the material, processing
or by deliberately ignoring safety regula-
tions and standards.
PM: Do you have an example?
UT: Yes. If, for example, you put less natural
rubber and, consequently, more soot
into a rubber component, it will naturally
be cheaper. But the abrasion values, tearresistance
and therefore the service life
will suffer significantly. This occurs above
all in seals and delivery pistons.
It is only partially dependent on where
the part was produced, for manufacturers
too make international purchases. The
only important thing is that the part complies
with the technical requirements and
quality regulations.
PM: But customers must keep an eye on
their costs, and not all of them always need
a high-quality part.
UT: That‘s true. That‘s why Putzmeister
genuine parts includes a wide range of
wear parts and delivery lines. The range
includes very cost-effective parts, which
are perfectly adequate for a machine with
a relatively low output per year. These cheaper
parts can also be a good alternative in
regions with less abrasive aggregates. On
the other hand, wherever the annual output
is very high, we recommend using our
highly wear-resistant parts, which we are
continuously developing and optimising.
PM: And is this ultimately worth it for the
customer?
UT: We are convinced that it is. Even with
the “cheap” genuine parts, the fit, quality
and interaction with the other components
are just right. The quality requirements are
documented during the design stage and in
the drawing and do not develop at random
during production
This is evident not least of all in the fact
that we offer service life guarantees in
many cases, or service contracts through to
a full service agreement. In this case, with
our genuine parts, we take on the risk ourselves
and can say that, in our experience,
this is also worth it for us.
61
Copies can also be dangerous.
Here is a cheap hose clamp, which was
cast instead of forged.
PM: How can I recognise a genuine part?
UT: Unfortunately, this isn‘t quite so easy
as there are many counterfeits with PM
marking or which are promoted as being
“from original manufacturer”. Imitators
and dealers are not deterred by anything
in this respect. - In principle, the most reliable
and easiest thing to do is to buy the
parts from the manufacturer or one of its
authorised sales partners. n

A mobile bypass filter extends the service
life and makes savings on oil changes
PM wear parts –
top grade in
two quality levels
Depending on the region and the aggregates
available there, all parts that come
into direct contact with concrete during
pumping are subject to high levels of wear.
These parts include the S transfer tube,
spectacle wear plate and rings, etc. and
last but not least, the delivery line. The difference
in wear by low to highly abrasive
The latest version of the PM spectacle
wear plate consists completely of hard
metal and has up to 6 times higher service
life than built-up welded parts.

64
Keep costs down with
inspection and maintenance
It is in particular during times when concrete
pumps are utilised less that investments
in ongoing maintenance prove to
be a kind of “insurance” against cost
explosions.
In such times, unplanned high costs due
to failures or the replacement of expensive
components can no longer be generated at
short notice via earnings.
One easy way of lowering costs is to fit a
bypass filter, which significantly improves
the oil quality by means of fine particle filtering.
Examples from maintenance agreements
with this option show that even after
4000 operating hours the hydraulic fluid
did not require replacement and there was
no damage in the hydraulic system.
materials can be extremely great. To reduce
part costs and extend the replacement
intervals, Putzmeister uses high-quality
genuine PM wear parts even for standard
equipment.
So, for example, the Duro 22 hard builtup
welded spectacle wear plate can achieve
a service life of 40,000 m 3 with average
concrete. Moreover, due to the manufacturing
process, typical cracks occur during
the cooling down period, which are a
characteristic of great hardness and wearresistance.
In terms of even longer service lives, Putzmeister
is exhibiting a new generation of
hard metal wear parts at the trade fair. The
hard metal plates, which are applied to the
full surface with no cracks, have been additionally
reinforced at the critical edges.
This has improved the wear characteristics
overall and prevents early breakage
of individual plates. n
Installation of the filter has therefore already
paid for itself after the first oil change
is due, as the costs of the filter, depending
on the size of the machine, are roughly
equal to the costs of the oil change. The
oil quality is simply inspected at the 500
hour service, together with the operability
of the filter.
For more information on this and on complete
service packages through to the full
maintenance agreement, speak to the
PM service specialists at the trade fair
stand or anytime after the trade fair. At
Putzmeister Services, in addition to the
technical aspect of the solution, you can
also obtain important tips on correct maintenance
and operation in the context of
inspection and training packages. n
Wear under control
65
Anyone who values safety and wants
to use his delivery line to the full cannot
avoid checking or measuring the
wall thickness. Two devices for doing
this can be tried out by the machine
operator in the service area on the
Bauma.
These are ultimately
simple devices
for reducing
wear costs.

Mortar machines
The piston pump P 13 –
the “offroad plastering machine”
The robust piston pump proves its worth worldwide under the toughest conditions.
To date, there has been a serious problem
for businesses wishing to process
site-made mix with a plastering machine.
Although sand is locally available in
abundance in regions like South America
or the Middle East, it could often not be
used even there in the pumps which
were used. The new Putzmeister P 13 KA
230 plastering machine can already process
virtually every type of sand up to a
grain size of 10 mm. This has been made
possible by redesigning a KA 230 type
piston pump which can also handle the
most arduous of plastering tasks.
Many companies on construction sites
around the world have themselves found a
way of producing their own mixes directly
on site. However, the locally available
sands which used to be employed for plastering
by hand are often unsuitable for
processing in conventional pumps. As a
result, suitable sand has to be bought in and
in some cases transported to the construction
site across considerable distances. The
costs which this generated were once the
main reason why many companies were
unwilling to switch from manual work to
machine technology.
This is no longer a problem thanks to the
new P 13 from Putzmeister with the KA
230 piston pump. The KA 230 was specially
developed for processing all locally
occurring types of sand up to a grain
size of 10 mm and even the most difficult
of mortars.
The allrounder for all hardnesses
The new KA 230 dual piston pump has a
specially developed larger pump head and
has been specifically optimised to handle
difficult types of material. It is extremely
robust and low-wearing. It operates according
to the successful dual piston principle
with one working piston and one compensating
piston. It can also be used to process
other materials, of course, such as
prebagged internal and external plaster,
bentonite slurries, finishing plaster, insulating
plaster, cement plaster, lime cement
plaster and even light wall mortar. Thus,
it has proven to be a surprisingly versatile
allrounder that can be used in any difficult
situation.
When designing the whole P 13 concept,
Putzmeister kept in mind that this machine
is intended for use mainly on sites around
the world where the harshest of conditions
67
can be found. A deliberate decision was
therefore taken to use as few electronic
components as possible. All functions and
operating elements of the P 13 are purely
mechanical and therefore particularly
robust and insusceptible to malfunction.
Diesel power package with
offroad quality
The P 13 is driven by a 2 cylinder diesel
engine with 12.5 kW. With this, it achieves
a delivery pressure of up to 40 bar. The
compulsory mixer, vibrating screen and
pneumatic remote control on the spraying
machine are practical equipment that come
as standard. On request, the P 13 is also
available with a fully road-approved chassis.
This means, the „offroader“ can get to
any construction site easily.
Therefore the new piston pump from Putzmeister
is a real match for any challenge
around the world. n

Of course, after years of operation, the work performed is apparent on used machines.
So that you do not notice its age, they are restored at Putzmeister by qualified technicians.
Putzmeister used machines –
first class from second hand
The demand for used machines in
manufacturer quality is uninterrupted.
But beware: With second hand truckmounted
concrete pumps in particular,
it is not necessarily obvious whether or
not the apparently cheap offer of a used
machine dealer is also actually worth
the price.
For only the manufacturer has the technical
know-how and detailed knowledge
of the construction of individual components
and on the method of operation
of electronic or hydraulically controls.
That‘s why Putzmeister is presenting the
PM used machinery centre in a separate
stand area.
For every currently available machine,
detailed documentation with photos, technical
data, mileages, operating hours, etc. is
available. In addition, examples show how
thoroughly reworked the second hand concrete
pumps restored in the manufacturer‘s
plant actually are, or what work could still
be performed by the manufacturer – and
at what cost.
