Continuous production for major infrastructure project
January 2021
Despite Covid-19 safety protocols, work continues on schedule at one of the highest volume precast, prestressed concrete yards in North America: the Dragados-Flatiron Joint Venture (DFJV) Pre-Cast Facility in Hanford, California. Hanford Pre-Cast Facility crews are on a tight schedule to complete the 40-acre major infrastructure project by February 2022. Within a total of four years, the contractors are fabricating nearly 2,400 California Wide Flange (CWF) girders, 90 tub girders and 12,000-plus deck panels. In order to achieve this, DFJV built a batch plant for the production of self-consolidating type mixes, combining a Vince Hagan HT Haganator with a BHS-Sonthofen twin-shaft mixer, the latter assuring short, but very robust cycles to yield high-flow concretes exhibiting 20-in. spreads with zero aggregate segregation.

Recycling gypsum wallboard: Turning construction waste into a chemically-pure resource
November 2020
EU regulations, the reduction in FGD gypsum from lower coal use and increasing construction are among the many reasons that wallboard recycling is becoming more attractive. However, the process needs to be cost-efficient. To this end, BHS-Sonthofen has developed a process that entails two crushing stages. This even makes it possible to recycle any adhering impurities.

Filtering with great flexibility
November 2020
Instability on markets and greater frequency of product changes are two of several trends that promote the demand for flexible systems in the fine chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Modular production systems enable shorter market introduction times and accelerated engineering phases. BHS-Sonthofen now has implemented a new plant concept for solid-liquid separation. The result is a modular pilot plant that includes a rotary pressure filter.
