Femern A/S awarded the Tunnel Portals and Ramps, Tunnel South and Tunnel North Contracts to Femern Link Contractors (FLC) in 2016. SBM Mineral Processing GmbH is pleased to announce that following commencement of the project, Femern Link Contractors (FLC) has subsequently awarded the exclusive supply of concrete mixing plants to SBM Mineral Processing GmbH, who are proud to be a part of the world’s longest immersed tunnel and the longest tunnel for both road and rail traffic.

Desde el año 2017, Talleres Alquézar utiliza con éxito dos mezcladores de BHS en su planta modular en Portugal para la producción de hormigón para presas con un volumen total de 400.000 m3. En este proyecto tan exigente, se concluyó que el mezclador discontinuo de dos ejes era el sistema idóneo, superando el mito del sector que afi rma que esta tecnología no es adecuada para este tipo de mezclas de hormigón. En cuanto a la duda planteada sobre la idoneidad del mezclador en este proyecto, la constructora española ha superado incluso las elevadas exigencias del hormigón a emplear para la construcción de la presa portuguesa.

For the processing of aluminium scrap, a specialized waste management company in southern Germany has opted for a Rotorshredder (type RS) from BHS-Sonthofen. The rotor shredder not only processes the aluminium scrap but also optimally breaks up composites, which results in fractions with a high degree of purity.

La carrière de Khor Khuwair, exploitée par la société Stevin Rock aux Émirats arabes unis, utilise depuis deux ans deux concasseurs à axe vertical BHS-Sonthofen de type RSMX pour corriger la forme des sables. Ces derniers sont utilisés en quantité pour produire des bétons à hautes performances dans de nombreux projets de la péninsule arabique.

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.

BHS-Sonthofen is refining their innovative process for the recycling of spent batteries. It reliably prevents fires and the release of hazardous gases, as the crusher process is kept gas-tight all the way until the dryer, which is where the electrolytes are evaporated. This process is suitable for automobile batteries as well as lithium-ion and other household batteries. The resulting products are ready to be sold.
