BHS-Sonthofen

BHS-Sonthofen exhibited its product range in the field of mixing and crushing technology at bauma 2010. Several innovations that will be presented includes the new series of mixer type DKXN. It has been especially developed for ready-mix producers using mostly high-slump concrete.

For mixing applications, which need higher shear forces, a special twin-shaft batch mixer has been developed. This mixer is mainly suitable for the production of modern concrete recipes in the field of pre-cast concrete production (e.g., UHPC) or for special applications like landfill sealings. As mixing accessory the new impulse controlled lubrication system was presented. It allows an automatic greasing of all mixer sealings at the end of each production shift.

In field of the crushing technology BHS is specialized on vertical shaft impact crushers and mills. The BHS machines are operating to the great satisfaction of many aggregate producers worldwide in order to improve the shape of the final product, to produce crushed sand or for selective crushing applications.

An innovation at bauma was a semi mobile plant with a BHS Rotor Centrifugal Crusher. The plant is equipped with feeding hopper, conveying belts for input and output and a control system. It can hydraulically be lifted up and down in order to place it on any standard low-bed trailer. The plant is an attractive solution for operators with changing locations. Also in export markets, there is a growing demand for such a compact unit, which can easily be integrated into any existing facility.

Another main focus on the booth of BHS was the presentation of practical applications examples. In the field of mixing technology several concrete columns were presented, made from various demanding modern recipes (e.g., colored concrete, SCC, steel fiber concrete…). In the field of crushing technology, several transparent columns were exposed. They are filled with crushing examples from various kinds of rock. For a better analysis, the individual screening fractions are placed in layers on top of each other. The examples demonstrate the wide range of applications of BHS machines in mixing and crushing technology.
