Putzmeister Largest Boom Pump BSS 46 at Work
The Launch of BSS 46 in India by Putzmeister is in line with its philosophy of opening new segments & making the latest technology available to the Indian customers. The Boom Pump is mounted on a trailer. With trailer configuration, it has opened the era of higher reach Boom Pumps in India which till now were restricted because of non-availability of bigger Truck chassis. The pump is equipped with 5 arms for better reach and maneuverability. It has a maximum vertical reach of 45.1m (148ft) and horizontal reach of 41.1m (134ft). It is also equipped with a 140 cum/hr core pump and is mounted on a homologated trailer which is allowed to run on Indian roads.
In the past, the Indian customers faced lot of difficulties in getting their projects executed for want of bigger Boom Pumps. Ultimately they had to import these Boom Pumps and were allowed to keep them in the country till the completion of the project. Once the project was completed the pumps were sent back to their place of origin. Earlier, PM also imported 52 M Boom Pumps for projects in India and subsequently shipped them back to home after the project was over. Keeping these difficulties in view, PM India opened the segment of larger Boom Pumps in the India by launching BSS 46 which according to the company is India’s biggest and the only 46 m Trailer mounted Boom pump.
BSS 46 has been designed in accordance with the existing road regulations. Customer does not require special permission to move this machine from one place to another as it can be pulled by a tractor. As most of the customers have tractors in their fleets, this lead to lesser investment in buying the concrete pump. Slave Engine of 190 KW Volvo Penta, which is another added feature of BSS 46, is very fuel-efficient and there is an economic output control system by which RPM of the Engine can be adjusted according to the Load on the Machine and this again leads to higher fuel efficiency.
The RZ-folding technology of BSS 46 is most advanced helping in quick erection of the Boom and concrete pouring can be started immediately. Apart from normal applications, this pump is also suitable for infrastructure projects including LNG tanks, chimneys, power plants etc. BSS 46 is currently working on the site of the residential Project being developed by Unitech Developers at Sector-33, Gurgaon in Haryana.
