SCHWING Stetter Launches New Truck-mounted Concrete Pump S-36
SCHWING Stetter India Pvt Ltd., a 100% subsidiary of SCHWING Gmbh, Germany, and a leading player in the Indian Concrete equipment industry, has launched S-36, the latest truck mounted concrete pump in the SCHWING's Indian range of products. The S-36 is the fifth improved variant of concrete pump to join SCHWING Stetter’s range of truck-mounted concrete pumps in India, who also manufactures the S-17, KVM-32, S-32, and KVM-34 XG-5 ranges of truck-mounted concrete pumps for the Indian market.
The S-36 truck-mounted concrete pump is ideal for the 3–axle truck variety, widely popular in India. The state-of-the-art vector control system helps customers plan their maintenance schedules in the most efficient way, and assures high returns on investment with an average output of 90 cubic meters of concrete per hour. The pump allows for placement of concrete at distances of more than 100 feet vertically and 90 feet horizontally. Designed and manufactured according to the most stringent international testing standards, the S-36 truck mounted concrete pump is extremely fuel efficient and demands minimal maintenance, thereby ensuring operational reliability and extended operational life for the product. Compared to the existing fleet of truck-mounted concrete pumps, S-36 occupies minimal space and can pump concrete up to 10 floors.
Speaking at the launch of S-36 Truck Mounted Concrete Pump, Mr. Anand Sundaresan, Managing Director, SCHWING Stetter India Pvt. Ltd., said, “It gives us immense pleasure to announce the launch of the S-36 truck-mounted concrete pump. Today, technology is playing an increasingly important role in the construction sector, largely enabling clients to optimize their investments. Keeping this in mind, we at SCHWING have always introduced products, which reduce the possible percentages for errors, while being extremely cost-effective. The S-36 is once again in keeping with our philosophy of understanding our clients’ needs, drawing our cues from them and offering products and services that will offer them the best value-for-money.”
SCHWING Stetter India has also been recognized internationally for the world record set by the company in pumping concrete vertically up to a record height to 715 meters for the Parbati Hydro-electric project in Suind village, Himachal Pradesh. The project is being implemented by the National Hydro-electric Corporation. The Parbati Hydroelectric Project Stage-II is a run-of-the-river scheme, proposed to harness hydro potential of the lower reaches of the river Parbati. SCHWING Stetter India supplied BP 4000 super concrete pumps to Gammon India, which is executing the project for pumping concrete from the bottom of the tunnel to the top of the tunnel, which had a total length of 1500 meters and an inclination of 30Ú. The record set as part of the project was recognized on August 7, 2009.
Commenting on the world record, Mr. V.G. Sakthikumar, Chief Operating Officer, SCHWING Stetter India Pvt. Ltd., said, “It is a matter of great honor for us to be recognized worldwide for pumping concrete up to a height of 715 meters, vertically. Our commitment to our customers is what sets us apart from other players and this recognition is further testimony to this. We’re confident that the S-36, which has been designed keeping Indian preferences in mind, will be received very well by all our customers. We will continue to maintain our high quality standards, thereby consolidating our position as the market leaders, by strictly adhering to best engineering practices.”
