COMMERCIAL FEATURE Masterflex All-round vibration machine for production of concrete pipes and manholes
I had no doubt they could supply the equipment I needed ” ANTONY BENESI, MANAGING DIRECTOR, ACSEND CONCRETE addition to this, the VIHY Multicast SCV 120 with the unique vertical vibration system gives Acsend Concrete high flexibiltiy and versatility, enabling them to introduce new products to the market – products which Benesi had seen on his trip to Scandinavia and which he had no doubt would bring great value to the Zimbabwean market. The plant was commissioned in 2014-2015 and Acsend Concrete now supplies concrete products of the highest quality to their markets.
Joint project development Acsend Concrete and HawkeyePedershaab worked closely together throughout the whole project. Benesi explains, “I knew HawkeyePedershaab and their machines from previous experience, so I had no doubt they could supply the equipment I needed. But equally important they were a very valuable partner and an incredible source of information in the design phase of the whole plant. They assisted in the design of the batching plant, the design of the building, the logistics inside the building as well as the outside logistics around incoming materials and outgoing products. “The cooperation with HawkeyePedershaab has given me a state-of-the-art production plant where we not only are able to supply today’s products, but also the products of the future. A dependable precast product has its roots deeply embedded in an equally reliable production plant.”
