Blue Smoke Control, a division of Anaheim, Calif.-based Butler-Justice Inc., introduced X-VOCS, the company’s newest system for eradicating odor-causing emissions produced as a byproduct during hot-mix asphalt production.
The X-VOCS System features proprietary carbon absorption technology designed to filter and remove up to 99 percent of odors and VOCs, such as Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S), from tanks.
X-VOCS incorporates a five-stage filtration system. In the first three stages, a series of filters remove more than 95 percent of targeted particulates down to 0.3 microns. In the final two stages, carbon filtration beds remove remaining odors and volatiles. The X-VOCS system is ideal for new plants, and also is easily retrofittable into existing operations, with minimal modifications to the plant, according to the company.
Further, when the X-VOCS technology is coupled with the company’s Blue Smoke Control system, emissions from hot-mix plants can be reduced to nearly zero, providing owners with the means to achieve the highest level of environmental stewardship. Implementation of this technology has
Invisible emissions from plants — specifically, the odor-causing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that reside in hot asphalt storage tanks — can create a number of challenges for producers, ranging from regulatory requirements to overt opposition from neighbors.
been proven to virtually end calls from nearby neighbors regarding odor and visual emissions. Similar to X-VOCS, the Blue Smoke Control system is retrofittable with few plant modifications.
According to Mike Butler, president of Butler-Justice, “We worked for many years to solve the odor and VOC issues associated with asphalt production. The patent-pending technology of X-VOCS can stand on its own, but it also combines well with our industry-standard Blue Smoke Control system to reduce both odor and blue smoke, which are some of the most common causes of neighborhood and Air Quality Board issues.”
Blue Smoke Control division of Butler-Justice Inc. is a leading supplier of complete blue smoke control and odor control systems that eliminate both the blue haze typically found during the production of hot mix asphalt, as well as odor-causing VOCs. With hundreds of successful installations in the continental United States and Hawaii, as well as Canada, Mexico, Australia and Europe, Blue Smoke Control achieves the highest standards of emissions control, with reasonable initial investment costs and economical ongoing expenses, according to the manufacturer.

Molson Coors needed to repurpose the concrete floor at its Toronto brewing facility. Besides the floor being 20 years old, the company wanted to convert the property from a production facility complete with bottle washer, filler and pasteurizer that drain onto sloped floors into a warehouse.
Approximately 35,000 sq. ft. of concrete flooring needed to be removed from the 60,000-sq.-ft. facility and the sloped floors needed to be milled to prepare for new concrete to be placed back at a level grade.
Site Manager Wayne Nyhuis considered redoing the floor in the same manner when he replaced a similar floor 15 years ago. At the time, they used a grinder.
Meanwhile, Tyler Thompson, vice president of construction at Ross and Anglin, attended the Canadian Concrete Expo in February 2020 and met Christoph Ott, of Lutec North America.
Ott informed Thompson of the benefits of using a Lutec Comicat CM 140 milling machine, including its ability to cleanly, costeffectively and quickly mill concrete to specification.
“The Comicat 140 is an efficient and productive machine for grinding concrete, asphalt and terrazzo,” said Ott. “The German-engineered machine provides the best possible solution to get the surface prepared correctly for final overlayment and is used regularly to prepare floors in retail centers, industrial buildings, hospitals and parking garages, as well as prepare bridge, concrete road and asphalt road surfaces for resurfacing. Also, the machine is equipped with a dust-suppressant system that includes a Hepa filter, the machine is ideal for work indoors.”
Then, Nyhuis contacted Thompson about removing the concrete floor from the Molson Coors facility. Thompson told Nyhuis that he would like to use the Lutec Comicat CM 140. Intrigued, Nyhuis scheduled follow-up conversations with Ott before allowing Ross and Anglin to use the Comicat CM 140 to mill the 35,000 sq. ft. of flooring and Ross and Anglin subcontracted Lutec North America to perform the work.
Lutec North America is not only responsible for all North American sales of the Lutec Comicat CM140, the company also provides concrete milling services within Southern Ontario.
Beating the Big Boys
Due to its compact size, the Comicat CM 140 could move unhindered around the facility. Its use also allowed normal operations to proceed at most of the site.
Nyhuis also had one time used a milling attachment on a skid steer loader. He said it didn’t work as well as the Comicat CM 140. It was less efficient and accurate. It also created a lot more dust. Besides its size, the machine’s cleanliness makes it well-suited for working indoors. The machine produces so little diesel emissions and dust that it’s considered safe for indoor operation even when other people are on site.
The milled surface also was safe for pedestrian use so people could walk across the floor before the new floor was laid.
Staying Safe
During COVID
The use of the Comicat CM 140 can significantly decrease the number of people on the job site, which aids in decreasing risk of COVID-19 transmission.
The Comicat CM 140 removes up to 3 in. of concrete, asphalt or terrazzo by milling it with 31 rotating teeth, leaving a path of debris in its wake. A skid steer loader follows the Comicat CM 140 to clean the debris. So, only two people — one in each machine — need to be present. Little manual work is necessary.
On the other hand, in order to remove the 35,000 sq. ft. of flooring at the Molson Coors facility, it would take 10 people with jackhammers to accomplish the same task in the same amount of time.
The use of the Lutec Comicat CM 140 proved to be the right tool when Molson Coors needed to replace a floor at its Toronto facility. Doing More Work in Less Time
During the project, Nyhuis decided the facility would benefit if another section of the floor (approximately 10,000 sq. ft.) were milled. Lutec North America completed the additional milling by the deadline quoted for the original 35,000 The Lutec Comicat CM 140 uses a 31-piece milling sq. ft.. tool to mill up to 3 in. deep and 14 in. wide in a single “I was really impressed with how quickly Lutec was able pass. This allows for a production rate of up to to mill the floors using the Comicat CM 140,” said Nyhuis. 1,200 sq. ft. per hour. “We even lost a day of work due to a COVID-related shutdown.” But, the Comicat CM 140 doesn’t just do the same job as other methods, but faster — it does them better, according to the manufacturer. Milling slopes to a consistent grade is a difficult task regardless of the method. The Molson Coors project required milling slopes up to 3 in. in height. However, the Comicat CM 140 was able to mill the slopes to the point they were consistent with the rest of the floor. “I was both surprised and impressed with the machine’s ability to mill slopes so well and so easily,” said Nyhuis. And, since the Comicat CM 140 can accurately mill down concrete to one-eighth of an inch, it doesn’t remove more concrete than is necessary, which often happens with other methods. According to Nyhuis, this saved the company a lot of money when it came to pouring new concrete. Also, the milled surface provides a better bonding between the milled surface and the new concrete. “It has been months since we laid the new floor and there still isn’t a single crack in it,” said Nyhuis. “Engineers predicted that it would have cracked by now. I attribute the absence of cracks to the excellent bonding qualities of the milled surface.”

Curb Roller Manufacturing, a leader in shaped concrete roller screeds, introduced its first modular screed system, the Lynx Screed.
This versatile alternative to completing flatwork provides a series of linkable screed pipes to accommodate concrete pours in varying widths from 3 to 22 ft. Unlike traditional roller screeds, the Lynx modular system removes the need for purchasing dedicated pipe lengths to offer easy adaptability for a multitude of pours, according to the manufacturer. Its aluminum design decreases strenuous set up, shipping costs and transportation requirements for jobs that call for longer pipes.
Curb Roller Manufacturing highlighted the Lynx Screed, along with other products and technologies, at booth World of Concrete in June.
“Screed adaptability and efficiency have been two of the biggest obstacles for concrete contractors’ productivity,” said Seth Ulmer, Curb Roller Manufacturing sales manager.
The Lynx modular screed system, compatible with the manufacturer’s Eel and Batt screeds, is available in two packages. Package one consists of three 7-ft. pipes and package two contains a 5-, 7- and 9-ft. pipe. The system also can be customized to include any 3-, 5-, 7- and 9-ft. length combination up to 22 ft.
In addition to more versatility over standard roller screeds, the Lynx Screed offers greater ease of use and reliability compared to other modular systems on the market through its quick and secure field assembly design, according to the manufacturer. The Lynx pipes are easily aligned and connected with three separate bolts and a centering ring.
The operator simply places the centering ring between two pipes, securely seating them together. From there, the cut outs at the pipes’ ends allow the operator to easily insert three bolts, securing the pipes together by tightening the nut. With this setup, users don’t have to retighten their pipes mid-job or worry about unthreading when changing screeding directions.
The Lynx Screed system eases maintenance and setup by using different size nuts and bolts, 9/16 and 11/16, enabling contractors to use a single, common wrench set for assembly and disassembly. The Lynx setup is completed by bolting drive and static heads to the assembled pipe’s ends and then connecting to Curb Roller Manufacturing’s electric Eel Screed or battery-powered Batt Screed.

Dynapac CA1300/1400 soil compactors are vibratory roller designed for compaction operations in pipe trenches, compacting roads, streets, repair work and parking lots.
These 5 to 7 ton rollers pack a big punch and have enhanced maneuverability, which also make them a great option for compaction on large building foundations, industrial construction sites, steep slopes and in cramped spaces in connection with refilling work, according to the manufacturer. The PD version, equipped with pads and drum drive, is especially suitable for the compaction of silt and clayey soils and can be equipped with levelling blade and the D version with pad shell kit.
To improve operator’s comfort Dynapac is introducing a cab with fresh air ventilation, heating and air conditioning. External traffic mirrors, four LED working lights, rotating beacon and radio w i t h USB/MP3 and Bluetooth connection are standard.
CA1400 With
Two Amplitudes, Two Speeds
Compaction width 54 and 66 in. respectively and static linear load up to 114 PLI (20 kg/cm) give the ability to compact sand and gravel up to 20 in.
The CA1400 features two amplitudes, high at 0.067 in. and low at 0.032 in., making the machine versatile and suited for all supporting and reinforcement courses, according to the manufacturer. The PD version can compact silt and clay at a depth of 18 in.
Tier IV Final/StageV Engine
With ECO as Standard
Machines are equipped with Kubota Tier IV Final/StageV engine at 75hp (55 kW), latest emission standard and ECO mode as standard. This means low fuel consumption and low CO2 emissions and also a very low noise level at all times. The engine is transversally mounted to get increased service access standing on ground and air inlet for both combustion air and cooling air is high located to minimize dust intake. A 12 volt outlet is located in the engine compartment to facilitate service even during night operation. drum drive traction both forward and reverse is at its best. The CA1400 dual speed secures a high transportation speed that is easy to control with the balanced stroke of the forward and reverse lever. If the levelling blade is mounted, all controls are operated with the top buttons on forward and reverse lever, no need to change grip on lever or steering wheel.
Safety First
Safety functions include back-up alarm, battery switch outside fire zone and interlock. As always on Dynapac machines, the parking brake is separated from the forward and reverse lever, to prevent the parking brake from being unintentionally released. The engine hood is lockable to cover all filling points to secure operation, even if machine is left in field overnight.
Operator’s Station With View
The ergonomically designed operator’s station with ROPS/FOPS or safety cab offers a high level of operator comfort and good visibility over the work area and surroundings. Working lights for best visibility and night work is standard as well as the protective structure around operator’s legs and 3 in. seat belt. The vibration insulated platform gives very low body and hand/arm vibrations. The cab door is large and able to open at an angle that facilitates easy entering of the operator’s station.
The safety cab features external traffic mirrors, four LED working lights, rotating beacon and radio with USB/MP3 and Bluetooth connection as standard. Fresh air ventilation with filter, heating and air conditioning is standard as well as tinted windows to minimize heat radiation and reflections. Wipers and washers front and rear and right cab window openable for communication and positioning mirrors together with interior light makes it possible to work in all conditions.
