KYB-Conmat offers stationary concrete pumps and rack and pinion construction elevators that are ideal for high-rise construction. Skyscrapers, super tall buildings in the city are usually characterised as a landmark. For smooth construction, it is necessary to have experts who can manage technologies from material to maintenance, and apply them to the work. The key element technologies of skyscrapers are construction of mega mat foundation, delivering architectural load into the ground, structural system optimisation, high-rise building measurement technology, and construction equipment technology. Concrete pump technologies are essential for high-rise buildings. Today, various ranges of concrete pumping machines are available that are economical and smart. It also helps in placing the concrete at the desired height and place. Stationary concrete pump Sailaj Verma, Senior Vice President Sales, KYB-Conmat India, shares about the complete range of KYB-Conmat i-Pump technology machines. He says, 'KYB-Conmat pursues a research and development (R&D) strategy that is closely linked to its client's expectations. This need alignment and the perpetual success of the stationary concrete pumps have given the industry a whole range of i-Pump technology machines which includes the SCP 5000 and SCP 7500. The Stationary Concrete Pump with Intelligent Controls have many features like S-Valve technology, robust electronic operation controls and management with manual overdrive. Also, it is suitable for high pressure pumping and Indian ambient conditions, and this is the reason why it is one of the most compact pump in its class.' He adds, 'The i-Pump technology concrete pump makes transfer and placement easier and faster for casting of civil structures. It also reduces manpower requirements at the site and also avoids human errors in the process. This makes the i-Pump technology machines economical to run and they are also environmentally-friendly.ö Rack and pinion construction elevator In the early days, wood scaffolding were used by labourers as the way to bring the material at different elevations of the building. This was very unsafe for human life, labour-oriented, time-consuming and not accurate as well, which thus led to delaying of the project on site. This gave birth to the rope type elevator which got into further innovation to rack and pinion (R&P) elevator, which is used for man and material movement, and is self-erecting. Safety during operation is the major concern of the industry. To tackle this challenge, KYB-Conmat elevator machines have been designed keeping in mind the human and the machine safety. KYB-Conmat has 1, 1.5 and 2 tonne capacity R&P construction elevator, which is used for passenger movements and also to carry goods and materials that can use used for under construction buildings. The operation of the elevator is completely automatic PLC-based with HMI system. Construction elevators of KYB-Conmat have a number of safety features, one of which is the safety device that ensures that even in a complete failure of the drive the cage will not fall down. A mechanical, spring loaded safety brake is a standard feature in all KYB-Conmat elevator models. It improves the safety and reliability of the elevator in everyday use. The safety brake is well protected from dirt and dust, which is practically maintenance-free. (Communication by the management of the company)
