14 Dec 2023

A Technological Breakthrough to Adhere to Emissions Regulations in the U.S.

Leading technology company Moldtech has supplied two fully updated units to a prominent company in Florida.

"The Giraffe," Moldtech's self-propelled vehicle, emerges as a practical solution for the transportation and pouring of concrete in precast plants without the need for an overhead crane.

This versatile and efficient product stands out for its technical features and its ability to adapt to the changing demands of the market.

What sets these units apart is their compliance with the new U.S. legislation on diesel engine emissions EUR V, showcasing Moldtech's ability to adapt to the most demanding safety and sustainability standards.

The new legislation established strict limits for nitrogen oxides (NOx) and diesel particle emissions, aiming to reduce environmental impact and improve air quality.

The vehicle features front hydraulic steering, a 3 m³ transport hopper, a travel speed of up to 10 km/h, and a powerful 70 kW engine. Additionally, "The Giraffe" complies with safety regulations by including a parking brake system and hydraulic system cooling through a radiator.

Innovation in the Concrete Pouring Process

The 4-meter discharge chute incorporates a system that propels concrete toward the pouring mouth, characterized by a guillotine-type closure. The working angle of the chute ranges from the horizontal plane to a 17° elevation, allowing adaptability to a wide variety of molds and equipment.

Ease of operation and operator safety are paramount in "The Giraffe." Its intuitive control system allows the operator to precisely and safely direct all vehicle movements.

International Deployment of "The Giraffe"

This revolutionary vehicle is already in operation in Moldtech's precast industrial plants worldwide, including locations such as Medellín (Colombia), Brasov (Romania), the Philippines, Pitesti (Romania), Portugal, Miami (United States), Guinea Conakry, Cluj-Napoca (Romania), Bucharest (Romania), among others.

Having a concrete transport and pouring system in a single machine not only reduces equipment investment and personnel costs but also provides exceptional flexibility and adaptability in precast plants.

INWARD TRADE MISSION 2025, 1 - 5 DECEMBER

The main objective and purpose of the reverse mission is to showcase to the invited companies the wide range of Spanish construction and mining machinery, as well as to present their production processes, with the aim of facilitating distribution agreements between Spanish and foreign companies.

As part of the activity, B2B meetings will be prioritized, along with occasional factory visits, provided time and logistical constraints allow.

With this approach, we aim to achieve greater impact for all parties involved by offering foreign companies the opportunity to hold as many meetings and establish as many contacts as possible with Spanish companies.
