Intelligent technology and constructive dialogue – Putzmeister Open House
KMANN
BRIN
On 13 September, Putzmeister organised a celebration in the company
of around 130 sales partners from
Europe, the Middle East, Australia,
Russia, Turkey and Asia. 45 years of
Brinkmann Estrich Boy, 55 years of
Putzmeister mortar machines and interesting new product presentations
were reason enough to accept the
invitation to Open House 2013.
During a tour of the factory, the sales
partners had the opportunity to witness
Putzmeister mortar machines in operation.
Like last year, the tour included a visit to the
high-bay warehouse, staff offices and the
production hall with four production lines for
pneumatic conveyors, piston pumps, worm
pumps and mixer pumps.
The machines on the testing and training
ground were another point of interest. An EC
450 Estrich Boy with electric motor, the entire machine portfolio for self levelling floor
screed applications as well as the P 715
pist­on pump and both FHS 200 and SP 11
BHF worm pumps were also on show.
Various tests demonstrated the impressive
strengths of the machines. Putzmeister
Concrete Pumps also provided an interesting insight into the painting centre and
Efficient mixing technology for almost
every construction site: the compact
CM 15 continuous mixer
Telebelt 200 mobile belt conveyor. The After
Sales & Parts Service presented their sales
and support systems.
A host of new products
To commemorate the 45th birthday of the
Estrich Boy, one of the leading models in
Europe, Putzmeister has launched a limited
edition as a thank you to its customers.
Special features include an attractive painted
finish, working lights for illuminating the
construction site, a solid guard bracket that
prevents damage to the machine, a robust
rotary discharge stand and the patented
Brinkmann automatic lid with automatic
venting feature for efficient working progress.
In addition to these highlights, Putzmeister
presented a wide range of innovations on
pneumatic conveyors from the Mixokret
range. In the future, these will also be integrated in new products.
The new SP 11 TMR plastering
machine generates impressive
power
The new SP 11 TMR
The new SP 11 TMR plastering machine with
a powerful 4-cylinder engine is also impressive. Equipped with the largest hopper and
mixer available on the market, it processes
premixed dry mortar and site mixes.
Continuous mixer CM 15
The compact CM 15 continuous mixer was
also presented. It incorporates efficient mixing technology for almost any construction
site. It homogeneously mixes ready-mix dry
mortar such as internal and external plaster,
cement and reinforcement mortar, finishing

plaster with a grain size of 4 mm. Extremely
practical: the new detachable 230 volt connection.
Sociable end
The main focus of every Putzmeister Open
House is the social event where Putzmeister
staff have the opportunity of meeting both
new and returning guests. The conclusion to
an eventful day in a wine village atmosphere
was extremely cosy. The visitors enjoyed
new wine, onion tart and stimulating conversation with a backdrop of pleasant background music.
Fine concrete pump P 715 TD stabilises slopes
during the construction of a road in Oman
The compact P 715 TD is currently
demonstrating its outstanding versatility
during the construction of a section of
road between Bidbid and Sur. The piston
pump is currently being used to pump
shotcrete for stabilising the slopes on
either side of a road that passes through
the rough mountain landscape in the
east of the Sultanate of Oman.
The inland desert Dschiddat al-Harasis
covers most of the central part of Oman.
Towards the coast in the northeast, the
desert is hemmed in by a barren mountain
range with peaks reaching up to 3,000 m in
height, which is exactly where the 35 km is
being constructed. It forms part of the important road between the capital Maskat and
the southeast section of the coast. Where
economically feasible, tunnels will be constructed to overcome the mountain range.
In other places, the slopes will be blasted
away and then stabilised to prevent landslides.
Following many positive experiences with
the P 715 TD from Putzmeister, the company
Özkar Construction L.L.C. decided to
purchase another fine concrete pump of the
same model to stabilise the slopes using
shotcrete.
Slopes as high as 20 m and a rugged
landscape provide a stern challenge for the
robust piston pump from Putzmeister. The
combination of outdoor temperatures of
approx. 40 °C and 90 m of hose between the
pump and shotcrete nozzle are equally as
demanding. The concrete consistency had
to be adapted precisely to the pump and
external conditions to ensure that the mater­
ial remains pumpable and does not harden.
A Putzmeister engineer was present on site
to provide support. He conducted a series
of delivery tests with and without fibre admixtures under real conditions to determine
the right concrete formulas and make sure
the concrete could be pumped over the long
distances involved. It was also possible
to adapt sections of the hose based on the
results of the tests. Reductions at the end of
the line usually caused the most problems.
The transition from an inner diameter 65 mm
to 50 mm, for example, poses a risk of blockages. The Putzmeister specialist also gave
exact instructions on how to start pumping
again following an interruption in operation
using cement sludge with a homogeneous,
viscous consistence and a sponge ball.
The P 715 TD trailer-mounted fine concrete
pump is compact and lightweight, which
makes it easy to transport and manoeuvre.
The powerful 2-cylinder piston pump generates up to 68 bar pumping pressure and a
maximum output of 17.4 m3/h.
Versatility is the main strength of this pump.
Not is it only ideal for shotcreting, but also
for pumping anhydrite, cement and cementrite self levelling floor screed, fine grained
concrete with a grain size of 16 mm and for
grouting work.
The Trans Mix in action during Denmark's most
extensive hotel renovation
The Hotel D'Angleterre in the centre of
Copenhagen reopened its doors in the
middle of 2013, after being closed for
almost two years following a complete
renovation. More than 90 rooms were refurbished to the highest quality standards.
With planned rebuilding costs of more
than € 150 million, the hotel restoration
project is the most expensive in Denmark.
The ambitious aim to complete the works
within two years was also challenging for
the tradesmen and planners involved.
One of the most complex tasks was laying
the new floor. The site management chose
the company Lodbyg to do this. With its
advantages suited to this particular construction site, Trans Mix technology was
able to impress all decision-makers.
The construction site was located in a compact area of the city, which meant there was
little room to set up or manoeuvre the
machines. In some cases, it was necessary
to work from newly designed sites. Thanks
to its small platform, the Trans Mix was the
perfect choice. Torben Hansen, the driver of
the tractor unit, even brought the required
materials to the construction site in the
Trans Mix – no additional delivery vehicles
were required. And once the works were
complete, the construction site was cleaned
and tidied up.
The Trans Mix was also responsible for the
floor insulation and levelling with the RiBA
Plan polystyrene system. 4,000 m2 of floor
was refurbished. The Trans Mix is supplied
with blowing-in equipment for polystyrene.
It was reloaded at the construction site and it
was possible to work almost continuously.
It was as though the RiBa-plan material had
been made specially for the Hotel D'Angle­
terre construction site. Good insulating and
levelling properties, as well as quick processing, were important criteria.
Owner Leif Hansen demonstrated that he
has a good nose for buying when he chose
the Trans Mix. This machine helped him in
his task of renovating the Hotel D'Angleterre
and made it possible to handle the con­
struct­ion project quickly.

Large delivery ranges and quantities, small
space requirements and a clean procedure
clearly demonstrate the capabilities of the
Trans Mix.
Anniversary at Putzmeister:
45 years of Estrich Boy – The innovative classic!
Putzmeister has reason to celebrate:
the first Estrich Boy was launched
onto the market in 1968 and exactly
45 years later, the success of the
durable pneumatic conveyor has
remained unbroken.
Putzmeister has launched a limited
edition Estrich Boy to mark this
anniversary.

1968 – a year representative of a series of
renewal processes when the first marketready pneumatic conveyor for transporting
and placing screed was launched - the

of
that was quieter than the diesel engine
model. In 1983, the first model with 4 cylinders became available on the market. In the
years that followed, other innovations such
as the Trans-Mix system, the first "screed
factory on wheels", revolutionised the
screed industry.
For more than 45 years, Brinkmann, the
company derived from Putzmeister, contin­
uously developed the Estrich Boy together
with its customers . It is therefore no surprise that the Estrich Boy is one of the leading screed conveyors in Europe and is very
popular in Russia and Turkey.
The recipe for success is simple: "We listen
to our customers", says Markus Frasch,
Product Manager at Putzmeister
Mörtelmaschinen. This goes a long way to
explaining why the Estrich Boy continues to
set the standards in terms of user friendliness and technical innovation. The company has always attached great import­
ance to providing a host of adaptation and
configuration options to create the right
solution for every construction site!
It keeps on running: Putzmeister
plastering machine from 1964
Business partners Frank Weerts and
Reinhard Koch, a bricklayer and concrete worker, made a rare discovery
in Ihausen (Westerstede) in north­west Lower Saxony: a legendary
PKM built in 1964 – the oldest intact
Putzmeister plastering machine in
existence according to present
knowledge!
Since a major overhaul, the lucky
finders have been using the machine
for their daily work.
1964 – a historical year when Willi Brandt
was elected as chairman of the SPD party
and candidate for German Chancellor, and
Cassius Clay aka Muhammad Ali contested
the world heavyweight boxing title. It was
also the manufacturing year of a machine
that Putzmeister founder Karl Schlecht
developed himself – a PKM piston mortar
machine with diesel engine and integral
trap mixer. The model preceded the equally
successful P13 piston pump.
Much later in 2011, Frank Weerts and
Reinhard Koch stumbled across the vintage
Putzmeister machine by chance in a shed in
Westerstede. The two contractors, who have
run their mason and concrete construction
companies in close cooperation for 16 years,
were lucky on two counts. Firstly, Reinhard
Koch had previously already worked with the
PKM and had secretly been in search of a
similar machine ever since. Secondly, the
probability of making such a find is extremely low because these rarities are
usually discovered in Eastern Europe.
Weerts and Koch purchased the machine
from the owner on the spur of the moment
and brought it to the nearest Putzmeister
dealer and service partner Klarmann Bauund Landmaschinen GmbH for renovation.
Even the most experienced mechanics
had never seen such a rare machine, yet
welcomed a change from the usual models.
An independent brand and company in
the Putzmeister Group since 2012 and
in majority ownership since 2002,
Brinkmann has launched a limited
edition Estrich Boy in the anniversary
year as a thank you to its customers.

This special edition is a culmination
of decades of experience from engin­
eers and knowledge of construction
site requirements for screed layers.
Special features include a 45th anniversary painted finish and an automatic lid developed and patented by Brinkmann, which starts
and stops the conveying process
without operator intervention and
vents the mixing vessel automatically. The Estrich Boy is also
equipped with a mobile working
light, hard-wearing guard
brackets and a durable discharge stand.

Since then, the PKM has been used every
day and according to the owners and their
employees, it runs like a "Swiss timepiece"
and could continue to do so for another
50 years as a result of the careful mainten­
ance.
The PKM mortar machine combines durability with simple technology from today's
perspective in the usual Putzmeister quality.
The diesel version of the machine is most
practical in rural areas because it operates
independently of a power supply. Extremely
reliable, it is ideal for any kind of masonry or
plastering work.
Accessories for professionals:
The discharge stand system for screed layers
The adapter attached to the discharge stand
can be replaced and is compatible with all
hose couplings with a nominal diameter
of 50, 65 or 89. This system allows you to
connect the hose on your Estrich Boy or
Mixokret screed conveyor to the placement
site with just a few hand movements.

Discharge stands made from aluminium or steel with a skid or tripod configuration – a variety of versions for
different requirements.
Putzmeister developed the patented
discharge stand system to combine
versatility with the advantages of a
flexible, efficient and easy to install
coupling system.
Compared to conventional discharge stands
with rotating sleeve, the system is more efficient and avoids leaky couplings. A pin system locks the hose in position, which makes
it simple to install and disassemble as well
as easy to clean.
