Argonics, Inc.
Providing a remedy for delamination in mixer drums, the company announces that a departure from standard manufacturing procedure has resulted in a new single-pour urethane liner called Kryptane Evolution. The liner carries a five-year or 1 million-yard warranty. If any section of the liner delaminates within the given time frame, it will be replaced free of charge.

Avoiding the typical process by which liners for central batch plant mixers are fabricated, i.e., pouring the liner in layers that may separate as moisture and other contaminants seep between them, the manufacturer aims to prevent premature liner replacement due to delamination. Changing the liner before the end of its life expectancy entails costs in down time, lost production, and labor, the company emphasizes. Accordingly, the new liner is said to offer reduced labor requirements and cost per cubic yard of material produced.

Company officials note that its offerings in Las Vegas highlight innovation and a commitment to green building.

Total Solution for Self-Consolidating Concrete offers an advanced approach to the production of highly flowable, self-leveling concrete, the company asserts. The solution features ADVA Cast 575, polycarboxylate-based, high-range water-reducing admixture for SCC in precast/prestressed applications. It also incorporates the Mix Proportioning System, a proprietary technology that enables field personnel to custom design SCC mixes to suit specific materials at given facilities.

AdiaCal and IsoCal field calorimeters are user-friendly portable devices that offer concrete producers reliable daily quality control, company representatives note. AdiaCal enables operators to sample concrete directly from the mixer or batch plant for mix-design efficiency and to track raw material variability. IsoCal is an isothermal calorimeter suitable for more sophisticated operators and lab environments. It allows for temperature control, therefore enabling in-depth interpretation of data at a greater level of precision.

Building Green With Grace is a new guide highlighting the company's commitment to green building initiatives. In addition, a new section launched at the company's website is dedicated to green building products and practices. Both the guide and interactive web site help architects and specifiers select products that achieve prerequisites and points needed to satisfy Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System criteria.

Indiana Phoenix, Inc.
The Standard Glider Program will be offered along with two new programs featuring a one-year guarantee. Customers furnish a donor truck, and the manufacturer disassembles the vehicle and retrieves all usable components to build a Front Discharge Glider Truck. Donor parts are inspected for defects, steam cleaned, sand blasted, and painted before assembly. The Glider Truck features an ergonomic cab and heat-treated frame rails.

The recently introduced Certified Glider Program allows customers to purchase a donor truck from another company--Indiana Phoenix has donor resources--in order to keep their own trucks in service. After disassembling the donor truck, the company reconditions the engine, transmission, rear tandem axle, front steer axle, transfer case, drum drive, and hydrostatic pump and motor. A Certified Glider is built using those certified components, the manufacturer notes, and customers receive a truck fully warranted for one year at a reported savings up to 30 percent of the cost of a new mixer truck.

Similar to the Certified Glider, the second new offering--the Super Glider Program--adds factory-warranted remanufactured Cummins pre-emission engines and factory-warranted remanufactured Allison transmissions. Essentially, customers obtain a like-new truck with a one-year warranty and significant savings, the company affirms. Additionally, trade-ins on trucks or gliders are now accepted.

Komatsu America Corp.
Replacing the WA200-5, the WA200-6 wheel loader is powered by an EPA Tier 3 emissions-certified Komatsu SAA4D107E-1 engine of 126 net hp, which reportedly provides high productivity with low fuel consumption and minimal noise. The new model has a 23,160- to 23,457-lb. operating weight and 2.2- to 3.1-cu.-yd heaped bucket capacity. Latest Komtrax technology sends machine-operating data, such as operating hours, location and maintenance alerts, to a secure website via wireless technology.

Additional manufacturer-cited features include: (1) hydrostatic transmission system for optimal efficiency, which allocates only as much power as needed for a given application and transmits it to differentials and the four driving wheels; (2) variable traction control, eliminating excessive bucket penetration and tire slippage, with 'S-mode' control of engine speed to provide optimum driving force on slippery surfaces; (3) maximum breakout force [20,944 lb.], high static tipping loads [21,363 lb. straight and 18,397 lb. at 40 degrees], plus greater dumping clearance and reach; (4) easy maintenance and serviceability, aided by a Komatsu EMMS Equipment Management Monitoring System that tracks all critical functions; and, (5) increased durability and reliability, largely due to wet multi-disc brakes and a fully hydraulic braking system, combined with dynamic braking that reduces wear on wet disc brakes.

Offering comparable benefits, the new WA250-6 wheel loader replaces the WA250-5. It has a 25,441- to 25,761-lb. operating weight and a heaped bucket capacity of 2.5 to 3.5 cu. yd. An EPA Tier 3 emissions-certified Komatsu SAA6D107E-1 engine of 138 net hp powers the machine. The WA250-6 has a 27,210-lb. breakout force and high static tipping loads [26,367 lb. straight and 23,204 lb. at a 40-degree full turn] to provide superior power and stability during operation, the manufacturer affirms.
