29.03.2011	Another four Putzmeister truck-mounted concrete pumps for Fukushima
	A few days ago, the Japanese operator decided to use another four Putzmeister machines at the damaged reactor blocks in Fukushima: Two 62-metre-high machines with 6 arms (M 62-6) and two 70-metre-high machines (M 70-5). All the machines are from Germany. The two 70-metre pumps are to be taken from construction sites in the USA. The first machine will probably be flown from Stuttgart to Japan on 31.03 in an Antonov wide-bodied aircraft, and the other machines will be flown in during the following days. Initially, they will probably pump water; later they will be used for any necessary concreting work.

23.03.2011	Putzmeister truck-mounted concrete pump is used to cool Fukushima
	At the reactor in Fukushima, workers are currently using an M 58-5 truck-mounted concrete pump (produced in Aichtal near Stuttgart) that has a vertical reach of 58 m and a 5-arm boom in order to support the cooling of the damaged cooling pools. The advantage of this is that cooling water can be fed a great distance over the destroyed buildings and can be fed to exactly where it is required.

29.03.2010	New double-walled pipes (130 bar) with service life up to 5 times longer
	For the first time, "The Pumas" concrete pump team used ZX couplings on dual-layer pipelines resistant to pressures of 130 bar to deliver concrete to the basement, the main building and the two towers at Tower 185 in Frankfurt. Double-walled delivery lines have already been being used on PM truck-mounted concrete pumps for a long time to extend the service life and thereby reduce conversion costs and downtimes, but only in a version limited to 85 bar pressure.

08.10.2009	Growing within its niche - the Roline pump concept
	Anyone driving onto the Thomas Catherin Transport sarl yard in Montluel near Lyon will look across to the fleet of around 15 closely parked lorries belonging to the small haulage and pumping service provider. The office and materials store of the family firm are housed in containers. Jean Marc Catherin, who built up the company on his own initiative, tells us in his quiet, friendly manner why he changed from the PUMI two years ago to become the first in France to invest in a Roline concrete pump.

05.12.2008	Pumping ultra high strength concrete (200 N/mm²)
	Insightful tests were successfully completed in the Korean capital Seoul, which caused clients, architects, building companies and concrete pump operators to listen attentively with regard to future construction projects. With the support of a local pump operator and the Putzmeister subsidiary PM Korea, ultra high strength concrete (UHSC) was conveyed using a BSA 14000 HP-D stationary high pressure concrete pump, and all relevant measuring data was recorded and analysed.
