Trade Journals for the Concrete Industry

Currently in Panama there is an extensive construction project happening that will expand the Panama Canal to give it the ability to handle “Post Panamax Vessels.” Simem SPA, located in Minerbe (VR) Italy, has supplied two twin concrete batching and mixing plants, as well as other related equipment. With one plant located in Panama City and the other in Colon, together they will produce more than 5 million cubic meters of concrete in approximately 30 months. Each plant has an output of 720 cubic meters per hour, with a cycle time of 80 seconds per mixer.
