Trade Journals for the Concrete Industry

Lithonplus GmbH & Co KG is a renowned and leading manufacturer of concrete products in Germany. More than 600 employees work at a total of 18 locations. Following the commissioning of a new production line for customised special parts made from high-performance concrete at the Eggenstein-Leopoldshafen site (detailed report in CPI 2.2024), Lithonplus recently invested a double-digit million euro sum at the Kleinostheim site - with the ambitious goal of commissioning what it claims to be the world's most modern concrete products plant, which sets new stand- ards in terms of energy efficiency, innovation, employee friendliness and environmental friendliness. To replace two existing block making machines, a state-of-the-art block making plant was installed in Kleinostheim. The new plant was planned and realised in close cooperation with the selected main contractor, Rekers. The centrepiece of the new block making plant is the top model from Rekers, the RS 4 KV block making machine, with numerous newly developed innovative construction units and production options. The most striking feature is the 90° rotation of the coarse and face mix compared to the usual transport direction of the production boards.
