Hillhead 2024

ConSpare work with customers to improve concrete batching plants through high-performance equipment, spare parts and site services. Established in 1978 as a mixer maintenance specialist, we have evolved to become a key problem-solving partner across the production process.

At Hillhead, we continue to highlight our drive to help make plants and production more sustainable, while also shining a light on how batch plant equipment selection and maintenance decisions have a positive impact on the welfare of site staff.

We’ll be demonstrating how we solve batch plant problems, from the start of the process to the finish. We have displays from across our product range, a number of which revolve around mixing, conveyor improvement, wear & flow linings, silo components, moisture measurement, truck mixer cleaning, and much more…

The TEKA THT is a mixing revolution. The unique MixTurbine design is optimised for use with the highest standard premium concretes and the most difficult mixing tasks. The sweep of the MixTurbine generates a swing and throw effect, resulting in high intensity mixing with very little energy wasted ‘outside’ of the mixing process. THT is highly flexible, perfect for variable batch sizes and regular changes of product.

On-stand at Hillhead 2024 will be a TEKA THT type E-1-3 mixer. The machine is a 750 litre (0.5m³ concrete output) version, with 30kW electric motor and 3kW hydraulic drive. It features a single MixTurbine and tungsten-carbide coated discharge scraper. The mixer is currently configured in “show spec”, showcasing multiple wear plate options, a Walter RD3 mixer washout cleaning head, and a Hydronix Hydro-Mix probe.

Alongside our silo components displays, we will have the new WAM SILOTOP® polyTUBE™ silo venting filter.

Specifically designed for concrete batching plants, this new filter gives excellent performance and is smaller, quieter, lighter, has fewer parts and has substantially lower running costs.

WAM SILOTOP® polyTUBE™ is extremely energy efficient. The filter cartridges are cleaned using pulse mechanical cleaning instead of the traditional method of reverse-jet cleaning, eliminating the use of compressed air. Compressed air requires large amounts of electricity, and this electricity is responsible for significant financial costs and CO2 emissions.

Walter CleverSwitch – Reducing fresh water usage by up to 80%

Debuting at Hillhead 2024, this latest development opens the opportunity to use settled recycled (grey) water within the automated cleaning cycle of a Walter Mixer Washout System. The system can utilise the recycled water available on-site without comprising performance or service-life of the washout.

When used with a typical Walter Mixer Washout System on a standard automated wash cycle, the CleverSwitch will use 800 litres of recycled water and only 200 litres of fresh water – a fresh water saving of 80%.

Conveyors are often considered one of the biggest problem areas on a plant, with high risk maintenance and time-consuming cleaning a constant requirement. A co-ordinated approach to solving belt cleaning, tracking and loading problems will significantly help to keep downtime, waste and risk to a minimum.

We’re home to the renowned range of conveyor belt cleaners from STARCLEAN®, alongside Centrax belt trackers, SealTek sealing systems and FRIFLO impact beds. Join us on stand to speak to the Bulk Materials Handling team and see the equipment in action.
