Zoomlion is very keen to emphasise the environmentally friendly green credentials of the product. "It represents the future of the industry," said Su Zimeng, secretary-general of
It is available as a tower, station or multi-step structure. The two-in-one system overcomes the problems of conventional mixing such as the inability to recycle resources, lack of sand resources and severe pollution. Zoomlion claim the two-in-one solution can reduce commercial mixing costs by $6.19/tonne and dry mortar costs by $3.10/tonne.
The introduction comes at a time that Zoomlion has moved to broaden its field of operations to include areas such as environmental protection and heavy duty trucks.
