The world’s leading trade fair for construction machinery, building material machines, mining machines, construction vehicles and construction equipment returns this month to Munich, Germany, after a strategic six-month delay due to the COVID-19 pandemic and ongoing travel and logistics concerns. While bauma typically takes place in April every three years, this year’s return of the mega-sized convention spans Oct. 24-30, 2022.
Whether you’re attending the 33rd bauma tradeshow in Munich in person or virtually tuning in from the United States, there are many familiar construction and mining machinery and equipment companies showcasing innovative, new products at bauma this October. Here are the products and innovations to check out and consider the last week of the month, either at the corresponding Trade Fair Center Messe Munchen booths or among these pages:
Aquajet
Aquajet will showcase its full line of Hydrodemolition robots at booth A1.325 at bauma 2022 in Munich Germany. View the new Aqua Cutter 750V with patented Infinity oscillation along with the Aqua Cutter 410A, Aqua Cutter 410V and Ergo compact Hydrodemolition robot. The company will also highlight several accessories that increase versatility.
Aquajet’s newest Hydrodemolition robot is the Aqua Cutter 750V. The robot features a new oscillation pattern that is the first of its kind and moves the water jet in an infinity – or figure 8 – pattern. This allows the robot to remove more concrete in a single pass while reducing shadowing, eliminating the risk of pipe holes and providing a suitable bonding surface. The new 750V also features the next generation Evolution 3.0 Control System that includes new functions, including the ability to automatically calculate optimal settings for lance motion for greater precision and efficiency. Like all Aqua Cutter Robots, the 750V cleans and descales rebar without causing microfracturing, according to Aquajet. It also should maintain horizontal, vertical and overhead reach, making it suitable for a wide variety of concrete removal tasks, such as renovation and bridge and road repair.
BKT Tires
BKT Tires will showcase three of its “giant tires” at bauma. The first is EARTHMAX SR 468, the largest tire ever made by BKT, launched on the market in 2021. It is designed for rigid dump trucks and exhibited in size 40.00 R 57 corresponding to a height of 3.5 meters, a width of 1.13 meters and a weight of 3,800 kg.
The second and third Giant tires are two sizes of the EARTHMAX SR 46. Displayed in sizes 27.00 R 49 and 33.00 R 51, the EARTHMAX SR 46 tires are designed for rigid dump trucks. The 33.00 R 51 size is equivalent to a diameter of over three meters or precisely 3,061 mm, a width of 905 and a weight of 2,400 kg, while the 27.00 R 49 has a diameter of exactly 2,688 mm and a width of 746.
Suitable for operations on rocky and harsh terrains, this type of tire is particularly resistant to impacts and punctures thanks to the All Steel structure that provides resistance to the casing. In addition, the E-4 tread depth offers extreme resistance in severe conditions. Finally, its specially designed tread pattern and the tread compound have been specifically developed to reduce the heat generation during this type of extreme applications.
Bobcat
Bobcat will showcase its new T86 and S86 loaders, the most powerful compact loaders the company has built so far. It will also preview the conceptual T7X, the world’s first all-electric compact track loader and the conceptual E35 Operate by Wire Mini Excavator, one of the company’s heaviest excavators yet.
Caterpillar
Caterpillar Cat construction equipment will be displayed by Cat’s German dealer Zeppelin inside and outside Hall B6. Under the theme “Let’s Do The Work,” the exhibit will include more than the typical construction equipment to illustrate Caterpillar’s range of technology, services and sustainability solutions.
