Now with a total of 16  models, it is the largest model range in the sub-4.5 t (-9,000 lbs.)   weight category on the market.     of continuously acting static  load and changing dynamic  shear forces in the material  brings about a faster, better  and more gentle compaction.  Moreover the amplitude and  in turn the compaction  power adapt automatically to  the stiffness present. Hamm  achieves this effect without  electronics, but through  intelligent application of the  laws of physics.  Wide application  spectrum for oscillatory  rollers  The new Hamm rollers with  one oscillatory and one  vibratory drum undoubtedly  increase compaction speed  and quality. Applications can  be found in urban centres for  example. The reason:  oscillation drums can compact  dynamically even on narrow  construction sites, because  this compaction technology  does not disturb buildings or    pipework below the road  surface through vibration. Oscillation also optimises  compaction at joints to  existing road surfaces,  because it does not damage  the cold asphalt. So the  compaction on small jobsites  will be more effective than  before when using oscillatory  rollers.  During the compaction of thin  layers on tack coat or spray  seal, the high compaction  speed makes a noticeable  improvement. A further plus  point in favour of oscillatory  rollers is that they also work  very efficiently on cooled  asphalt. Last but not least, oscillatory  compaction also optimises  many landscaping  applications. Water-bound  path surfaces or asphalt cycle  paths can be compacted  significantly more efficiently  with the new rollers then  heretofore.   New 1 m (3.5  ft)-machine: the HD 10C  VT combi roller  Another CONEXPO first is the  HD 10C VT, the smallest combi  roller in the CompactLine with  a working width of 1.06 m (3.5  ft.) and operating weight of 1.5  t (3,500 lbs.). It comes with  permanent all-wheel drive as  standard. This distinguishes it    New: four models with  oscillatory rollers  Thirty years after Hamm  built the first oscillatory  rollers, this intelligent  technology is now making its  debut in the sub-4.5 t (-9,000  lbs.) weight class at Hamm.  A total of four models with  Oscillation technology are  available, identifiable by an  “O” in the name: HD 10 VO  (2.6 t / 5,500 lbs), HD 12 VO  (2.8 t / 6,000 lbs.), HD 13 VO  (4.0 t / 8,800 lbs.) and HD 14  VO (4.4 t / 9,500 lbs.). All of  them are equipped with one  oscillatory and one vibratory  drum. The advantage of Oscillation:  It achieves a rapid increase  in compaction because the  oscillation drum directs  tangential thrusting forces  into the material to be  compacted while remaining  constantly in contact with  the ground. The combination    Bakheet Company in 90 Days | Newsletter   12     Drum lighting and  hinged scraper for more  quality and safety  Hamm has included an  extremely bright drum lighting  in its programme for the entire  CompactLine. The  environment-friendly LED  lighting brings good  illumination to the working  area. This is an important  quality and safety feature, as  the compact rollers frequently  work at the end of the roller  group in poorly illuminated  areas. Another new option for all  CompactLine models is the  spring loaded hinged scraper. It  keeps the drums clean while  compacting and can be hinged  out of the way by means of a  foot pedal for replacement or  cleaning – it couldn’t be easier!   from all other compact rollers  in this size and gives it  outstanding gradeability in all  situations.   New options: Drivers’  cab and chip spreader  Hamm has developed a  fully-enclosed driver’s cab for  the largest models in the  compact class, the HD 13 and  HD 14. The panoramic cabin  features full height glazing and  provides an outstanding  overview of the construction    13   site. Hamm has also thought  about many other niceties and  safety features: heating, radio,  screen wipers, four halogen  front headlights (H9) and two  rear spotlights are some of the  cab options.  With their own chip spreaders for  the CompactLine, Hamm offers a  perfect complement to the rollers  for repair work on motorways or  other heavily used roads. The  linear spreader has stepless  adjustment and is operated from  the driver’s seat. Its diffusion grill  produces a remarkably even  distribution pattern. The chip  spreader is available in two  spreading widths: 1 m (3.28 ft) /  200 l (53 gal) or 1.20 m (3.95 ft) /  240 l (63 gal). Mounting is easy  with a forklift truck and the  mounting point close to the  machine frame ensures a  favourable weight distribution.     square meter is the screen size of  the largest mobile screen from  Kleemann   tons of material per hour can be  crushed by the mobile jaw crushers  from Kleemann.   million tons per year is the  production of sand and gravel in  Saudi Arabia     LITTLE BIT SLOW PUMP DOWN  BOOM RIGHT BOOM LEFT  BOOM DOWN BOOM UP  Elbow raised, hand at face level, thumb  and finger together   form a pinch.

In an effort to develop  the Gulf markets, TWS  appointed a dedicated Gulf  Region Sales Manager, in  August 2013, to facilitate the  additional growth and provide  a dedicated line of support for  both the TWS distributor  network and customers. The  five dedicated distributors are  located in Saudi Arabia,  Bahrain, Oman, UAE and  Qatar, who have committed  team members focusing in  washing, each with extensive  knowledge, expertise and    service capabilities in washing  solutions.  The dealers and  customers in these regions are  further supported by the TWS  dedicated engineering and  aftersales technicians.  To date TWS have installed a  number of static, modular and  mobile plants in the Gulf  region, which are successfully  processing crushed quarry  stone to produce high quality  sand, typically sized 0-5, 5-12,  12-22 mm. The most popular    concepts to date have been the  Finesmaster Compact and  Bucketwheel ranges, both  unique sand plants, ideally  suited for single and double  grade sand applications. Both  ranges are particularly suited to  high wearing abrasive sands as  the buckets reduce wear on the  rubber lined centrifugal pump  and in the case of the  Finesmaster, reduces wear on  the cyclones.

When Bakheet sees something  that can be improved upon to  give the company a  competitive edge or the  opportunity to join forces,  there is no delay in taking  action.  Perhaps it is the competitive  edge that led to Bakheet  joining forces with SCHWING  to be the first company to  bring con-crete pump  technology to the Kingdom of  Saudi Arabia. SCHWING, a  German-based company, has  been using technology to  make products for the  construction industry for  nearly 80 years. Having  already established a name for  itself as an innovative thinker  and manufacturer in the  development and    manufacture of concrete  construction equipment, in  1957 the first oil-hydraulic  twin-cylinder pump was  presented by founder  Friedrich Wilhelm Schwing.  That design principle,  SCHWING-Stetter says “is  still today the standard  worldwide.” Another  company, Stetter, was also  manufacturing concrete  construction equipment  advances when it made the  first ready-mix concrete with  the first truck mixer in 1964.

SCHWING concrete pumps  offer timely completion of  projects with precision and  relatively low operational  costs. The truck-mounted  concrete pumps have a  vertical reach range of 24m to  61m, and stationary pumps  that can pump as much as  165m3 of concrete per hour.  These features make the  concrete pumps the ideal   choice for any high-rise   building project.

The  SCHWING concrete pumps  have been involved in  numerous major construction  projects in Saudi Arabia,  including pumps that are  being used in the expansion of   holy sites of Harmain   Al-Sharifain. SCHWING has   the vertical and horizontal   distance pumping for such   a major project as this and   many more. SCHWING   equipment was utilised in    manufacture of the first  truck-mounted concrete pump  on the market in 1965 which  was completed by a concrete  placing boom in 1968.

In 2007, SCHWING  introduced a new line of  equipment, which included  several new concrete pumps,  offering maximum range and  flexibility. The new line was  meant to “cater to a diverse  range of customer  requirements.”  SCHWING continued  making strides ahead of  their time throughout the  late 1970s into the 1980s,  and by 1982 SCHWING took  over Stetter.  1984 SCHWING Stetter  assigned Bakheet as exclusive  dealer in Saudi Arabia, which  made the two companies even  more recognized as leaders  in the construction  equipment  industry as  they introduced  the first  concrete pump  into the kingdom.    the project of the Makkah  Clock Royal Tower, Mecca,  Saudi Arabia, the second  largest building in the world,  601 m, and other large-scale  construc-tion projects.  SCHWING also actively  engages in the ecological  recycling of concrete and  continuously strives to  improve upon its equipment. Regarding SCHWING  concrete pumps, Bakheet  Company for Machinery says  that there is no better  alternative than a SCHWING  pump. Sheikh Mohammed  Alrifai says that at Bak-heet,  “we believe that we should act  as an extension of the  manufacturer, introducing  products according to our  partners’ guidelines “and this  commitment serves to increase  our trust-worthiness amongst  local customers.”   Bakheet Company in 90 Days | Newsletter     Our Advertisments  For 2nd Quarter of 2014   April 2014 May 2014  April 2014  May 2014   24   June 2014     DESIGNED FOR HARD WORK ﻕﺎـﺷـﻟﺍ ﻝـﻣﻌـﻠﻟ ﺕـﻣﻣﺻ   ROAD AND MINERAL TECHNOLOGIES  www.bakheet.com.sa     Jeddah Branch  Al Haramain Expressway  P.O.Box 6101, Jeddah 21442  Tel: +966 12 691 0550  Fax: +966 12 691 0288   Khurais Road, Al Nahda District   P.O.Box 6182, Riyadh 11442   Tel: +966 11 232 8822   Fax: +966 11 232 0031   Riyadh Branch   Dahran - Jubail Expressway  P.O.Box 2283, Dammam 31451  Tel: +966 13 808 9208    Dammam Branch   Abha Branch  Abha Road, P.O.Box 50771,  Khamis Mushait 61311   Tel: +966 17 227 3535   Fax: +966 17 227 3071   Airport Road  P.O.Box 2897, Madina 41461   Tel: +966 14 842 1848    Fax: +966 14 842 1848 Ext.106   Madina Branch   King Abdulaziz Road - Beridah  Tel: +966 16 326 2807   Fax: +966 16 326 2517   Qassim Branch   Tabuk Branch  Thalatheen Street  Tel: +966 14 422 7565   Fax: +966 14 422 2080   Abha - Jazan Road  Tel: +966 17 323 0455   Fax: +966 17 323 0456   Jazan Branch   Al Zahir District,  Al Hajj Street  Tel: +966 12 560 2150   Makkah Branch   Al Ahssa Branch  Ali-Riyad Old street,  Al- Mubarraz Municipality  Tel: +966 13 5828807 Tel: +966 13 5828814   AL QASIM  ABHA   DAMMAM  MEDINA   TABUK   RIYADH  JEDDAH  JAZAN   AL AHSA  MECCA
