Our new bucket wheel is the innovative solution for collecting fresh concrete or dirty water directly from the ground at ground level and reliably feeding it into your fresh concrete recycling plant—even in places where conventional recycling plants can no longer cope.
With the bucket wheel, AJF offers a powerful, flexible, and cost-effective solution for collecting concrete-water mixtures close to the ground. Direct transfer to recycling plants increases efficiency, reduces losses, and makes logistics more sustainable and profitable.
Maximum material capacity directly at floor level
No need for a complex process to lower the recycling plant into the ground
Flexibility & Compatibility
Features
Maximum material capacity directly at floor level
Since concrete pump trucks can usually only discharge residual concrete about 30 cm above the ground, valuable concrete residues are often left unused. Our bucket wheel collects this concrete and wash water directly from the ground, ensuring that nearly all of it is returned to the recycling process. The concrete- and water-saturated material is then transferred to the recycling plant in a controlled manner.
No need for a complex process to lower the recycling plant into the ground
Because the bucket wheel is integrated, there is no need to lower these recycling systems into the ground. This eliminates the need for costly foundation work, which significantly reduces the overall investment. Furthermore, with lowered screw conveyors or horizontal systems, there is always the problem of rainwater flooding the lowered area. The unpleasant consequences include the time-consuming task of pumping out water and contamination of the work area. Time-consuming maintenance of this area is completely eliminated.
Flexibility & Compatibility
The bucket wheel not only functions as a standalone solution, but can also be easily integrated into any existing AJF fresh concrete recycling plant. This allows you to respond flexibly to the varying requirements of the installation site. The bucket wheel’s independent drive ensures a high degree of flexibility. Unlike bucket wheels mounted on the main drive shaft, the AJF bucket wheel is activated only when needed. This not only minimizes wear but also reduces energy consumption.
Technical Details
Extremely easy to use thanks to low-level suction
The fresh concrete is discharged onto a large, steeply sloped table that is integrated into the floor and backfilled with concrete. This allows not only leftover concrete but also wash water from the mixing plant or casting tables at the precast plant to be easily recycled.
Robust construction and long service life thanks to a galvanized base assembly
High-quality, wear-resistant components ensure a long service life and high reliability, even under demanding construction site conditions. The lower section of the bucket wheel is galvanized, which prevents corrosion and underscores the high quality of the design.
Universal connectivity and docking capability with its own drive system
The bucket wheel can be operated as a standalone unit and flexibly adapted to various AJF recycling and conveying systems. The separate electric motor activates the bucket wheel only when needed. The conveyed material is transferred cleanly and in compliance with the Machinery Directive to the RCS recycling screw or the RT washing drum.
