High
Performance Percussion Rammers
|
 |
 |
MBW
approaches rammer development aggressively. We attack high maintenance
issues usually associated with this product type. The MBW delivery
system is the lowest friction, heat, and maintenance percussion unit in
the industry. Less friction, heat and wear in the delivery system
translates into lower continuous horsepower demands to keep the rammer
running. That means fewer engine problems and longer engine life.
Bellows failures are reduced by as much as 90% with MBW¹s custom
manufactured 4-ply, steel reinforced, vulcanized rubber bellows.
MBW addresses maintenance issues on throttle systems, tamping shoes,
fuel tanks, gearboxes, shock mounts, proper engine rpm, and we answer
the question as to when your service staff should perform routine
maintenance.
While MBW rammers are decidedly high performance, the thing that truly
separates our rammers from the competition is an unrelenting, aggressive
attack on the industry¹s outstanding problems with rammers.

Hardest Hitting, Longest Lasting Vibratory Plates
|
 |
|
 |
MBW
Vibratory Plates are designed for consistent compaction
performance. These plates are the longest lasting in the industry,
with unsurpassed exciter quality, including extra heavy duty
housings, precision-matched bearings, custom lubricants and
precision-ground ductile eccentric shafts. Additional high quality
features include aircraft-quality shock absorbers, custom-designed
centrifugal clutches and stress-relieved fabrications of premium
steel. Most models offer double isolated, reversible shock
absorbing handles. In vibratory plates, the performance leader is
MBW.

Rollers
|
 |
 |
MBW
has offered Vibratory Rollers of various types and sizes
since the early 1970s. In 2003, MBW takes a bold step. We are
discontinuing our walk-behind trench and general purpose rollers
in favor of our patented and unique roller designs that make so
much more sense for our customers. Why do EXA and ATS(P) designs
make more sense? There are 5 criterion by which rollers should be
judged:
1. Cost
EXA and ATS(P) rollers cost less than walk-behind models. The
difference can be as much as 70% less than a remote controlled
trench roller!
2. Maintenance
Walk-behind rollers, especially trench rollers, are among the
highest maintenance machinery in the construction industry.
Maintenance is so high that many equipment dealers have simply
gotten out of the walk-behind, remote control roller business.
EXAs and ATS(P)s are brutally simple machines. And they are built
to take the punishment. In fact, the ATS(P) is among MBW¹s lowest
maintenance products. The EXA¹s record is nearly as good,
although MBW recommends a yearly replacement of all shock mounts
due to the incredibly high compaction forces at work in these
units.
3. Productivity
Words fail to adequately describe productivity benefits. ATS(P)
models are 200 to 300% more productive than walk-behind units in
most applications. EXAs increase productivity by 500 to 600% over
trench rollers and can positively affect overall trenching
productivity by up to 15%!
4. Range of Application
EXAs in particular, enjoy a further and very significant advantage
in that they will effect good compaction on the full range of soil
types. The vibratory action of an EXA is an excellent fit for
granular and mixed soils. The static forces of an EXA (up to
30,000 lbs.) concentrate more compressive energy in a relatively
small footprint than any other soil compactor. The EXA handles all
soils, so users are relieved of the need to own multiple
compaction devices for varying soil conditions.
5. Operator Safety
The EXA keeps personnel out of the trench while the surrounding
soils are being backfilled, leveled, compressed and vibrated. The
EXA is the safest method of trench compaction. The ATS(P)
accomplishes a similar level of safety on above ground compaction
sites. The operator sits in the protected cab of a skid-steer
loader during the entire compaction operation.

Walk-Behind
Power Trowel
|
 |
MBW
Walk-Behind Power Trowels are the lowest maintenance and
longest lived power trowels available today. These rugged machines
now feature safety rings to protect an operator's hands or feet
from blade contact during operation. The safety rings are in
addition to MBW trowels' standard guard rings that also increase
safety as well as provide concentricity for maximum productivity
and even finishes.
Other
features include an over-built gear box with ground journal
bearings, one piece worm shaft, and heavy duty hub and flange; a
handle six inches longer than most competitors for greater
leverage; and the industry's strongest spider assembly with teflon-lined,
steel arm bore inserts that will not pound out. The blade arms are
milled for precise blade alignment to eliminate wobbling and
enable consistent finishes.
MBW
Power Trowel options offer a Blitzpitch blade tilting device;
custom blades (finish, combo or snap-on float); adjustable guard
ring for edging; and a heavy duty kit to increase overall weight.

When
MBW develops a new product, we look for deficiencies in product
already in the marketplace. Portable wet screeds suffered 4
serious shortcomings:
Mechanical
Wet screeds were prone to high maintenance, especially in
connection to drive mechanisms between the engine and exciter. The
ScreeDemon has no flex or rigid shaft connection. A simple,
durable, low cost rubber isolator drives the eccentric.
Functional
Most screed and screed bar combinations produce irregular
vibration along the length of the screed bar. Not only is the
concrete exposed to highly variable levels of vibration but cream
levels vary from spot to spot along the screed bar. The
back-to-back triangular construction of the ScreeDemon bar is
extremely rigid and minimizes variability in the transmission of
vibration.
Most Screeds bolt to their screed bars. Hardware threads are
compromised by the concrete and assembling or removing the screed
becomes such a problem that crews often don't disassemble for
cleaning or transport. The ScreeDemon simply clamps to the
specially designed bar. No holes to weaken the screed bar. No
threads to complicate assembly/disassembly. The ScreeDemon goes
together and comes apart in seconds.
Operator
Health & Safety
All wet screeds tested by MBW exposed operators to excessive
hand/arm vibration. The ScreeDemon's patent pending mount
retention method enables use of low durometer isolators without
loss of operator control. Hand/arm vibration is 50 to 90% lower
than competitive screeds.
Extra
rigid, double triangular, magnesium screed bar:

variability in vibration |
 | clamps
to ScreeDemon - no holes or hardware through bar |
 | is
attached or removed from screed in seconds for
cleaning/transport |

for offsetting of screed for working under protrusions |

MBW's
Slipform Paver is the concrete form machine that
creates small curbs and gutters at half the cost of large
units. On dirt or pavement, straight runs or tight radii,
flat or inclines, even drop pours, the Slipform Paver gets
the job done on schedule. This cost-effective machine is
