Bulgaria-based Tempo Trans EOOD has deployed its second concrete mixing plant from Ammann near the port city of Varna.
Tempo Trans EOOD supplies ready-mixed concrete to customers around the busy tourist region of the Black Sea where a lot of construction is taking place.
In 2018, Tempo Trans installed its first Ammann concrete mixing plant, type CBS 105 SL Elba. Due to the high concrete quality achieved with it the company says demand rose continuously and it threfore decieded to invest in a second plant in 2020 to increase production.
Tempo Trans EOOD is based in an industrial area near Varna Airport enabling it to easily supply ready-mixed concrete to the many construction sites along the Bulgarian coast.
Also close by was Elba Service EOOD, an established Ammann Elba dealer and service partner in Bulgaria for decades. In 2018, Tempo Trans EOOD approached Elba Service with a request for an energy-efficient, low-wear mixing plant.
“At that time, we had asked around among concrete producers and received consistently good reports about Ammann Elba plants, especially the CBS 105 SL,” says Tempo Trans owner Atanas Mitev. “As a result, we did further detailed research and came to the conclusion that we could expand our production with a new Ammann Elba CBS concrete mixing plant.”
Elba Service mounted the new CBS 105 SL Elba stationary concrete mixing plant in the same year. With its CEM 2000 S single-shaft mixer, Tempo Trans says the plant is particularly low-maintenance.
The aggregates are dosed and weighed from the five chambers of the CEL 175/5 linear bin. “Our aggregates are very abrasive, which is why we opted for wear plates for the skip bucket and for the weighing belt during the planning stage,” says Mitev. With a fresh concrete output of 2m³, the CEM 2000 S Elba single-shaft compulsory mixer is thus reliably supplied on a long-term basis.
Mitev and his team were impressed about the quality of the concrete produced and he says customers also noticed the difference: “The demand for our concrete increased significantly, so we had to expand our production.
“As a result, in 2020, we decided to acquire a second plant of the same type.”
The sister plant was commissioned in December 2020. With its modular design, it fits in with the infrastructure on site. Cement silos and the control container were provided by Tempo Trans, and three cement screws type EZL 80/100 are designed to guarantee the performance of the mixing plant.
In both cases, an installation supervision was carried out by Elba Service, with Ammann Elba in Ettlingen/Germany provided support during commissioning via teleservice.
