Atlas Copco offers new concrete unit

385 Atlas Copco has launched a new 7048 Meyco mobile spraying unit designed for shotcreting. The Meyco Versa is the first Atlas Copco branded product to be launched on the market since the company acquired Meyco of Switzerland in April 2013. Atlas Copco Meyco, a global specialist in concrete spraying equipment, has introduced the Meyco Versa to meet the present and future concrete spraying (shotcreting) needs of mid-size tunnels in hydropower, road and rail projects.

“The Meyco Versa (as in “versatile”) is an all-in-one solution for concrete spraying designed for one operator,” says the company.

It has a new carrier platform with 4 x 4 crab steering, and is powered by a Tier 4 diesel engine. In addition, it has a new boom; an optional 75kW onboard compressor; a 20m³/hour low pulsation concrete pump and a high-precision dosing system.

“One of the key features of this machine is its Mezza boom which is fast and smooth, while at the same time reducing overall wear and tear. This has been achieved thanks to a new type of glide bearing technology that we have developed as a result of feedback from our customers,” says Christof Ziegler, product manager at Atlas Copco Meyco.
