Hyundai Construction Equipment has announced the immediate availability of ‘ de-tiering ’ ( or sulphur tolerance ) kits for the Stage III B Hyundai 9A series , which allow Hyundai dealers to adjust their machines for markets with less-stringent emission regulations and high-sulphur fuel restrictions . De-tiering a machine ’ s engine means automatic emission decertification . Alain Worp , director of construction equipment sales for Hyundai Heavy Industries Europe , said , “ Hyundai excavators and wheel loaders last for a long time , so it ’ s good that when our customers choose an all-new HX / HL series machine from Hyundai , their previous machines can enjoy a second life in other countries . That ’ s how we can all help to make better use of our natural resources and build a better world .”
ArcelorMittal , Evonik , LafargeHolcim and Solvay have formed a new Low Carbon Technology Partnerships Initiative across the steel , cement and chemicals industries , to look at how potential synergies between the manufacturing processes of the three energy-intensive sectors could be harnessed to reduce CO 2 emissions . The first step will involve a study aimed at bringing a fact-based overview of carbon and energy sources from industrial off-gases , and evaluating the technical , environmental and economic feasibility of different carbon capture and usage ( CCU ) pathways and their potential . Initial findings suggest that deploying cross-sector carbon capture and reuse opportunities on an industrial scale could reduce global anthropogenic CO 2 emissions by up to 7 %; deploying existing conversion technologies across the three sectors could utilise by-products in the off-gases to create building materials , organic chemicals and fuel ; increased renewable energy would significantly boost net carbon reduction efforts ; and cross-sector carbon capture and reuse should result in job creation .
First EC750E delivered in Eastern Europe
Kuwaiti construction company and quarry operator Al Ourifan has upgraded its sand washing installation with CDE Global ’ s M4500 , a higher capacity modular wash plant that offers feeding , screening , sand washing , and stockpiling on a single compact chassis .
The M4500 joins Al Ourifan ’ s CDE M2500 E3X sand washing plant , purchased in 2013 , to treat raw wadi sand in order to obtain a 0-5mm washed sand for use by the local construction industry . The M2500 produces 100 tonnes per hour ( tph ) of washed sand , while its M4500 processes 220tph of material to produce 200tph of concrete sand .
The 450-tonne capacity M4500 , introduced in 2010 , was
Polish cement company Cementownia Warta has become the first Eastern European customer to take delivery of the new 75-ton Volvo EC750E — the largest crawler excavator available in regulated markets .
Warta , based in Pajęczno County , Poland , produces cement for road construction , airports , and hydraulic structures , such as dams and water power stations . Its machines are required to work long hours while maintaining efficiency , making operator comfort and extended uptime key requirements . It was for these reasons that the Volvo EC750E was the perfect fit .
The EC750E offers innovative electro-hydraulic technology . The spacious cab is a lownoise environment with ergonomically positioned interfaces and clear all-around visibility to ensure maximum efficiency and ease of use . It has 12 air-conditioner vents and an adjustable seat for optimum operator comfort and productivity .
“ The decision to choose a Volvo machine was an obvious and natural choice for us ,” says Sławomir Goszczak , transport and machinery manager at Warta . “ We bought our first Volvo unit in 2008 — an L120F wheel loader — and have since gone on to own a whole fleet of its machines , culminating in our most recent purchase : the EC750E .”
In addition to the new excavator , Warta owns three
Kuwait ’ s Al Ourifan expands CDE sand washing plant installation
the first machine to combine feeding , screening , sand washing and stockpiling onto one compact chassis . Features include a feed hopper and conveyor , a double-deck 4.9m × 1.5m screen , and an EvoWash sand washing plant . The M4500 ’ s modular design allows for fast deployment and gives a smaller footprint .
Al Ourifan has also installed the CDE AquaCycle A400 , a water recovery system with a 400m ³ per hour capacity that recycles up to 90 % of water used in the sand washing process , benefiting both the business and the environment . The owner of Al Ourifan , Mr Ourifan , explains , “ The issue of water availability is a primary concern for all

construction companies and quarries in Kuwait , and lack of water is a deal breaker where sand washing operations are concerned .
The new machine was delivered and mounted in the last week of September and is now being used to load the company ’ s A40 haulers in the Warta limestone quarry .
Al Ourifan ’ s M4500 processes 220tph of material to produce 200tph of concrete sand .
The dewatering screen on the integrated EvoWash sand washing plant also allows the material to be dried and ready for sale much sooner .
