Atlas Copco is to introduce its Meyco range of concrete sprayers during Bauma 2016. The flagship products, the Meyco ME5 and smaller model Meyco ME3 are built to support all types of mid-sized to large scale underground construction and mining projects. “We are truly excited about these products as they are the first result of the integration of the Meyco concrete sprayer knowhow within the Atlas Copco environment,” comments Paul O’Neill, Product Marketing Manager for Concrete Spraying Equipment at Atlas Copco. “This new range is also a clear sign of our commitment to this industry segment as it not only has new technological features, but also comes with the trusted Atlas Copco global service and support. That way we can provide even better collaboration with our customers, regardless where their projects are in the world.”

The new Meyco range has an increased precision spraying due to its improved boom and pump. Due to these technical innovations the product also assures less rebound, resulting in less waste during usage. As a leader in automated machinery, Atlas Copco equipped the Meyco range standard with semi-automated technology and also offers a fully automated version. “We understand not everybody might be ready for the full automated versions, so the standard model comes with semi-automation. This also allows improved data collection to continuously upgrade the machines for improved efficiency,” continues O’Neill. All that relevant data is easily accessible via the new touch-screen monitor which also enables smoother operations of the machines.

Due to its global network of customer centers and service technicians, as well as a close collaboration with BASF Construction Chemicals, Atlas Copco says it provides its customers with all support elements required for their mining and tunnelling projects worldwide.
