Sicoma Strength OVERHEAD DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS

Sicoma's traveling hoppers, flying buckets and discharge systems revolutionize the delivery of precast concrete to user stations. Suitable for both wet and dry cast, they can be installed in places where conventional bucket systems are impossible. They can be configured to deliver concrete to both sides of a bay divider without the use of chutes. New to North America, these systems have a long history in Europe and are fully field tested; this is important when comparing with others where only one or two have been installed.

Swiveling delivery belt. Shown on twin rail bucket, this versatile system allows mix to be delivered to either side of the rail system. Belt is stored in-line with track while traveling and rotates to either side for delivery.

	Solves dual-bay precast plant delivery problems without need for chutes.
	Compact, simple and reliable design.
	Proven design, many existing applications.

Sicoma swiveling delivery belt

Swiveling delivery belt and overhead crane hopper delivery systems in a typical precast installation. The system is suited to multi-level installations like this one, feeding both bays of the building.

Concrete receiving hoppers, accept concrete from traveling hoppers or direct from mixer and travel to pouring site on rails, by overhead crane or fork lift truck.

	Extremely versatile, suits many different types of operation.
	3 cu. m. (3.9 cu. yd.) capacity.
	Pneumatic discharge gates with reservoir.
	Proven design, many existing applications.
