PFT Successful in the
United Arab Emirates
The latest news from the building trade shows a
clear trend: “The construction industry in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is booming.” The UAE
has become an interesting sales market for German companies. Products “made in Germany”
are in greater demand than ever in Arab countries.
Industrialisation is one of the top priorities in the
Emirates. Investments in luxury tourism are growing. Dubai currently welcomes 5.4 million tourists per year and plans to increase this number
to 15 million visitors by 2010. And this growth
of the tourism sector substantially contributes to
the present boom in the construction industry.

PLAXIT offers “complete service”, i.e. the customers receive their material silos together with
the PFT machines needed for the application of
the material. PLAXIT is currently the only company that offers this service in the UAE. After all,
the system includes not just materials and perfect machines, but also well thought-out logistics
with silo and delivery vehicles.

These portable units can quickly and easily be
mounted to the bottom of a container. Besides,
the SILOMAT machines are highly suitable for
connection to a PLAXIT floor container as an
intermediate unit when conveying heights of more than 20 floors have to be overcome.
For the mixing and pumping of their materials,
the PLAXIT customers generally use PFT G 5 SUPER mixing pumps. It is important to Dr. Wünsch
that this continuously working type of mixing
pump can be filled both with bagged materials
and through an injection hood. Furthermore, he

Full-coverage thin-bed mortar joints in flat clay block masonry can now be
prepared in an even more economical way - with the aid of PFT equipment.
Mechanical Preparation of Full-Coverage
THIN-BED MORTAR JOINTS
The flat clay block construction technique
generally requires high accuracy, and
Bernhard and Horst Hemmerlein, the owners of Hemmerlein Bau GmbH, a building
firm based in Ebensfeld (near Coburg,
South Germany), know that very well.
Their company was charged with the construction of the shell of a house in Coburg. The masonry was to be made of
Wienerberger Poroton flat clay blocks.
At the building site in Coburg, the first step of the
flat clay block construction technique - mortar mixing - was done by the PFT RITMO mixing pump.
4
PFT PRISMA 2.2005
Laying Flat Clay Blocks in the
Full-Coverage Technique
When laying flat clay blocks with full-coverage thin-bed mortar, the mortar layer
applied to the joints has to be as thin as
possible - this helps to minimise the consumption of material. And this financial
aspect is not the only benefit for building
owners. The time needed for bricklaying is
also considerably reduced, thanks to specially developed aids for thin-bed mortar application, such as the mortar roller.
The mortar roller ensures that the thin-bed
mortar fully covers
the brick surface
and closes the holes. To achieve this,
the bricklayer fills
the hopper of the
mortar roller with
the mixed thin-bed
mortar and moves
the roller along each
row of bricks. The
result is a uniform,
uninterrupted bed
joint on which the
next layer of bricks can then be placed.
Saving Even More Time with PFT
At the building site in Coburg, the workers
of Hemmerlein for the first time applied
thin-bed mortar with the aid of a PFT machine, to save even more time in shell construction. From the Bamberg-based PFT
partner trader Sponsel, the firm had
bought a PFT RITMO mixing pump, which
was used to mix the mortar. Until then,
mortar had always been mixed by hand.
This PFT RITMO eliminated the strenuous
work step of manual mortar mixing with a
double-shaft mixer. The machine, placed
centrally on the building site, performed its
task by one push of a button. From the PFT
RITMO, the lump-free thin-bed mortar mixture was pumped to a tub through a short
material hose. Then the workers could simply fill their mortar slides with material
from this tub and work even faster.
With the aid of their PFT mixing pump, the
tradesmen of Hemmerlein Bau GmbH built
the masonry of this house in a record time!
Photo: Wienerberger Ziegelindustrie The small PFT RITMO mixing pump proved at various construction sites that
it is also suitable for the large-scale application of flowable materials.
Application of Flowable
Materials with the
Universal Genius PFT RITMO
3 mm of Floor Leveller
Evidence number one: The application of a
levelling compound to an uneven floor
surface.
The PFT RITMO did a very good job in the
renovation of a house in GeckenauBastheim, a village in South Germany.
In several rooms, a 3 mm layer of levelling compound had to be applied to the
existing floor screed. It was necessary to
use a material that was efficient to apply
and could be walked on and receive a
floor covering after a short time. Knauf
Nivellierspachtel 415 met these requirements. The plastering and painting business of Heiko Stäblein, based in Heufurt,
was charged with the levelling work. Since the firm already owned a PFT G 4 mixing pump - Europe's No. 1 - it was clear
that this machine would be used for the
job. Supported by his PFT partner trader
Odenwälder Baumaschinen, Schwebheim,
Mr. Stäblein tested the PFT RITMO mixing
pump for the first time.
Thanks to the use of a PFT A 3-2 L screw
pump at maximum speed, an optimal,
lump-free mixture was prepared. And PFT
level gauges for floor screed ensured that
the layer of material applied was absolu-
tely level. The result was a perfectly homogeneous floor surface.
5 mm of Filling Compound
Evidence number two: The application of a
flowable cement mortar for mineral coverings.
In the construction of a factory building in
Neustadt Aisch (South Germany), the PFT
RITMO proved its worth once again. It helped to apply a 5 mm layer of filling compound to a floor approx. 150 m 2 in area
in an economical and time-saving way.
The flooring business of Theodor Rüttger,
based in Iphofen, applied Silatex SiC-Megaplan, a material made by Chemotechnik.
This flowable cement mortar required the
use of optimal mixing equipment, ensuring
a homogeneous, lump-free mixture. Frank
Hippel, a representative of the PFT
construction machinery trader Stökker, Mainstockheim,
and Otto Iff, the PFT Technical Consultant
for Northern Bavaria, suggested using a
PFT RITMO mixing pump. This machine
economically mixed the mortar with clean
water to form an easily spreading and
fast-setting flooring compound - even
though it was only supplied
with 230 V current.
The mixture was poured onto
the floor of the factory building with a PFT mortar hose
and spread with a floor
screed blade. Then Mr. Rüttger used spiked shoes to de
aerate and level the flowable mortar. In
this way, PFT equipment helped to create
a uniform floor surface at the building site in Neustadt. PFT's small mixing
pump, placed in
front of the
building, did a
very good job.
The PFT RITMO helped to
easily apply a flowable
cement mortar to the floor of
a factory building in Neustadt.

The PFT MAXIMIX compulsory mixer, the PFT ZP 3 long conveying pump and
an extension hopper designed by himself - that is the tailor-made solution
for Frank Siebert's one-man firm. This PFT machine combination stores lar-
ge quantities of mixed material and thus permits long application times wi-
thout constant interruptions for the mixing of new material.
XXL
Machine Combination
for a Large Supply
“Be your own man,” master builder Frank
Siebert thought to himself in 1998 and
established his own clay construction business.
Numerous reference projects, accomplished either manually or with the aid of
machines, prove that Mr. Siebert is really
a master in his trade. A short while ago,
he decided to purchase better and, above
all, user-friendlier equipment. It was important to him to have a machine combination that would mix and store larger
quantities of material, so that he had more time for the application of the material
and did not have to waste half of his wor-
king time on mixing new earth-moist clay
plaster.
PFT MAXIMIX Combined with PFT
ZP 3 long
At www.pft.de, Frank Siebert found what
he was looking for. He chose a compulsory mixer and a conveying pump by PFT,
which exactly met his requirements. In a
consultation with the local PFT partner
trader Moog GmbH, based in Paderborn
(North Germany), an appointment was
made to test the machine combination at
a building site. The demonstration of the
PFT ZP 3 long conveying pump, with
its large material
container, and the
PFT MAXIMIX compulsory mixer immediately convinced
Mr. Siebert of the
benefits of this
combination. These
two machines offered a material capacity of approx.

The Tailor-Made Solution
Mr. Siebert further improved this combination by adding an extension hopper, which
increased the volume by approx. 200 litres. Thanks to this clever kind of selfhelp, Mr. Siebert now has exactly the
equipment that he had in mind. He can

having to interrupt his work to mix new
material. The use of a PFT G 4 mixing pump at

COLUMN PRODUCTION
the
PFT G4
The optimal mixture of the material in
the PFT G 4 and the resulting minimisation of the setting time made it possible to produce two columns for the
palace hall per week.
Hannover Adventure Zoo has realised a
very special concept. In addition to the
presentation of about 2,600 animals of
240 species in near-natural landscapes,
Hannover Zoo features a unique adventure world with a wide range of attractions:
Numerous visitors enjoy animal theme

Being fully satisfied with the first PFT EM 11 M electric mixing pump - and having noticed an in-
crease in the number of orders - the plastering firm Milosek did not hesitate to buy a second and
a third machine of this type.
High Customer Satisfaction
Thanks to HIGH PERFORMANCE
of PFT EM 11 M
About one and a half years ago, Roland Milosek, the owner of Putztechnik Milosek, a
plastering firm based in Schloss Holte-Stukenbrock (North Germany), decided to buy
his first PFT EM 11 M electric mixing pump.
Before, he thoroughly tested the newly
launched PFT machine. In a few demonstrations and field tests, the electric mixing
pump had to prove its worth. However, the
high performance of the machine and, ultimately, a visit to the PFT machine factory
in Iphofen fully satisfied Mr. Milosek.
Thanks to the optimal interplay between
Mr. Milosek's workers and their PFT machine, all building jobs that followed were
completed properly and, above all, on schedule.
Applying 12,000 m2 of plaster in six
weeks - this can only be accomplished
with optimal equipment! The job was
done on a piecework basis, and two
PFT EM 11 M electric mixing pumps
helped to mix and pump the material.
Large-Scale Order
Requires Additional
Machines
When Mr. Milosek accepted an
order concerning the application of 10,000
m 2 of interior plaster and 2,000 m 2 of exterior plaster in the middle of 2005, he
knew that he would not get very far with
only one PFT EM 11 M.
So he simply purchased a second PFT EM
11 M from his Paderborn-based construction machinery trader Moog Baumaschinen. Since his workers had already familiarised themselves with the use of this
machine, the 12,000 m 2 plastering job
was completed in an unbelievably short time of only six weeks. Roland Milosek and
his customer had originally scheduled about eight to ten weeks for this project!
A quick and simple procedure: The cement-lime plaster is
mixed in the mixing container and fed to the pump container, and the spray application can begin.

PFT PRISMA 2.2005
All Good Things Come in Threes
Today, Mr. Milosek even owns a third PFT
EM 11 M. Thanks to the new PFT machines, which ensure a very effective and,
above all, quick completion of building
jobs, the plastering business Milosek has
already secured a number of new orders.
Roland Milosek also greatly appreciates
the good cooperation between his firm,
the PFT Headquarters in Iphofen and his
partner trader Moog in Paderborn. In addition to his three PFT EM 11 M electric
mixing pumps, he currently owns four PFT
G 4 mixing pumps, two PFT SILOMAT systems and one PFT CUTMASTER hot-wire
cutter. Mr. Milosek has become a highly
satisfied PFT customer! Customised solutions based on a modular system are one of the
strengths of PFT. The builders of a new railway line for ICE trains
have profited from the well-matched machine combination of PFT
MULTIMIX and PFT ZP 3 V.
PFT TECHNOLOGY
Keeps ICE Trains
on a Safe Track
In a very difficult construction project in South
Germany, PFT managed to “keep things moving” once again. The consortium that is building the northern section of a new railway line
for Inter City Express (ICE) high-speed trains
between Nuremberg and Ingolstadt had a special task for PFT and the PFT construction machinery trader Hess, based in Hemau. The problem which Holger Schmidt, graduate engineer
and supervisor of the consortium's overground
works, had to solve was how to fill the joints
of 4,000 precast concrete elements used in
tracklaying under high time pressure.
had to be filled in an efficient, economical and
time-saving procedure in one night shift.
The only practicable solution that would guarantee optimal effectiveness was to mount the
mixing and pumping system for the filling material on a vehicle.
To put this idea into practice, Michael Hess, the
PFT construction machinery trader, and Otto Iff,
the PFT Technical Consultant for Northern Bavaria, suggested moving the mixing and pumping
system along the tracks on a lorry, together
with a supply of material bags, to ensure an efficient operation.
Tracklaying under Time Pressure
When working for a consortium of this kind, the
greatest difficulty is usually the fact that each
job has to be completed under
enormous time pressure, so that a
trouble-free interplay of all parties
is ensured. In this case, the joints

pulsory mixer. It made a homogeneous mixture
of BETEC 180, a cementitious, microsilica-modified grouting material based on blast furnace
cement. The mixture was pumped by a PFT ZP
3 V conveying pump (5.5 kW). The PFT MULTIMIX mixed approx. 80 litres of material
and fed it to the PFT ZP 3 V. This machine pumped the material to the joints
of the track structure through a hose,
35 mm in diameter and 5 m in length,
at a rate of approx. 10 litres per minute. The material flow was controlled
with the aid of a PFT ZARGOMAT glue
gun and a lance. This allowed the workers to properly, quickly and efficiently

Nobody and
nothing is spared by the ravages of time,
not even the
highest building of Braunschweig (North
Germany). So
it was time for
modernisation.
This building,
which is located in the
Heidberg
neighbourhood and nicknamed “I Punkt” (“dot
over the i”) by the locals, is 54 metres high and
has 17 floors. The “I Punkt” is a landmark of
Braunschweig and situated in one of the city's
most pleasant residential areas. The aim of the
renovation efforts was to create modern flats
(partly with a view of the Harz Mountains!) meeting various needs, as well as attractive business
spaces, a high-quality restaurant and new facades with several winter gardens.
The plastering business Pfeiffer, established in
1982 and based in Cremlingen, got the chance
to take part in this prestigious modernisation
project.
Lothar Pfeiffer, the owner of the business, specialising in machine-applied plasters and floor
screeds, was charged with the application of interior plaster to an area of approx. 6,000 m2.
PFT PRISMA 2.2005
Exceptional Conveying Heights?
PFT SILOJET
Never before did Mr. Pfeiffer have to convey his materials to a height of about 50
metres. During the preparations for this
job, he was not absolutely sure that he
would manage to transport the plaster to
the 17th floor.
But since his machinery - PFT products, of
course - had never let him down, he decided to use PFT equipment for the “I
Punkt” project. Mr. Pfeiffer combined two
of his eight PFT G 4 mixing pumps with
two PFT SILOJET conveying systems. The
gravity conveying systems by PFT are characterised by a compact design and high
conveying capacities. Machines featuring
conveying distances of up to 200 metres
and capacities of up to 35
l/min would also be suitable
for this difficult job. Thanks
to the PFT SILOJET, mounted
directly to the bottom of the
material silo, the material
was conveyed without any
problems - despite a height
difference of almost 50 metres.
The “I Punkt-Meter” on the front of
the building shows the progress of
the modernisation work. And Lothar
Pfeiffer made an important contribution with the aid of PFT machine
technology.
Neat Plasterwork?
PFT G 4
On each floor, the dry material was fed to
a PFT G 4 mixing pump in an almost dustfree procedure with the help of an injection hood. Then it was mixed with water
in the PFT G 4, pumped to the place of
use and applied with a spray gun.
Thanks to this combination, the material
was conveyed to the top in a very clean
way and with little effort. The highly skilled workers and the well-matched machines of Pfeiffer had already been a good
team for many years. They were able to
complete the entire plasterwork in only
four weeks. And since Mr. Pfeiffer and his
workers executed the order at the “I
Punkt” in
Braunschweig in
such a short
time, they
can already
concentrate
on their next
project. NEW MACHINES

by Rath Baumaschinen GmbH, located in Rehlingen-Siersburg (Western Germany), a
PFT partner trader of many years' standing.
The proud buyer of the jubilee machine is the stuccoing business Hermann Engel
GmbH, Eppelborn. Since its establishment in 1993, this firm has worked successfully with PFT machines.
PFT partner trader Christian
Rath ceremonially handed over
the 10,000th PFT SILOMAT C
to Marco Engel on the premises of Engel GmbH. The new
conveying system now supports the 10 employees of the
business in their daily work.
