A new programmable angle control option is now available for Fascut Industries’ rebar bending equipment. The simple to operate plug-in pendant controller holds up to six programmable angles in memory and automatically sequences through them as the shape is being formed.

iQ Power Tools (formerly Masonry Tec Products) launched its iQ360 14-in. Masonry Chop Saw (below) at World of Concrete 2012, billing the model as the world’s first such equipment with fully-integrated dust collection vacuum system and singular power source.

BinMaster Level Controls announces the introduction of the 3DLevelScanner HE designed for use in storage silos containing challenging materials such as clinker, alumina, and fly ash. This new model of the 3DLevelScanner has an operating temperature range of up to 250°F (120°C) to accommodate higher temperatures that may be present when material that has been heated in the production process is conveyed into storage silos. The 3DLevelScanner HE is ideal for use in the cement, aluminum and power industries where there are multiple challenges such as dust or high humidity and very large silos where the material surface in the bin may be uneven and difficult to measure.

Molded from lightweight EVA resin, the Cruiser work boot has no seams to leak and no buckles to fail. Also, the EVA closed-cell polymer used in the boot is completely waterproof. The manufacturer notes that at just 2.1 lbs. per pair, Cruisers are virtual featherweights compared to other boots in their class, yet are tough enough to stand up to challenges like rebar wire ties that can shred ordinary PVC boots.

Managing the transfer and location of site-specific remote assets can be complex and often inaccurate. Zonar’s new ZTrak reduces liability of sensitive cargo, recovery of missing equipment and helps asset managers coordinate logistics and track the locations of valuable material.

Vocomp-20, a water-based acrylic curing and sealing compound, can be quickly and easily applied to simultaneously cure and/or seal new interior or exterior as well as vertical or horizontal concrete surfaces. The compound is formulated using special acrylic polymers in a true water-based carrier. Once properly applied, Vocomp-20 provides a durable film for efficient moisture retention.

Shown at World of Concrete 2012, Aercrete 625 is a mobile unit which blends foam concrete from sand, cement, water, Aercell A-7 and air directly at the building site. The machine continually mixes all ingredients mechanically, which allows for fresh concrete with the best properties. The process is controlled and supervised by a computer which measures all ingredients as stated on the various recipes. All important parameters are logged so that the recipe is followed to proper standards.
