Ida Grove, IA, USA – GOMACO concrete paving equipment will be featured in the Schwing Stetter (India) Pvt. Ltd. stand during Excon 2019, December 10-14, in Biec, Bengaluru, India. The GOMACO equipment on display includes the GP-2600 slipform paver with an IDBI built specifically for the Indian paving market, a two-track GP-2400 showcasing narrower width pavements, and an SL-450 slope finisher for canal and waterway projects. Schwing Stetter (India) Pvt. Ltd. is a GOMACO distributor in India.

The GP-2600 is GOMACO’s mid-range, high-production slipform paver capable of paving widths from 3.66 meters (12 ft) up to 9.75 meters (32 ft). Its modular, telescoping frame extends 1.98 meters (6.5 ft) on the left side for versatility in changing paving widths. It features the exclusive G+ operating system with user-friendly controls and system diagnostics. The electronic-over-hydraulic system provides easy, accurate adjustments with an instant, controlled response for accurate paving and job-proven reliability. The GP-2600 is equipped with the GOMACO IDBI. The IDBI is GOMACO’s system for inserting dowel bars on-the-go into a concrete slab during the paving process. It is the industry’s most productive and compact system for the automatic insertion of dowel bars across a finished concrete slab.

The GP-2400 is GOMACO’s smaller paver for slipforming widths up to 7.5 meters (24 ft) wide. It’s designed for minimum machine transport width for faster, easier, cost effective job-to-job mobility. The two-track GP-2400 is equipped with a 3100 series open-front mold, vibrators, and a 356 millimeter (14 in) diameter auger adjustable stainless to provide the superior GOMACO finish. The frame telescopes up to two meters (6.5 ft) on the left side for easier width changes. It also features the G+ control that is easy to operate.

GOMACO is dedicated to providing equipment for the waterways of the world and in India. GOMACO canal equipment was used to finish the Sardar Sarovar (Narmada) Canal in western India, which at the time was the world’s largest irrigation project. Canal finishing will be represented with the GOMACO SL-450 cylinder finisher. The SL-450 features pin-connected sections of framework to provide fast setup time and the versatility to fit exact job requirements. It can be equipped for trimming and finishing strict tolerances even on 1:1 (45 degree) slopes, with a minimum of handfinishing.
