Sale of the First Ciber iNOVA 2000 Plant into Europe

The mobile, continuous asphalt mixing plant from Ciber produces asphalt mix with outstanding quality and low operating costs.

Demand for the Ciber iNOVA 2000 is already high in Australia and New Zealand, having already positioned itself as market leader in Latin America and Africa. Ciber, a member company of the Wirtgen Group from Brazil, has taken an important step towards becoming an established brand in the European market with the sale of a plant into the United Kingdom.

The trailer-mounted mobile continuous asphalt mixing plant which enables flexible, effective and sustainable realisation of construction projects, has been sold to a British company, B.P. Mitchell Ltd. The successful deal is a result of close international collaboration between the Wirtgen Group UK subsidiary, Wirtgen Limited, Benninghoven and Ciber.

Years of Excellent Experience with the Wirtgen Group

B.P. Mitchell, from Welwyn Garden City near London, a supplier of building materials to the construction industry for over 25 years, is also a specialist in the production of high quality recycled aggregates. B.P. Mitchell has worked closely with Wirtgen Limited for a number of years and has successfully operated a range of Kleemann crushing and screening equipment. For B.P. Mitchell, the purchase of the asphalt mixing plant from Ciber is the first step in the development of new capabilities for the realisation of future projects in the road construction industry.

iNOVA 2000 – cutting-edge technology for high productivity

A Permanent but Flexible Base

In the UK, most mobile asphalt plants are operated from fixed locations, as is the case with the iNOVA 2000 plant supplied to B.P. Mitchell. This is mainly due to the construction projects being predominantly small to medium scale, requiring a local supply of asphalt mix, for example construction work on airports, roads in new residential areas or the rehabilitation of sections of major highways.

Despite this, the mobile concept was an important factory for the customer’s plans. Although the largest proportion of asphalt required for road construction projects is supplied by cement and quarries with stationary asphalt mixing plants, the mobility and flexibility offers competitive advantages, especially in the case of temporary projects.

Brendan Mitchell is establishing his company as a dependable supplier that can deliver high quality material quickly and directly with the use of his new Ciber iNOVA 2000 plant.


iNOVA Fulfills Important Sustainability Criteria

The iNOVA 2000 plant enables sustainable and ecologically compatible asphalt production, similtaneously reducing CO₂ emissions. With the use of reclaimed asphalt pavement material (RAP), the plant fulfills the sustainability requirements in the UK with it’s lower transport costs, reduced fuel consumption and environmentally friendly combustion process.

Future Investment Plants: B.P. Mitchell is already planning further investments in the expansion of the plant with storage silos for hot mixed asphalt and aggregates.
