Mec as mechanics, the design of equipment, and soil where the equipment meets the natural element: the ground. Soilmec, soil mechanics in the broadest sense of the word.

At bauma 2022 Soilmec will present a completely renewed display layout, focusing on customers and their needs. Based on the experience and success of the first generation, the new SR machines of the Blue Tech line have been designed to improve their productivity and operational flexibility to an ever-greater extent, reducing operating costs and emissions as well as dedicated care on comfort, ergonomics and safety of operator and staff on site.

The design of the Blue Tech Lines is based on the optimization of power transmission and on the minimization of energy dissipation. Special focus has been placed on the main parts of the machine normally involved during the work cycle. The range will be represented at the fair by the SR-65, in the LDP version, appreciated especially for its performance in segmental casing piles, equipped with segmental mast and LHR mast. The choice of this configuration is to highlight its multifunctionality and ease of conversion not only between different technologies but even between different solutions within the same technology. The SR-65 Blue Tech in LDP version is the maximum expression of its dynamic and aggressive character.

The SR-125 has been updated to the Blue Tech version which includes a redesigned operator cab, new hydraulic and mechanical systems improved for greater efficiency. The machine has improved characteristics mainly in terms of the performance of the rotary head, with an increased torque value and in the main winch thanks to the adoption of a closed circuit.

The SC-135 Tiger is Soilmec's flagship. The Hydromill the way it should be: designed to be as productive as the situation demands, unfailingly reliable and able to minimize downtime and maintenance costs.

The SC-135 Tiger is equipped with a Caterpillar C27 engine capable of delivering the 708 kW power required to work in demanding conditions in terms of depth and panel size. The excellent reliability of the SC-135 is ensured by the double hydraulic system featuring lines dedicated to the excavation module and the base machine, high-pressure filters for each return line, and an accurate drainage unit with dedicated tank. The SC-135 Tiger is equipped with the new SH-35 excavation module. With an operating weight of between 30 and 38 tons, the SH-35 is assembled on a frame that allows for a wide range of panel thicknesses, from 650 mm to 1500 mm. A new mud pump, hydraulic compensators with improved flow rate and new hydraulic fittings for connecting the motors are some of the developments installed on the equipment.

The Soilmec line of micropile machines will be represented by the SM-22 and the new electric rig. The Soilmec SM-22 is truly a multi-function micro-drilling rig. Thanks to its modular design it can be easily set up in different configurations such as single rotary, double rotary, top-hammer and vibro-rotary to perform consolidations, micropiles and anchors with different drilling technologies, direct circulation, reverse circulation, DTH, CFA and jet grouting.

The novelty of the line, exhibited in preview, will be the SM-13e. The project was born with the aim of creating the first electric drilling machine, evolving that path started decades ago, with the advent of the first electric motorized rigs for internal environments and in tunnels. In essence this represents the first step in the development of a whole range of electrified SOILMEC machines, which we call zeroEmission of the E-TECH line.
