Putzmeister Underground, the Putzmeister’s division specialized in underground equipment, will present its latest innovation in mechanized concrete spraying equipment: Wetkret 2 Narrow Vein on September 3rd at a private event at the facilities of its Peruvian dealer Metal Técnica S.A.
Specifically designed to operate in reduced sections of up to 2.5 x 2.5 m, this robotic equipment features Putzmeister's most advanced pumping technology and experience, offering a compact, safe, and highly efficient solution for one of the most demanding environments in the sector. Wetkret 2 Narrow Vein allows mechanizing the application of shotcrete in narrow veins, significantly improving operational safety and reducing personnel exposure to adverse conditions.
As part of the long-standing close cooperation between the Putzmeister SAB (Special Application Business) team and the concrete pump service providers KUNO and Betonlift on various construction projects, a training course for machine operators was carried out for the first time at the beginning of July 2025, which was specially tailored to the requirements of building construction/bridge construction and precast plants.
With the IoT platform thingsHub, Putzmeister is creating transparency in assembly, reducing search times by over 1,000 hours per year and laying the foundation for automated production.
