06. June 2023 – In order to lay the screed in house construction without major problems, there are a wide variety of machines, including the "EstrichBoy". The special thing about this model? ifm is a part of it. You can find out here how exactly that can be!

Laying the screed is part of every house construction and renovation. Fortunately, this is no longer as time-consuming as it was a hundred years ago, as there are now dozens of machines for this application. One example of this is the so-called "EstrichBoy " of type DC 450 Stage V from Putzmeister Holding GmbH, which produces and sells the machine through its Brinkmann brand. They are the European leader in the screed machine segment and are particularly impressive for the simple and easy operation of their equipment. The "EstrichBoy" also fits into this pattern.

Externally, the machine impresses with its special optical design. Its hood is divided into four parts, which makes it very easy to replace any damage individually and makes the construction more resistant to high mechanical loads. In addition, the hood is colored in an appealing orange, which already indicates ifm's involvement, even if it is not intentional and hidden inside. The control panel of the machine is directed to the side of the user and is protected against impacts and dirt. The display of the fuel level also further facilitates general handling, so that the hood does not have to be opened to view the fill level.

However, if you take a look inside, with a trained eye you will immediately discover a product from ifm. This is what happened to Can Kekec, ifm Technical Documentation, when laying screed in his house. When he opened the machine he got a closer look at the technical inner workings and immediately discovered the installed ifm-BasicDisplay CR0452. The user can use this to increase and reduce the motor speed of the machine and to display the error statuses. The display therefore plays an important role in ensuring the functioning of the machine.
