MATTHEOS IOANNOU LTD

Fresh Concrete Recycling

"I am the owner of a concrete production company in Cyprus. It took me a while to decide to install a PROTEM fresh concrete recycling system. After 9 months of operation, I am very satisfied with the results. Perhaps I should have prioritized this investment more. I also think that the payback will be even faster than PROTEM's initial study predicted, as they did not account for the significant reduction in driver time spent washing vehicles at the end of the day."

PATMOS BETON

Ready-mix concrete batching plant equipment

“I am the owner of a Ready-mix concrete batching plant in the island of Patmos. I have met the General Manager of Protem Group S.A. since 2010 when he convinced me to work together. As far as the reliability and trustworthiness of PROTEM's products is concerned, I believe my opinion is unnecessary. In those 10 years since that time, we have been visited by a technician just once, for a maintenance. What I'd like to note is, the same thing that has helped me so much in my business up to day: I have adopted the morality and ethics code which was highly valued by the General Manager of Protem Group. These were the exact same values he encouraged me to embrace in my business. I have treated my customers with honesty and transparency by always providing them, along with the concrete, the Batch Report generated by the automation. Meanwhile I have patiently waited for the benefits to come. Today, I can ensure anyone that I have been lucky for trusting Protem Group and convince him to do the exact same thing.”

Proven invulnerable hardware

“We are used to hear great words and empty promises from our suppliers, most of which we unfortunately find out are invalid. However, this by no means applies to PROTEM. On the 26th of July, 2018 a thunder hit our plant in Larissa and the damages it caused were massive. PC, Fax, Telephone centers and generally all plugged-in devices were completely and utterly destroyed. In spite of our bad luck, we were surprised to find out that perhaps the only electronical equipment that remained unharmed were our plant’s automations which were installed by PROTEM more than 10 years ago. We were greatly relieved to see our production continuing normally after this catastrophe and this statement of mine is the least I can do in order to show my appreciation to my partner.”

Retrofitting of an old Ready-Mix Concrete industry

“We have been cooperating with PROTEM since 1999. In 2016 we wished to retrofit our plant and we haven’t had a single thought about changing our partner. We were greatly impressed at how PROTEM implemented all the upgrades we asked for in both our mixer and our automation. It was of great importance to us that they completed all tasks within the set time limits and without the smallest deviation from our budget. Our plant has been retrofitted successfully and is harmonized with all today’s standards regarding both security and concrete production issues.”

Ready-Mix Concrete Recycling

“The installment and operation of PROTEM’s concrete recycling system fully covers the requirements we had when we decided to proceed to its purchase. The characteristics as well as the advantages of this solution are of critical importance when it comes to achieving the goals of this investment. What made a difference above all else was the “green” operation of the company, resulting in the protection of the environment as well as the direct economic benefit from saving raw materials.”

Dry mortar factory modernization

“PROTEM’s experience in automation projects gave us the confidence to appoint them for the modernization of our Dry Mortar Production Plant’s control system in Elefsis. The system provides an easy to use, yet rich in useful information control system for our operator and as it was proved through the years it’s easily expandable to cover additional requirements, and we are so far well satisfied with the system support”

LAHOR S.A.

Quarry Automation

“The decision to automate the Quarry with PROTEM aimed to help us achieve consistency in our production and eliminate human errors. The automation implemented on our plant resulted to a better utilization of our personnel, efficient daily operation, and increased flexibility of production and all this bundled with great customer service. We couldn't run efficiently the quarry without PROTEM's system! We have also implemented PROTEM's Batching Controls Systems & Software Technologies at our Ready Mixed Concrete Plants at our sister company FINOBETON S.A.”

PROKEL S.A.

Precast/Concrete Products Production

“We chose PROTEM to modernize our production plant mainly due to their reputation for proving best in class and well supported automation solutions in the concrete materials industry. Our decision proved to be the right one as their advanced process control system helped us achieving accurate batching, optimizes our production and maintains the quality we need on our products. The system is easy to use yet very powerful when it comes to control all aspects & parameters of the production, especially the moisture contents.”

Fresh concrete recycling

“The installation and operation of the recycling system of PROTEM fully meets the requirements of the project. I would even say that exceeds the expectations we had when we decided to invest in such a system. The characteristics and advantages of this solution contribute decisively to the achievement of key objectives of such an investment, namely the "green“ operation of our company, the environmental protection and the direct economic benefit from savings in raw materials.”
