Extended working time with Loncin

Posted on:20/10/2017

Loncin continues to add to its diverse portfolio of engine applications across the construction and industrial sectors and is now powering a specialised plastering machine built by PFT Central.

The Loncin LC2V90FD engine, incorporated into a generator set was supplied to PFT by Multiplant Ltd based in Witney, Oxfordshire, who are equipped to supply and maintain a full range of equipment for the construction industry including approved suppliers of Yanmar compact diesel engines.

PFT, who supply plaster and screed equipment to the trade, were experiencing problems with their previous engine that was powering the PFT M-tec M330 plastering machine and they approached Multiplant to try and come up with a solution.

“The timing was perfect as Loncin had just released a 29.5hp engine which matched PFT’s requirements,” commented Eddie Smith, Customer Support Manager for the Industrial Division at Barrus who had been working with Multiplant to come up with an engine option.

Loncin agreed to produce a sample quickly for PFT to put to the test to determine its suitability for their machine. The Loncin LC2V90FD twin-cylinder horizontal, 29.5hp engine was fitted to a generator to power the M-tec330 plastering machine and underwent twenty hours plus of testing. It was reported that the unit powered by the Loncin engine performed better than units powered by other engines, and, in addition, an LED light could be run simultaneously to allow work through the night if conditions were right for spraying plaster to finish the job.

As a result of the testing, PFT was happy that the Loncin engines would offer the performance that they needed for their machines, and, with adjustments to the specification, they placed an order for 60 units which would be supplied by Multiplant.
