Dealer Event Helps Customers Succeed – Today and Tomorrow
Prime Training Day offered about 40 technicians lessons that are sure to bring out all the built-in value of Ammann ACM Prime Asphalt-Mixing Plants. Econovo Agrovial, a Dealer of Ammann plants and machines in Argentina, hosted the event at its headquarters in Córdoba.
What did the technicians learn – and what features of the Prime are resonating in the market?
Andrés Scorza, CEO of Econovo Agrovial, has answers to those questions – and more.
How did customers respond to Prime Training Day?
Extremely well. Customers appreciated the invitation and the opportunity to attend high-level training locally, avoiding the time and cost of travel abroad.
Who led the training?
Specialists from Ammann and Econovo were on hand to address both operational and technical questions.
What stood out to participants?
On the technical side, it was the ease of calibrating the plant’s weighing system, precise burner adjustments for fuel efficiency, and the as1 Control System above all.
What else was notable about the event?
Thirty-eight technicians from across Argentina attended. The sessions encouraged valuable discussions based on real-world operation.
What makes the Prime plant stand out to customers?
The high quality of asphalt mix it produces. Customers with multiple plants consistently rank Prime as the best in their lineup. Its mixing quality rivals that of much larger and more expensive batch plants – often surprising first-time users.
The customers value fuel efficiency, ease of operation, long wear-part life and remote support.
What applications is the Prime suited for?
A full range – from small repairs to major highway construction.
How important is mobility?
Very important. Prime is nearly plug-and-play, allowing relocation and restart within a week or less. Some customers move plants several times per year, so the amount of time saved has a positive impact on profit.
What plant options are in demand?
RAP systems and fiber (SMA) capabilities are frequently requested. The plant’s precision regarding time and volume makes it possible to use RAP and additives.
What do operators say about the as1 Control System?
It’s widely viewed as the most complete and user-friendly control system available.
How important is after-sales support?
It’s essential. Econovo is ensuring all parts and filters are on-hand to maximize uptime. Customers are also supported by Ammann’s global expertise, including the 24-hour customer support hotline.
Ammann ABC ValueTec Asphalt-Mixing Plants offer a bit more production for those looking for additional capacity. How are these plants being received in the market?
Very well. Five units were sold in just 10 days around the timeframe of CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026, with additional orders in progress. This reflects the growing demand for high-quality batch plants in Argentina.
Why are customers choosing ABC ValueTec?
It delivers Ammann’s proven quality, productivity and performance. It’s also supported by strong local service. Last but not least, confidence in the market is improving and customers are more willing to make an investment.
What makes it a good fit for businesses?
An excellent price/perfomance ratio combined with high capacity, advanced technology and mobility. While less mobile than Prime, it can still be relocated efficiently.
What configurations are customers requesting?
Fully equipped plants, including RAP, fiber dosing, advanced filler systems, foamed bitumen and relocation-friendly features.
How important is the as1 system for ABC ValueTec owners?
Very. Many customers already use it with Prime plants. They value its consistency and control – essential for maintaining quality while utilizing RAP.
What’s next for Econovo?
Continued investment in service, parts and technical teams to support the growing number of Ammann plants across Argentina.
