Smart road recycling from Wirtgen

Wirtgen is now offering an innovative satellite-based AutoTrac steering system for its wheeled WR-series recyclers and stabilisers. According to the firm, this allows the machines to deliver efficient working, providing precision steering to centimetre accuracy. The system works uses a previously determined reference strip and a specified overlap of adjacent strips, allowing consistent use of the optimum working width, boosting efficiency.

The WR-series machines are also available with the Wirtgen Performance Tracker. The system registers location-specific working parameters to provide a database for site analysis and documentation. For soil stabilisers, data includes working width and depth, area and distance worked and fuel consumption.

The technology is available for the firm’s latest WR series wheeled recycler/stabilisers. The WR-series recyclers have all-wheel drive and have working widths of up to 2.4m and high milling and mixing performances.

Meanwhile, the top-of-the-recycler -range W 380 Cri is a tracked rear loader with a mixing capacity of up to 800tonnes/hour and can be used for both cold in-place recycling (CIR) and full-depth reclamation (FDR) for the rehabilitation of wide roadways.
