Astec has brought along a detailed model of a complete relocateable asphalt plant to explain the key features.
The plant incorporates double-barrel technology. A continuous process delivers virgin aggregates or 50% recycled material into the inner drum where it is dried. The aggregate then drops out to the outer drum, where bitumen is injected. Advantages include guaranteed mixing times and being able to heat the material within a single system.
ACE Pro – Ammann’s flagship system for monitoring and controlling compaction – is now available with GPS, allowing the operator to map the progress of compaction on-site. ACE Pro with GPS feeds absolute compaction data values back into the roller to automatically adjust amplitude and frequency to achieve the target compaction rate. It’s clever enough to stop compacting when the correct level is reached.
Hamm has launched the smallest combination roller in the HD CompactLine roller range, the HD10C VT1m.
With a working width of just a metre and weighing 1.5tonnes, the new model is being launched with a permanent all-wheel drive as standard.
With intelligent emissions control from the introduction of a Cummins six-cylinder engine, Vogele’s Super 2100-3i paver aims to raise paving efficiency to another level.
