Astec Industries’ EZR2 Screed for 8 and 10 Models
BY AsphaltPro Staff

The EZR2 highway class, rear-mount screed, now from Astec Industries, Chattanooga, comes in the 8 and 10 models. The EZR2 10 extends from a standard paving width of 10 feet to 19.5 feet to a maximum paving width of 30 feet and features vibration from four motors from zero to 3,000 vpm. The screed weighs 8,275 pounds. Its maximum extension slope is 12% positive and 5% negative. Depending on the tractor, it includes four outlets for power. Power output is 120 volts.
The EZR2 is designed so it can be mounted to all current 8-foot and 10-foot North American paver models offered by the major paver manufacturers, as well as able to retrofit to nearly any previous 8-foot or 10-foot North American highway-class paver.
One of the screed’s features is the power tunnel kit from Astec, which features hydraulically extendable tunnel extensions made with durable steel parts that are easy to replace if damaged, according to the manufacturer’s website. The tunnel is designed to be compatible with most make and model pavers.
