Astec Industries Showcases RX-405 Cold Planer

Astec Industries, Chattanooga, showcased the RX-405 cold planer at the World of Asphalt/AGG1 2024 event in Nashville, including the premier of its premium camera system capable of providing a bird’s eye view of the entire machine from the operator console. It was first debuted at CONEXPO/CON-AGG 2023. Equipped with a mid-mount variable cutter system (VCS), this machine offers cut widths ranging from 2 to 5 feet, achieving a maximum cut depth of 14 inches. It is powered by a Tier 3 or Stage 5 Cummins QSL-9 engine rated at 430 horsepower. It features a secondary conveyor that can swing 60 degrees on each side, providing a full conveyor swing of 120 degrees and a 750-gallon water tank.

The new operator environmental awareness system made its debut at the show. Set to be available on the RX-405 and all milling machines in Q4 of 2024, this real time view of the machine from above will enhance safety and visibility to obstructions, thereby boosting productivity.
