Find New Parts for AsphaltPaving

Manufacturers haven’t slowed their research and development in between tradeshows while you’ve been out paving this summer. If you’re in need of parts, components or a whole new machine, the OEMs who make the goods are hard at work to keep up with demand. The next few pages include a handful of offerings that were provided to make it easier for you to find who’s keeping your bottom line in mind. Let them know you appreciate them making your life easier through AsphaltPro magazine.

Roadtec

Roadtec, an Astec Industries company, of Chattanooga, offers its RP-195 rubber track paver. With a 230-horsepower Cummins engine, the RP-195e/ex is designed for highway work. It features Roadtec’s exclusive anti-segregation design of the feed tunnel, feed tunnel discharge and rear augers. A delta plate defines the front wall of the material tunnel, preventing mix from rolling forward under the paver. Augers are kept close to the discharge of the conveyors to keep material moving. Each rear auger and conveyor is driven by its own hydraulic motor. This way conveyors can be wide and close together and6 each can run independently. Electric flow gates give precise control over the head of material.

Wirtgen America Inc.

Wirtgen America Inc. of Antioch, Tennessee, launched the PCD cutting tools for pavement maintenance projects September 2018.

Polycrystalline diamond (PCD) milling tools are designed with exceptionally long service life thanks to a highly wear-resistant tool tip. Depending on the application, PCD milling tools are a useful addition to the existing pick range featuring conventional carbide tips. PCD is a synthetically manufactured, strong mass of carbon and carbide. The PCD tip consists of differing layers: A concentrate of diamond particles in the upper layer, the interlayers and a tungsten carbide substrate.

Process Heating Company

Process Heating Company (PHCo) of Seattle offers the Patch King pothole patcher, which heats hot or cold mix patching material and keeps it at the desired working temperature, from 50° to 350° F, for at least 10 hours, according to the manufacturer. The unit features Lo-Density® open-coil, drywell-style heaters, evenly distributed across the sides, bottom, ends and discharge doors, which dissipate up to 1 watt per square inch of heat. Operators can either heat the material at the beginning of the day, set a time clock for early morning pre-heating or keep it hot overnight for more efficient use of material and improved worker productivity. It heats without flame.

Available in insulated 3.0-, 4.0- or 8.0-cubic yard models, the Patch King is popular with municipalities and road maintenance contractors because the insulated patch box easily mounts into a dump truck or onto a flatbed to keep mix hot all shift. In addition to the standard dump model, the Patch King is available in a trailer model and a rotary auger model.

Forta Corporation

Forta Corporation of Pennsylvania, now offers its Surface-EXT™ fiber for use with micro surfacing mixes. Surface-EXT is an AR glass fiber used to improve flexibility and fatigue performance, offering reinforcement throughout the slurry or micro mix. According to a MnROADS study, adding fiber reduces rutting and cracking versus the control, while also proving profitable when compared to the time and cost of using a double preservation treatment.

Bergkamp

Bergkamp of Salina, Kansas, offers the pivot tack/air hose system for the FP5 flameless all-in-one pothole patcher. Located at the back-right side of the FP5’s hopper body, the system’s pivoting arm holds the original tack hose off of the ground and parallel to the hopper, locked in place for transporting with a spring-loaded pin. When in use, the pivot arm also locks into position, allowing the operator to keep the hose suspended and off of the ground. The pivot arm and hose system has a 180-degree pivot capability and provides approximately 20 feet of overall extended reach with the tack wand.

Mauldin

Mauldin offers three new commercial class pavers this year. The three new models—the 1860, the 1560 and the 650 gravity fed paver—have undergone changes to help increase product performance while maintaining operator convenience.

The 1860, which replaces the long-running 1750-C, is powered by a Cummins 110HP Tier 4 Final engine. The redesigned tractor now has a larger 9.5-ton material capacity. The new lower conveyor uses heavy-duty greaseless heat rated bearings designed for longer life. The 1860 is propelled by larger 14-inch poly pad tracks for better traction.

The 1860 shares the same Silver 16 screed of the 1750-C, which has been in production for 15 years. The Silver 16 weighs 4,500 pounds and is paired with a 4-auger feed system. The electric heat for the screed still comes from a 16-kw 4-zone thermostatic control system.

Hamm

Hamm, a Wirtgen Group company, of Antioch, Tennessee, offers the Hamm DV+ Articulated Split Drum Compactors now with split oscillation drums. One of Hamm’s highlights at World of Asphalt 2019 was the DV+ 90i VV-S, a model from Series DV+. These pivot-steered tandem rollers are available in two weight categories (7.7 and 9.9 tons). All of the eight models come with split vibration drums as a standard feature. Brand new on the market in the spring were the new models offered by Hamm with a split oscillation drum.

An important factor is the evenly distributed weight of the DV+. This is due to the positioning of the engine in the center of the machine and the two-part water tank distributing the weight evenly in all operational states, according to the manufacturer. The split vibration drums are fitted as a standard feature to get compaction in tight curves. There is a large turning angle, and the enormous track offset of the pivot steering allows the DV+ to be steered with great sensitivity in four different steering modes, according to the manufacturer.

Ammann Group

Ammann Group of Langenthal, Switzerland, offers a new line of soil compactors featuring new technological solutions to meet the latest emissions standards, reduce fuel use, and provide data to eliminate unnecessary passes on jobsites. Sustainability efforts center on the new ECOdrop initiative that is being used across the Ammann product line. Among the benefits of ECOdrop are improved machine serviceability and engine efficiency that leads to lower fuel costs. Hydraulic and vibratory components have been optimized to reduce the fluids required to run the system.

“The savings with ECOdrop are substantial,” Vlasta Medek, Global Commercial Compaction, said. “For example, with the ARS 70, fuel consumption dropped 22 percent. The required hydraulic oil dropped by 26 percent and the oil needed in the vibratory system was reduced by 10 percent. Customers therefore can expect a corresponding drop in the costs of fluid acquisition and disposal.”

Standard on the ARS 70 is the Kubota V3307-CR-TE4 diesel engine. The Deutz TCD3.6L4 engine is standard on the ARS 110 and ARS 130; the Deutz TCD4.1L4 is standard on the ARS 150 and ARS 170. The rollers are compact because of the innovative no-rear-axle concept, which positions the engine, coolers, liquid tanks and hydraulic components in the engine compartment.

Congratulations to Ammann on its 150th anniversary this year.

Vogele

Vogele, a Wirtgen Group company, of Antioch, Tennessee, updated its Big MultiPlex Ski April 2018. This new grade and slope control technology simplifies the process of connecting and using the sensors. It operators as standard with three multi-cell sonic sensors fitted to a beam 16.4 to 42.6 feet in length. Up to five sensors can be connected to it, depending on the application. Vogele’s Niveltronic systems for automated grade and slope control calculates a mean from the measurements recorded across the entire measuring range, making up for any unevenness over long distances, according to the manufacturer. It is designed so one person can attach it completely in just seven minutes. New clamping fasteners allow mounting without tools.
