The Asphalt Recycling Machine reheats the damaged pavement surfaces to a workable temperature via a radiant convection heat source. Utilizing a series of contoured blades the asphalt is lifted and dislodged 2 inches into the pavement.
Immediately an asphalt emulsion is added and mixed in a heated on-‐board plant. While the asphalt is still hot it is laid and compacted to the original grade all in a single pass.
The rear axle is designed as a full aloating tubular hydraulic-wheel motor lift and the front axle is rigidly attached to the chassis.
The Asphalt Recycling Machine is equipped with front wheel steering and articulation. Both the front and rear of the machine can be moved independently for added control and safety.
Braking is achieved by drag from the six-wheel electric brake system.
Wheel lifts are engaged with the wheels of the machine to provide vertical adjustment. The wheel lifts allow each wheel to be independently raised and lowered to a desired height, thereby altering the distance between the machine components and the asphalt surface.
The Asphalt Recycling Machine is equipped with two hydrostatically driven axles. The travel speed can be infinitely varied from zero to maximum speed in both operating gear and travel gear. Switching from travel gear to operating gear is effected hydraulically.
The Asphalt Recycling Machine includes a airst frame member having a tapered end and connected to a second frame structure having a tapered end. The tapered frame design and articulating pin connection allows the Asphalt Recycling Machine to operate around curved and cornered surfaces.
A radiant convection-heating unit on the first frame structure heats and softens the damaged surface to be recycled. The heating unit includes a plurality of ceramic burners each housed within the aiber block. The burners are fueled by a liquid propane tank housed on the machine and utilize 50/50 fuel to air ratio.
The softened pavement is scarified by the rotating shafts, which are equipped with cutting tools, and is then augured into the machine by the associated scraper blades. The working width can be continuously adjusted hydrostatically.
An on‐board asphalt plant on the Asphalt Recycling Machine receives and reconditions the reclaimed asphalt with the admixture. The on-board mixer plant includes trommel to separate usable reclaimed asphalt from unusable reclaimed asphalt.
The recycled asphalt is discharged from the on-board plant and spread by a height‐adjustable spreading auger prior to be placed true to grade and slope and pre-compacted by the paving screed.
The operator’s platform is located at the rear of the Asphalt Recycling Machine on both the right and left sides. Multiple control panels can be operated from both left and right.
12V electrical system with 12V alternator and 12V hydraulically drive AC generator and comprehensive working lights including flashing beacon.
