Power
Unit
Kirloskar / Simpson / equivalent water cooled / air cooled diesel engine of
adequate horse-power provided with 12 volts electrical starting system.
Transmission
Through a multiple clutch and a 4-Speed Gearbox to an auxiliary low, high &
reverse Gearbox & differential unit provided with differential locking
facility. Final drive from the differential to the wheels is through roller
chain and sprocket mechanism. Hydraulic Traction option also available.
Hoppers
Hoppers have low dump clearance to handle all type of trucks. The wings are
raised or lowered hydraulically to give a smaller overall width for
transportation and for self-cleaning action during feeding of the asphaltic
concrete onto the conveyor.
Conveyor
Twin bar conveyors are provided to feed the material from hopper on to the
screws (augers). The conveyors can be independently controlled.
Spreading Screws (Augers)
The asphaltic concrete flows from the main hopper into another hopper
containing the augers. These augers are adjustable to cover the full width
of the paved surface and each side has independent control.
Optional Tamper
Initial compaction of the material is effected through the optional tamper.
The tamper is actuated by means of eccentric journals mounted on sturdy
roller bearings.
Screed
A heated, fully floating, hydraulically operated and vibrating screed is
provided, covering the full length of the paved width. It ensures a
predetermined thickness of the asphaltic concrete layer by striking off the
excess material. The screed is adjustable for height and camber.
Controls
All controls are provided within easy reach of the operator from a
comfortable driving seat.
General
The material specifications of all parts is as per ISI recommendations viz.
abrasion-resistant steels for hopper, conveyor, auger screws, tamper, screed
etc., all gears and sprockets are of requisite quality of steel and properly
heat-treated. Easy accessibility to all parts for maintenance, inspection
and overhaul has been given utmost importance in design.
Standard Equipment
Oil pressure meter, water temperature meter, ampere meter, 12 volt horn,
full extensions for screws, screed and tamper, hour meter, edger plates,
guides, cut-off shoes, bevel edges, screed heater, spray down equipment,
comprehensive tool kit, operator hand book, semi rotary fuel pump for
