This increases the degree of automation in the overall process, boosting working efficiency.

In addition, the new VARIO injection bar for binding agents allows the user to regulate the injection pressure of water and bitumen to achieve more homogeneous distribution in the mixing chamber.

The Resource Efficiency System combines an automatic steering system and digital project site documentation in a single app, improving the cost-effectiveness and resource-efficiency of soil stabilisation and recycling operations. The satellite-based guidance system allows precise and efficient completion of project tasks and steers the machine with precision measured in centimetres on the basis of a previously calculated reference cut and a predefined overlap of adjacent cuts. At the same time, location-specific parameters are recorded to generate a database for site analysis and documentation.

Parameters such as working width and depth, distance and area worked and fuel consumption are recorded. The system is scalable, which means that other machines such as rollers and compactors involved in the process can also benefit from the data.
