High productivity for Wirtgen’s mid-size planer

The W 100 CFi, W 120 CFi and W 130 CFi are front loading models that are designed for versatility and high productivity. The W 100 CFi delivers high output and a spokesperson for the firm said, “It’s the most powerful machine in its class and milling output has been increased by 15%.” Power comes from a Tier 4 Final/Stage IV compliant diesel rated at 261kW and which is also economical on fuel, while it features a narrow chassis that is said to help optimise visibility.

Wirtgen is introducing more productive mid-sized mills
The W 100 CFi, W 120 CFi and W 130 CFi from 2395 Wirtgen are front loading models that are designed for versatility and high productivity. The W 100 CFi delivers high output and a spokesperson for the firm said, “It’s the most powerful machine in its class and milling output has been increased by 15%.”

Power comes from a Tier 4 Final/Stage IV compliant diesel rated at 261kW and which is also economical on fuel, while it features a narrow chassis that is said to help optimise visibility. The operator platform can also be moved hydraulically 200mm to the side to provide a better view of the milling drum and the front right-hand crawler. Meanwhile a CCTV system provides visibility of the left-hand milled edge and material discharge.

As with the smaller machines, the LEVEL PRO PLUS system ensures optimum milling quality. The operator benefits from a high visibility, colour screen that displays all relevant working parameters. The machine is said to be easy to operate and manoeuvre in tight spaces as well, due to a mechanism that allows the right-hand rear track to be swivelled.

The machine also has a large conveyor offering a slewing angle of 60° to the left or right, which is of use when working on curves or in constricted areas. The firm also says that for more precise loading, the machine operator can slew the conveyor at two different speeds.

    The mini and midi excavator sector continues to squeeze more out of less, with some innovative engineering solutions being applied to zero- and short-tailswing models - Geoff Ashcroft investigates. It is a vicious circle - customers seek smaller, tighter, ever more compact excavators, leaving manufacturers with the challenges of squeezing greater levels of technology into what is all too often an even smaller machine.

    Brazil’s Ayrton Senna Highway has been rebuilt using cold recycling. Brazil’s SP-070 is also known as the Ayrton Senna Highway and is a major highway in the country, carrying heavy traffic volumes. For its rebuild, the time-saving, cost-efficient and eco-friendly benefits of the cold recycling process have been put to the test. The SP-070 provides a key transport link between São Paulo and Campos do Jordão, Vale do Paraíba and Rio de Janeiro, as well as being the main access route to Guarulhos Interna
