Wirtgen offers sophisticated concrete paving system

Versatility and high performance are key features of the new SP84i slipform paver from Wirtgen. The machinie runs on four steerable crawler tracks and features its mould fitted between the crawler tracks. With a power output of 180kW, the machine can use electric and hydraulic vibration to pave roadways and surfaces and concrete can be selectively distributed by the spreading plough or spreading auger. Wirtgen slipform pavers can be used to lay concrete pavements with a double cross fall of up to 3%.

Wirtgen has developed a sophisticated concrete paving machine
Versatility and high performance are key features of the new SP84i slipform paver from 2395 Wirtgen. The machinie runs on four steerable crawler tracks and features its mould fitted between the crawler tracks. With a power output of 180kW, the machine can use electric and hydraulic vibration to pave roadways and surfaces and concrete can be selectively distributed by the spreading plough or spreading auger. Wirtgen slipform pavers can be used to lay concrete pavements with a double Cross fall of up to 3%.
The modular machine construction allows contractors to suit the machine to an array of applications. And like the existing Wirtgen SP15i and SP25i compact pavers, the SP 84i is equipped with the firm’s WI-Control system.

The machine control system can automatically recognise the configuration and set the optimum parameters accordingly. It also allows the machine to be connected with the customer's own fleet management system through a standard interface. The engine management system reduces fuel consumption and noise emissions by adapting output to the requirements of the application. Wirtgen also offers the smooth slope system which increases the precision of paving while allowing short machine response times.

    A new, patented Aggregates Cooling System (ACS) was one of the main taking points on the stand of asphalt and concrete plant manufacturer Lintec at Conexpo. Lintec has just sold its first ever plant to concrete manufacturer Emirates Beton in Dubai. When mixing concrete in warm climates, aggregate has to be cooled in order to maintain the performance and quality of the finished product, explained Lintec managing director Carsten Weiss: “If you don’t cool it, you don’t get the strength at the end,” he said. “

    Hatz has boosted diesel engine efficiency with an all-new four-cylinder 2litre platform that combines low weight with low fuel consumption and meets Tier 4 Final/Stage IV emissions regulations without the need for a DPF. Called the 4H50TIC, the new engine uses two-valve cylinder head design to cut frictional losses, while opting for lower injection pressures of 1,800bar to contribute towards improved fuel efficiency.

    Wirtgen’s novel inspection system offers a quick indication of wear rates on the cutting tools of the firm’s surface miners. Called the Wirtgen Pick Inspection (WPI) system, this tool comprises eight sensors that can make fast measurements and which are integrated into the cutting drum compartment of the surface miner. The sensors measure the degree of wear of the picks and the measuring process takes just one minute to complete, allowing it to carried out while changing trucks and reducing downtimes. The W
