Efficient spray paving

By MJ Woof September 3, 2024 Read time: 1 min
Dynapac is now offering an efficient spray paver machine that can handle both tasks in a single pass

Dynapac SD2500CS PROTAC Spray Paver is designed to handle both paving and spraying in a single pass. This novel machine can apply a layer of tack coat emulsion and a layer of asphalt at the same time. This saves time and cost, while increasing pavement quality. 

The integrated, three-stage heating system brings the emulsion quickly to temperature using minimum power and without damaging the tack coat, while tank heating is synchronised with the electric screed, reducing the time needed to get the machine ready. The 1,200litre emulsion tank is mounted in the middle of the machine, which helps traction and stability as well as allowing a good field of view from the operator station. 

The touchscreen control system is said to be easy to use, while an integrated cleaning system guides the user through the cleaning or blow-off process. Calibrating the spray rates can be handled using the display, as can troubleshooting. These features are connected to the proven automation technologies in Dynapac’s Pave Manager 2 Advanced software. These include screed width control via MatTracker, truck driver communication with TruckAssist or automatic setting memory with SetAssist. 

Customers have a choice of a maximum spray width of 6.5m with V5100 or V6000 Screed Series or having a maximum spray width of 7m with V6000 Screed Series.

    Concrete highway construction techniques and technology continues to evolve. Mike Woof reports The recent increases in oil costs are having a knock-on effect for the road construction sector, as asphalt prices have increased noticeably and faster than those for concrete. This has spurred renewed discussion over which construction technique now offers the best long term solution for road building. The debate between those in favour of concrete and those preferring asphalt for highway construction has been on

    Effective compaction control is one of a series of technical innovations boosting performance efficiency – Mike Woof writes. Maximising compaction efficiency can be a major cost factor on construction projects. Both for soil and asphalt compaction sectors, the risk from leaving an area under or over-compacted is substantial.

    A series of developments in the milling machine market will give customers both greater choice and performance – Mike Woof writes. Competition is heating up in the market for milling machines, which has been dominated for many years by Wirtgen. The German firm still retains a strong share of this market, but is now facing much tougher levels of competition from key rivals, and Atlas Copco, BOMAG, Caterpillar and Roadtec in particular. Meanwhile the market is also seeing the return of another familiar nam

    Sumitomo has developed a larger, high performance paver to meet the needs for productive highway class machines in export markets. The new HA90C-2 is based on the earlier HA90C paver, which was only sold in China and also shares a common design and layout with the existing and well-proven HA60C/W. However the new HA90C-2 offers increased production and performance and has two new screeds allowing more paving options.
