A new control system and software help make the latest VSS Macropaver easier to operate

360 VSS Macropaver is introducing an improved version of its successful slurry surfacing equipment, as well as upgraded variants of the mobile Minimac and skid-mounted emulsion plants.

The upgrades to the slurry surfacing machine will increase its performance as well as its ability to handle tough road repair jobs and the unit now features a system for fibre feeding. The firm’s sister company is a contractor and has been using fibres extensively in slurry surfacing applications, allowing repairs on roads that would not otherwise be suitable for slurry technology by improving the road structure. The machine’s reporting capabilities have also been upgraded with new hardware, software and data collection systems, providing contractors with more information about the jobs being handled for later analysis and reference.  Upgrades to the micro-surfacing box allow it to offer a width range from 2.44-4.27m, an extra 300mm over competing machines.
