Wirtgen’s ‘maximum milling’ HT22 quick-change toolholder system

Wirtgen’s HT22 quick-change toolholder system is said to ensure maximum milling performance and cost -fficient operation. A longer service life and fewer downtimes are achieved through various HT22 features, such as the significantly enlarged contact areas between the upper and lower parts of the toolholder system. Consequently, the high cutting forces are reliably transferred to the lower part of the system, substantially increasing the useful life of the milling drum. A larger shank cross-section a

2395 Wirtgen’s HT22 quick-change toolholder system is said to ensure maximum milling performance and cost -fficient operation.

A longer service life and fewer downtimes are achieved through various HT22 features, such as the significantly enlarged contact areas between the upper and lower parts of the toolholder system.

Consequently, the high cutting forces are reliably transferred to the lower part of the system, substantially increasing the useful life of the milling drum. A larger shank Cross-section and the optimised shank geometry increase the strength of the shank, thus providing greater resistance to undesired deformation. The maximum longitudinal wear of the upper part of the toolholder is also double that of the conventional version. Service intervals have now been extended from 250 hours to 500 hours thanks to the HT22 quick-change toolhandler system's more robust construction.

All new Wirtgen cold milling machines have been equipped with the new HT22 quick-change toolholder system since October 2013. Machines put into service earlier can easily be retrofitted with the new system, providing customers with the Ideal tools for future milling jobs.

    Volvo CE says that lowering fuel consumption will tackle fleet costs and deliver environmental benefits for its customers, Mike Woof reports. Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) is targeting fuel economy and performance with its latest generation of machines. The new L180F and L220F wheeled loader models are being fitted with the sophisticated OptiShift package, which will boost operation and driveline efficiencies and cut fuel consumption by 15%, and more in some instances.

    Airport runway, taxiway and parking areas make high demands on paving requirements, both with concrete and asphalt techniques. Mike Woof reports. High quality surface finishes are required in airport environments for runways, taxiways and aircraft parking areas. Because of the speed at which aircraft take off and land and the massive forces exerted due to the weight of the aircraft, particularly during landing, runway structures need to be incredibly strong. The surfaces also have to be constructed to very

    A Wirtgen slipform paver SP 15i operated fully automatically to produce kerbs near Mobile, in the US state of Alabama, as the company explains. When a new residential area is developed, the individual contract work sections are often very detailed. Roads and paths have to be paved and access roads to the individual plots constructed. Various traffic areas are often separated by concrete structures such as kerbs. These kerbs can be either pre-cast parts or monolithic profiles produced right on the job sit

    Kennametal says that its latest cutter technology offers greater life in hard trenching, milling and extraction applications, while it is also able to offer purpose-built milling drums to suit specific applications. The new MTB1 trenching and MTB2S surface mining tool blocks are offered in long and short body styles and are said to be harder, stronger and easier to use than the firm's earlier TH3 line. The larger, heavy-duty barrel provides rigidity and durability during chain trenching and surface mining.
