Independent Material Handling System Promotes Hands-Free Operation
The material handling system promotes hands-free operation by providing features such as
independent control of each auger and each conveyor.
Precise Mix Delivery. The material delivery system provides
precise mix delivery with minimal operator monitoring. The
left and right conveyors in addition to the left and right augers
are controlled independently.
Outboard-Mounted Conveyor Drives. The conveyors have
outboard-mounted motors, reducers and drive chains that
maximize the tunnel area and reduce segregation.
Independent Auger Drive. The auger drive assembly is
independent of the tractor, which allows the distance between
the two conveyors to be significantly reduced. Keeping the
conveyors close together allows the material to flow together
more easily as it discharges into the auger cavity. The tunnel
and auger design eliminates voids under the chain case in order
to minimize segregation.
Adjustable Auger Range. The auger assembly is hydraulically
adjustable with a range up to 215 mm. The ability to adjust
the auger assembly simplifies loading and unloading from a
transport vehicle. Also, when working with larger stone
mixes, the augers can be adjusted to allow the mix to flow
unrestricted under the auger assembly.
Power Folding Front Apron (Optional). The front hopper apron
folds rearward providing good material flow. It reduces clean
out effort and time, a feature the crew will really appreciate.
A switch located on the operating control console provides
power to the hydraulic folding apron.
Note: The front hopper apron is standard without the power
control and folding wings. Manual operation is required.
Adjustable Push Rollers. The four position adjustable push
rollers provide a contact point between the paver and the truck
to center the load and assist steering while unloading.
