Engine: The paver finisher is driven by a water cooled diesel engine. For further
details see the technical data and the engine’s instruction manual.
Drive unit
Both caterpillar drives are directly driven by separate drives. They
operate directly, without any drive chains which require maintenance or servicing.
The tension of the caterpillar chains can be readjusted using tensioners.The
height of the paver finisher chassis at the front area can be adjusted with hydraulic
cylinders connecting the drive unit and the chassis, this can fit the material truck
well.
Crawlers can adjust and improve their adhesion properties when travelling on
uneven ground.
Hydraulic system: The diesel engine drives the hydraulic pumps for all main
paver finisher drives via the attached distribution gear and its auxiliary drive shafts.
Travel drive: The continuously adjustable travel drive pumps are connected to the
travel drive engines by means of high pressure hydraulic hoses. These hydraulic
motors drive the caterpillar chains via planetary gears that are mounted directly
inside the drive wheels of the caterpillar chains.
Steering system/operator's platform: The independent hydrostatic travel drives
allow the paver finisher to be turned on the spot.
Electronic synchronous control ensures precise straight-ahead travel.
The operating panel can be hydraulically shifted beyond the left/right outer edge of
the vehicle, providing the driver with a better view of the paving area in this
position.
The entire operating panel can be swivelled for operation beyond the outer edge of
the vehicle, and can be additionally locked in several positions along the control
platform.
Push roller crossbar: The push rollers for material trucks are fastened to a
crossbar that is pivoted at its centre. The hydraulically extendable push roller
crossbar allows different distances to the rear wheels of material trucks to be
infinitely compensated.
The paver finisher thus deviates less from its course and paving in curves is made
easier.
The engageable push roller damping hydraulically absorbs the shocks between
the material truck and paver finisher.
Material compartment (hopper): The hopper inlet is equipped with a conveyor
system that empties the hopper and transfers the material to the auger.
The hopper can hold approx. 17 t.
