To achieve a constant asphalt layer thickness, the MOBA Sonic is the optimum solution for regulating the quantity of material in front of the screed. It can be used to control the speed of the auger as well as of the conveyors.
Superior control of materials. Remove the unpleasant surprises from your jobs, use only the amount of asphalt calculated. Increase your production rates. System 5 automatic control means you can keep things moving with confidence. Keep starts and stops to a minimum, keep paver speed at a maximum.
· Works with most full size asphalt pavers . Topcon, innovator of the world's most widely used asphalt paver screed control introduces the next generation of 2D screed control, the P-32 Paver System.
The Cat C3.4 Tier 4 engine with 100 HP delivers quiet power to the 19,500 lb. paver. Independent control of the left and right side feeder system enables variable width paving. The Weiler designed electric screed heat is hydaulically extendable from 8' to 15' 8" and features sonic feed sensors, angle of attack, height and crown adjustments.
The paver operator simply enters the correct station, paver location, and paving direction (increasing or decreasing stations). Once connected to the paver, the Grade Control System controls the tow point hydraulics. The system uses the ground as its reference, controlling one side or both sides of the paver.
The asphalt paver is the principal machine involved in mix laydown and is assisted by the material transfer vehicle (MTV) or material transfer device (MTD) in some instances. ... This type of grade control results in the paver duplicating the reference surface on which the shoe or ski is placed or ultra sonic sensor is aimed.
Since augers play a huge role in material handling on an asphalt paver, proper set up is crucial. The hopper of a paver receives asphalt and the material is then conveyed back to the augers, which distribute the asphalt to the screed.
