SLIPFORM PAVERS

Concrete mixers are typically used for delivering concrete into the slipform paver’s receiving hopper when paving in offset application. The concrete is transported to the offset mould in a continuous operation either via a slewable charging conveyor or via a slewable feeding auger. Electrically or hydraulically driven vibrators are installed in the mould in accordance with customer specifications. They are capable of compacting concrete material of many different grades uniformly by means of high-frequency vibrations. The paving mould produces the monolithic profile while the slipform paver moves forward, producing a concrete structure of uniform, superior quality and excellent finish.

SURFACE MINERS

Nowadays, Wirtgen is the market leader in this segment, offering a technically mature product portfolio for opencast mining which has been tried and tested in operations around the globe. Wirtgen surface miners offer cutting widths ranging from 2.20 m to 4.20 m and cutting depths of between 20 cm and 83 cm. Wirtgen is the only manufacturer covering a scope of performance ranging up to 3,000 tonnes per hour with direct loading by conveyor belt.

WIRTGEN REMIXER

Many different kinds of surface damage like wheel ruts, cracking, poor skid resistance or pavement irregularities are removed effectively at depths of up to 4 cm. Provided the subgrade is still intact and stable, the Remixer 4500 hot recycler rehabilitates such pavements quickly, economically and in line with ecological principles. In just a single pass, this compact large machine removes the preheated surface course, mixes it with new asphalt and binding agents as and when required, and places it again immediately thereafter. The end result of this innovative in-situ processing method is a new, high-quality layer with the same performance characteristics as a surface course produced using a conventional process.

SOIL STABILIZERS AND COLD RECYCLERS

The finely graduated Wirtgen WR series includes a tailored solution for any soil stabilization and cold recycling job. As a result, these machines are ideally suited to the powerful, large-scale stabilization of ground with insufficient bearing capacity. The stabilization process converts poor-quality soil into a premium construction material. Cement, lime and water are possible additives or binding agents.

LARGE MILLING MACHINES

To ensure the removal of the surfacing at the precisely specified height, the levelling system continuously compares the actual milling depth with the pre-set setpoint value and ensures that the latter is complied with
