Intended Use
An Asphalt Paver is a machine that is used for road construction. The Asphalt Paver typically uses bulk material for the placement of paved surfaces. Most commonly, hot mix asphalt is supplied by vehicle delivery to the pavers front hopper. The AP1055E Asphalt Paver is a heavy-duty paver that can place paving surfaces for many applications. The Asphalt paver can be used for numerous applications such as roads, city streets, parking lots, highways, and motorways. The Asphalt Paver accepts delivery of asphalt mix from a truck or transport vehicle at the front. The asphalt paver then contains the mix in a hopper. Slat conveyors transport the mix from the hopper to the rear of the machine. The mix flows onto the ground ahead of the screed. The screed shapes the mix to specified dimensions. The screed also levels the mix to specified dimensions. The slope and the grade of the asphalt surface is precisely controlled by sensors and references that are mounted on the paver. This system achieves a high degree of flatness. The paver can be configured with different types of screeds to satisfy common requirements for the customer.Dimensions
