Application Versatility
Common applications include urban and rural roads, streets, airports, highways, and interstates
The standard paving range of 2.55 m – 5 m (8′ 4″ – 16′ 4″) provides excellent performance when changing paving widths for both urban and highway paving applications
Simple, bolt-on extensions offer a maximum paving width of 8 m (26′ 3″)
Simple Operation
Operating displays can be tailored to specific language requirements with multiple options available
Exclusive 2-speed, proportional extender control provides smooth adjustment when transitioning paving widths
Screed operating consoles are equipped with ratio adjustment for the augers and conveyors, providing the ability to modify material flow
Optional power controls for extension height enables operators to quickly manage mat quality
Trailing edge screed plate adjusters help maintain an even plane across the width of the screed in order to enhance paving quality and extend screed plate life
Smooth Material Flow
Enhanced tamper-bar and deflector plate profiles provide smooth flow to the screed plates
Screed plate depths of 324 mm (12.75″) on both the main and extenders provide stability and good mat textures
The heated end gate option helps prevent material from sticking for better edge profiles and joint matching capability
Pave Start Assistant
Pave Start Assistant saves set-up profiles for repeatable use on future job sites, simply activate the profile for quick, single person setup
Set-up preferences include: tamper speed, tow-point height, screed heat temperature, paving speed, paving width, paving depth, crown, extender height (power option), screed assist, and screed locking features
Setup features are located in the left screed display and can also be viewed through right screed display and tractor displays
Quick Heat, Even Distribution
Tractor integrated generator delivers fast, 15-minute screed plate heating for quick starts
Electric heating system with zone monitoring helps ensure even heat distribution and smooth asphalt textures while also allowing heating to continue in the event of a temperature sensor failure
Pendent Control Option
Manual overrides and pause function capability for each auger and each conveyor are available to match changes in material flow requirements
Optional power height functions assist with profile
Automatic Grade Control activation provides flexibility when working on the outer edge of the screed
Grade Control Option
Factory-integrated leveling system that helps remove irregularities from the surface and control mat thickness for increased production, lower operating costs, and higher profitability
User-friendly system with text-based displays, split screen-mode, and on-the-go sensor selection
Precise control driven by 10-point auto-calibration, true averaging with 5 transducers in each sonic sensor, and cross-coupling feature that maintains slope requirements more consistently when changing elevation
