| BOMAG introduces new mid-size paver BOMAG introduced new 814-2 mid-size class, self-propelled asphalt paver. Built with the new Unimat 2 screed assembly that offers an 8- to 14-foot standard paving width, the 814-2 is able to handle a wide variety of applications - from paving secondary roads and city streets to small asphalt repair and resurfacing jobs. The screed extensions are hydraulically controlled, allowing operators to change paving widths 'on-the-go' within the entire paving range. The 814-2 is powered by an 85-horsepower, water-cooled Cummins turbo diesel engine. Combined with an exclusive load-sensing hydraulic system that delivers power only when needed, the paver can maintain high paving speeds up to 180 feet per minute and travel speeds up to 360 feet per minute, all while remaining highly fuel efficient. The 814-2's screed design utilizes a formed leading edge that maximizes material flow and makes it possible to pave at depths ranging from 0 to 6 inches. The screed can be crowned or inverted up to 2 inches for maximum paving control, and is equipped with a vibrator and propane heaters to assure consistent material flow. Hydraulic depth controls and urethane track pads are also standard. The screed extensions are fitted with material augers. Designed to provide steady and reliable material delivery at all paving widths, the augers are reversible and can be controlled automatically or manually. The 814-2 features a low-deck configuration with dual operator's stations to simplify control and increase visibility. The paver can be operated from either side of the platform, or both at the same time. Additionally, machine controls are laid out for maximum operator comfort and ease of use. Featuring an 8-ton capacity dual-slat conveyor system, the 814-2's hopper can be raised more than 6-feet high for complete access to the crawler system undercarriage. This simplifies required maintenance and cleaning, while allowing for conveyor and track-chain adjustment without having to crawl underneath the paver. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
