LOW COST ROAD REPAIR

REPARATUR VON STRASSEN MIT NIEDRIGEN BAUKOSTEN

The methods used presently are too expensive and not practicable. The problem lies in the high expense involved in getting hot mixed asphalt to the location and in the difficulties which occur when spreading the material. Hot mixed asphalt is produced in large mixing plants. These frequently are far away from the place of repair and in the cold season they are often shut down completely. The result is high transportation costs for hot mixed asphalt or non-availability altogether. Since hot mixed asphalt can only be spread while hot early cooling of the material during spreading causes problems and loss of material. These difficulties are the cause of poor maintenance or nonrepair altogether. Since 1980 Bomag offers a machine that can solve this problem. The Ar 5 asphalt recycler is a small mixing plant mounted on a trailer. It can be towed by a small truck or even a passenger car right to the location. Old asphalt chunks, crushed or milled asphalt pavements are heated up and mixed in the rotating drum of ar 5. Thus scrap material which normally would have to be disposed of is recycled, producing patch material of excellent quality at extremely low cost. (TRRL)
