Mechanical Paver Finisher
A Mechanical Paver Finisher is a type of asphalt paver that uses mechanical power, typically driven by a diesel engine, to spread, level, and compact hot mix asphalt onto road surfaces during construction. It is designed to lay asphalt at a consistent thickness and width, ensuring a smooth, durable road surface. The mechanical paver finisher is widely used in road construction for laying down the asphalt in a controlled and precise manner.
Unlike more advanced, modern pavers that often incorporate hydraulic systems for greater flexibility, a mechanical paver relies on mechanical linkages and drives to control the various functions, including the feeding of asphalt, spreading, and compaction.
Key components of a Mechanical Paver Finisher include:
- Hopper: The large container where the hot mix asphalt is placed, typically loaded from trucks, to be transferred to the paver.
- Conveyor System: Moves the asphalt from the hopper to the auger system.
- Auger: Distributes the asphalt evenly across the full width of the paver, ensuring uniform coverage.
- Screed: The primary mechanism that levels and compacts the asphalt as it is laid. The screed controls the thickness of the layer and smooths the surface.
- Mechanical Drive System: Uses gears, belts, and other mechanical components to control the forward movement, screed operation, and spreading of asphalt.
- Operator’s Platform: Located on top of the paver, where the operator can control and monitor the machine’s functions, such as speed, paving width, and thickness.
