Wet Mix Paver Finisher
A Wet Mix Paver Finisher is a type of construction machinery used to lay wet mix macadam (WMM) or similar base courses for road construction. Unlike traditional asphalt paving, the wet mix paver finisher is designed to handle a mixture of aggregates, water, and binding materials that form the sub-base or base layers of a road. These mixtures are typically used as a foundation for asphalt or concrete layers in road construction, providing strength, durability, and stability to the surface.
The Wet Mix Paver Finisher has several key components that help in spreading, leveling, and compacting the wet mix uniformly across the road surface:
Key Components of a Wet Mix Paver Finisher:
- Hopper: The large storage compartment where the wet mix is loaded before it is transferred to the spreading system.
- Feeder and Conveyor System: This system moves the wet mix from the hopper to the auger and spreading units.
- Auger: The auger ensures the even distribution of the wet mix across the full width of the paver.
- Screed: The screed is responsible for leveling and compacting the wet mix as it is laid. It ensures the base layer is smooth and compacted to the required thickness.
- Hydraulic Controls: These are used to adjust the screed’s height, thickness, and paving width for better precision during the paving process.
- Operator’s Cabin: The cabin provides a control station for the operator to adjust settings and monitor the paver’s progress.
