/ / Main road construction equipment - road milling machine

The main equipment for road construction works is a road mill.

Wearing over time, any pavementnot only brings discomfort to road users, but also becomes a threat to their safety. For various road construction or repair works, special equipment is used, including a road mill.

Это оборудование предназначено для устранения asphalt layer by loosening and grinding. The use of such special equipment allows you to perform work quickly and efficiently. The road milling cutter removes the worn out pavement layer by layer, removes a variety of defects - cracks, bumps or hollows, forms a longitudinal / transverse profile of asphalt concrete.

The milling cutter is an essential tool inarsenal of road construction equipment. Repair and construction work on highways, bridges, squares, when laying communication lines or over the emergency section of the pipeline practically does not do without the use of such equipment. With the help of this technique, it is possible to level the floors in industrial workshops or warehouses.

Modern car models arecombine with a milling drum, which is located between the four drive tracks. Rotating, the drum, equipped with incisors, is immersed into the pavement at the required depth, destroying and removing it layer by layer. Each unit of equipment has containers for collecting the removed material (they are suitable for recycling) and a conveyor intended for loading the milled asphalt concrete pavement into the back of another vehicle.

Road mills, according to the accepted classification, are divided into two types:

  1. Гусеничные модели техники, как правило, operated on motorways. They are distinguished by their heavy construction. The width of the drum is 1500-2100 mm, and the maximum depth of the milling work - 32 cm.
  2. Wheel milling thanks to its compactsizes, can be used in a limited space and are suitable for work on sidewalks, adjoining areas and other cramped places. The width of the drum in these machines is much smaller than that of tracked vehicles - from 500 to 1500 mm.

Such universal equipment as a millice breaking road, used not only in winter to clean roads from ice and rolled snow layer, but also in summer, during restoration work on gravel or dirt roads or to eliminate the effects of spring thaw.

A convenient control system allows you to performrepair work with high accuracy, carefully cutting off worn asphalt concrete pavement even in hard-to-reach places - near curbs or walls. The milling cutter is characterized by high performance, ease of operation and reliability. Modern and efficient road equipment has a wide range. The most popular brands of this special equipment include the following: Wirtgen, Volvo, Bitelli, Cartepillar, Raiko - these companies, constantly working to improve the production equipment, offer innovative solutions.
