The dual operator stations provide complete control and good visibility to truck drivers from either side of the operating platform. Station transfer occurs with the simple press of a button and all the settings automatically transfer, making the transition from side to side very easy.

BENEFITS AND FEATURES

Better Visibility, Exceptional Comfort The dual independent operating stations can extend beyond the frame for good all-around visibility. The low profile, front-mounted cooling system improves forward viewing and the redesigned auger assembly optimizes visibility to material height in front of the screed. The heated seat option, multiple seat adjustments, and tilting consoles conform to the operator to provide day-long comfort. Also, the top-mounted cooling system directs fumes, hot air, and fan noise away from the crew for a cooler and quieter working environment.

Fumes Management System The exclusive ventilation system draws fumes from the conveyor tunnel as well as the auger chamber and redirects them away from the operator for a more comfortable working environment.

The water resistant displays provide excellent reliability and meet IP67 common water submergence ratings. The switches have been tested to one million cycles without failure. If a failure does occur, grouped components are serviceable and it's not necessary to replace the entire console.

BENEFITS AND FEATURES

Single Touch Operation Single touch features for the auto-fill feeder system, feeder system activation, and hopper control, allow operators to concentrate on truck exchanges and other duties for improved efficiency.

Simple Technology Technology helps operators perform. Intuitive symbols and large graphics simplify operation., while the interactive LCD display with touchscreen access to generator activation, screed temperature control, and mix height adjustment, increase efficiency.

High production features include large throughput capacity and over-sized feeder components that enable the system to run slower, limiting wear while also reducing fuel consumption.

BENEFITS AND FEATURES

Auto-Fill Feeder System Simplifies starts by alternating the conveyors and augers until the mix height reaches the sensor point.

Single Touch Feeder System Automatically activates the entire feeder system with a single button for better efficiency.

One Touch Hopper Control The hopper wings and hydraulic apron can be folded with a single touch and release. The system can be tailored to activate left or right wings, or the front hydraulic apron independently or together.

Cleanout and Warm-Up Mode This feature activates the augers, conveyors, and tamper-bar (if equipped) at a reduced speed, allowing the application of release agents to prevent material build-up.

Mix Height Adjustment Mix height adjustment in front of the screed can be modified from the tractor LCD display for increased versatility when needed.

Hydraulic Mainframe Extensions The optional 457 mm (18") hydraulic mainframe extensions attach to the auger assembly and provide smooth material flow out to the extenders. They retract with the screed extensions when reducing paving widths.

Multiple Feed Sensor Options The feeder system can be tailored to automatically operate with 0, 2, or 4 feed sensors. When paving with 0 sensors due to a failure, simply set the feeder system to automatic and adjust the mix height setting, no need to cycle the manual switch as previous models required.

Easier Service Hardware-free bed plates simplify replacement and bottom side mounting hardware for the chain gaurds eliminates bolt wear and material build-up for easier replacement.

Quick reacting speed control ensures that responsive power is immediately available.

BENEFITS AND FEATURES

Power Turning System A postion sensor located in the left steering cylinder helps maintain consistent travel speeds when making turns by adjusting the drive speed of the propel motors according to the steering angle of the front wheels. This unique system leads to better mat quality and less wear on the drive system.

Four-Wheel Drive Provides power to the front bogie wheels for additional traction. A dedicated pump delivers a 50% increase in torque over previous models.

All-Wheel Drive Provides power to the front and rear bogie wheels. It delivers a 200 % increase in pull force over the previous models.

The SE-Series screeds provide new heating technology, increased durability, easy adjustment, and better efficiency. The screeds are available with tamper bars and vibration or vibration only.

BENEFITS AND FEATURES

Screed Heat Technology Exclusive zone monitoring allows heating to continue in the event of a temperature sensor failure. The system also monitors heating elements for failure conditions, eliminating unnecessary replacement.

Easy Adjustment Feeder system ratio adjustment capability from the screed provides versatility. Standard hydraulic adjustment for extender height, slope, and crown, allows for on-the-go adjustment at standard and maximum paving widths.

Two-Speed Proportional Extender Control Exclusive two-speed proportional extender control provides slower speed for precise control around obstacles and quick reaction when extending paving widths.

Better Efficiency The heating elements slide out for easy replacement, no need to remove the screed plates. Machined screed frames simplify plate replacement and leveling.

Tamper Bar Screed Option Tamper bar equipped screeds increase density as it tucks material under the screed plates. Three stroke settings of 2, 4, and 7 mm provide versatility and has a variable tamper speed of 700 to 1800 rpm.

Wide-Width Paving Packages Exclusive power controls simplify adjustment across the entire paving width for better mat texture and quality. An innovative design utilizes extender slope to attach wide-width paving packages, eliminating the need for additional lifting devices.

Cat Grade Control is a factory-integrated guidance system that helps remove irregularities from the surface and control mat thickness for increased production, lower operating costs, and higher profitability.

BENEFITS AND FEATURES
