To make optimum use of the machine’s potential, WIRTGEN offer a variety of different milling drum types which differ in their tool spacing and the maximum possible milling depth, which are determined by the application.
Soil stabilisation improves the geotechnical properties of the soil, increasing its bearing capacity and creating a stable foundation for the surface layer.
Intuitive operating concepts enhance operator comfort, thus increasing the productivity of both man and machine. The requirements on simplicity, clarity, comfort and efficiency therefore play an ever-increasing role in product development. WIRTGEN offers customers perfectly engineered operating concepts which allow the machine operator to handle the machine intuitively after only a short training period.
With electric rollers, HAMM is responding to the growing demand for alternative drive technologies in road construction and earthworks. The machines enable compaction without local exhaust emissions at the site and are characterised by their quiet operation.
A thermal mixing process turns aggregates and bitumen into asphalt for road construction. We explain the process and different types of equipment used.
Even More Possibilities | 2000-2009 | Company history | Wirtgen GmbH
WIRTGEN focuses on expanding its leading position in milling, cold recycling, and mining, as well as capturing a greater share of the concrete paving market.
The potential for saving energy is one of the most important drivers of this trend: warm mix asphalt (WMA) as a road construction material is currently becoming more and more important. Technologies and solutions from the Wirtgen Group are the perfect response to this trend – and play an important role in ensuring that the production and utilisation of lower-temperature mixes is achieveable with conventional methods and equipment.
Cold recycling with foamed bitumen has become an established technology worldwide and is now increasingly moving into the focus of road authorities and construction companies for use in the rehabilitation and new construction of road pavements. Cold recycling with foamed bitumen produces flexible and highly durable base layers. Being a part of the pavement structure, these are the perfect foundation for the final asphalt overlay to be built at reduced layer thickness. Foamed bitumen is produced from approx. 175 °C hot road-grade bitumen using state-of-theart technology. Microprocessor-controlled injection systems installed in the WIRTGEN recyclers produce the foamed bitumen and inject it into the mineral aggregate in precisely metered quantities.
SPECTIVE CONNECT is the logical extension of SPECTIVE because it moves the user interface of the crusher into the excavator or wheel loader and thus directly to the operator.
Digital solutions from the Wirtgen Group – Precision Construction Solutions
Precision Construction stands for a data-driven approach to road construction that intelligently integrates digital terrain models, connected machines, process data and automation. It enables us to make road construction processes more precise, more efficient, safer and more consistent in terms of quality – from planning and execution to documentation and analysis.
In all applications, the MCO 90(i) EVO2 is characterised by easy operability thanks to SPECTIVE and SPECTIVE CONNECT. Do you wish to find out more? We have compiled all the important information for you:
