Roadtec Anti-Segregation Elements |
|
|
Independent Auger Assembly
Each Auger is driven by its own motor. This not only allows the distance between the conveyers to be kept to a minimum but also the distance between the augers. The gap between the augers and the end of the conveyers is also kept as small as possible so that material is conveyed into the augers and not on the ground. |

Outboard Conveyer Drive
Hydraulic motors drive the conveyers by a chain which allows them to be located above the feed tunnel. This makes for easier access and allows for a wider conveyer tunnel. A wider conveyer tunnel disperses material over the augers more evenly, which prevents segregation. The motors can be controlled independent of the feeders by screed operators to decrease the pile at the end of each pull.

Side Sheets and Delta Plate
The use of one continuous side sheet on each side to construct the tunnel wall and rear of the paver not only greatly increases the rigidity of the frame but it also helps battle segregation. The rounded corner on the back of the tunnel as opposed to a sharp welded corner prevents mix from eddying which causes segregation. The delta plate removes mix from the conveyers and provides a wall underneath the conveyers preventing mix from rolling forward.
