WIRTGEN WPS62I – PLACER/SPREADER
If reinforcement needs to be laid in advance during the construction of concrete roadways, the concrete can be fed in laterally using a placer/spreader. The placer/spreader travels in front of the slipform paver over the pre-placed reinforcement, while a truck mixer feeds the belt conveyor with concrete from the side. The concrete is poured evenly over the pre-placed reinforcement, in front of the slipform paver, and distributed across the entire working width. Once the truck mixer is empty, the belt conveyor can be folded away in a very short time to clear the path for the next mixer.
HIGH-PERFORMANCE SIDE FEEDING AND HOMOGENEOUS SPREADING OF CONCRETE
•The cost-effective two-track placer/spreader is designed for high-performance concrete feeding at widths of 12 ft to 24 ft and thicknesses of 19.7 in (500 mm).
•The machine concept with a hydraulically telescoping machine frame and concrete strikeoff unit makes the machine highly adaptable to any job site situation.
•The powerful, fast folding feeder conveyor features an intelligent control concept and guarantees maximum concrete availability for the slipform paver following behind it.
•The fully modular machine design comes standard-equipped with hydraulic quick-change couplings for easy conversion, rapid transport, and maximum machine availability.
•The machine can be precisely controlled via stringline scanning, via 3D applications without a stringline, or via WIRTGEN Autopilot 2.0.
