Ran milling machine 32 yrs and seeing this one run backwards is new to me

Its made to be run in both forward and reverse. When it runs this way it uses a down cut which provides finer material and less loss on the screening plant for recycling. Your machine is a up cut and much faster than this operation and is used for straight milling. Your machine tends to provide more loss at the screen than the down cut. The upper cut tends to pick-up alligator cracking and delaminations without breaking the material very fine so it becomes loss at the screen.

I really like that water truck that's in the very beginning of the video.

I saw a machine (German?) demonstrated online that shaves off the old asphalt, processes it and lays it down. All that is left is to use a roller and let it cure (in short time).

Damn, that black truck was hauling ass, came close to that worker. Only one roller used?

No, three rollers. same as you would use for hotmix

who thought it was a good idea to hang a coat on your precision leveling bar... did it throw off the cross slope any, or did it compensate for it ?

That gold on the wirtgen is sweet

With Pulverizer do u repave after?

Yes, one lift of base asphalt and one lift of seal asphalt.

Interesting

What percent water are you typicallyy running on the train ?

@Ober447

The mix contains around 3% water. This % varies with the material but generally it runs around 3 %.

Thank you ! That"s about what I generally run 1-3 %

Just curious...why is the third roller used when there will be a final mat of asphalt covering everything? Does your rubber tire leave any waves along it’s finished surface or will there be a good stretch of time before final/top mat? In Northwestern Ontario on my job sites we had a 50 ton breakdown followed by a 20 ton rubber tire on both base mat and final. HL4 mix.(virgin base..no reclaim) Inspection was completely sufficient. Oh and that machine ‘propelling’ the trailer hopper, is that an old converted steel roller?..it’s hard to see in the phone picture.

We use three rollers for maximizing compaction because as you are aware your hotmix overlay compaction cannot exceed the base compaction values. The breakdown roller here is approximately a 25 ton (half the curb weight of your 50 tonner) so the last roller is required for compaction. The finish roller does also remove the rubber tire marks as you mentioned. The storage trailer is being hauled by an old Roadtec steel wheeled Aztec Paver (screed and hopper removed) converted to haul the trailer to save money

Accidentally got here by adding another zero to my search.

What's the fuel burn per hour operating the entire train?

over 2 years later hows it holding up?

I got crack seal down the center joint last summer and has very little reflective cracking which is where this process shines.

Pulverizer rotfl its called a road/soil reclaimer

i want the second in line tanker truck drivers job

You really don’t need sound with this piece, just the narration, imho.

🤡dumb question. does the milling machine propel the whole outfit along?

The Milling machine pushes the two tankers only, the rest of the gear is self propelled.
