The new EVO Series of Kleemann track-mounted, mobile impact crushers from Wirtgen America Inc. — along with new HD+ tandem and GRW-class pneumatic rollers from Hamm — is among the nearly 30 new or revised products that will be on display at ConExpo-Con/AGG 2011.
Wirtgen America is moving from the outdoor display area to its 30,800 sq. ft. exhibit inside the Central Hall, Stand No. 5733.
On display will be the MR 110 EVO mobile impact crusher plant, and the Hamm HD+ 110 VO, an all-new 66-in. (167.6 cm) tandem roller, with an operating weight of 11.5 tons (10.4 t), featuring both conventional vibration and Hamm Oscillation compaction.
Also new will be the Hamm GRW 280, an advanced-design eight-wheel pneumatic roller. With an operating weight between 10 and 30 tons (9 to 27 t), the GRW 280 provides increased operator visibility, a new, “intelligent” ballasting concept, and high safety standards, according to the manufacturer.
With the exception of a handful of models, all equipment exhibited will be either new to ConExpo-Con/AGG, or improved while retaining the original model numbers.
Highlights of the Wirtgen America display will include the following machines:
• Kleemann MR 110 Z EVO. The MR 110 Z EVO is a universally adaptable plant, which is suited for processing both blasted natural stone, asphalt and demolition waste, as well as producing a first-class end quality product. Despite its comparatively small crusher inlet dimensions of 3.6 by 2.6 ft. (1 by .7 m), it achieves outputs that up to now were only known to be achievable with larger crushing plants. Maximum input capacities of 350 tph (317.5 t) can be achieved.
The new EVO concept matches refinements for all individual components with a new material flow concept. The new, highly efficient material flow concept of the EVO models eliminates all restriction to the flow of the material throughout the entire plant.
For example, the discharge chute under the crusher is 4 in. (10 cm) wider than the inner width of the crusher, and the subsequent discharge belt is another 4 in. wider than the discharge chute. Material is thus transported quickly and carefully away from the critical area under the crusher, with flow rate increased, and wear reduced.
• Kleemann MC 110 ZS. The MC 110 track-mounted jaw crusher has a high-torque reversible hydraulic jaw and fully hydraulic gap adjustment. The R version has an integrated grizzly and the Z version a fully independent double-deck pre-screen. The machine also can be fitted with an optional final screen and oversize discharge, allowing the operator to produce a final graded product with one machine.
• Hamm HD+ 110 VO. Hamm Compaction Division will introduce an all-new 66-in. tandem roller, in two different weight classes. The new HD+ 110 platform has an operating weight of 11.5 tons, and the new HD+ 90 platform features an operating weight of 10 tons. Both platforms will offer a variety of different options, including conventional vibration, high frequency compaction at 4,020 vpm, Hamm Oscillation compaction, a combination option, and even a split-drum option. The HD+ 110 VO incorporates vibration and Oscillation in a single platform.
It will be joined by Hamm’s HD+ 120 VV HF and HD+ 140 VV rollers. These new articulated tandem compactors — with respective operating weights of 13.2 and 15.4 tons (12 and 14 t) have increased cabin space, enhanced visibility conditions for the driver, and impressive performance data, according to the manufacturer.
• GRW 280. The GRW 280 pneumatic (rubber-tired) roller from Hamm, has an operating weight between 10 and 30 tons. In the operator’s workplace, instead of the previous setup with two seats, the new GRW offers one comfortable, adjustable seat and thus maximum freedom of movement. Viewing channels in the frame structure offer a view of the edges and the tires of the outer wheels. Suspension of the front wheels allows for an uninterrupted view towards the front.
• Wirtgen W 200 and W 210. The new W 200 single engine model is a large but compact milling machine that can be equipped with milling drum assemblies of 59 in. (150 cm), 79 in. (200 cm), or 87 in. (221 cm) working width. Three selectable engine speeds enable a broad range of applications, such as large-scale surface course rehabilitation, complete pavement removal at full depth, fine milling, and many others.
The W 200 has a milling depth of 0 to13 in. (0 to 33 cm) and is powered by a single engine generating 550 hp (410 kW). Its operating weight is 59,934 lbs. (27,185 kg) with half-full water tank, half-full fuel tank, a 165-lb. driver and tools.
Like the W 200, the new W 210 dual engine model is a large but compact milling machine, which can be equipped with milling drum assemblies of 59, 79, or 87 in. working width. But unlike the W 200, the W 210 boasts a fuel-saving drive concept utilizing two diesel engines, generating a total of 671 hp (500 kW) with both engines engaged. Like the W 200, it features three selectable engine speeds which enable a broad range of applications. Its operating weight is 62,138 lbs. (28,185 kg).
• Wirtgen SP 15 and SP 25 Concrete Slipform Pavers. The SP 15 has a maximum paving width of 6 ft. (1.8 m), maximum curb/parapet placement height of 4 ft. 2 in. (1.3 m), and weighs 25,000 lb. (11,340 kg). It has trimming capacity, quick on-site changes for left or right side pouring, job site mobility, and pours a tight, smooth radius with all-track steering and positioning. The SP 15 also features an Eco mode, which matches engine rpm to machine power requirements, thus saving fuel and reducing emissions, according to the manufacturer.
The SP 25 has a maximum paving width of 12 ft. (3.6 m), maximum curb/parapet placement height of 6 ft., and weighs 35,000 lb. (15,876 kg). It also features quick on-site changes to left or right side pouring. The machine’s modular design allows for a wide array of applications with either three or four tracks. It also features an Eco mode which matches engine rpm to machine power requirements, thus saving fuel and reducing emissions.
• Re-engineered Hamm Compact Line. The re-engineered Compact Line features significant changes “under the hood” that will boost performance and productivity, according to the manufacturer.
Models of the new compact line — with drum sizes from 31 to 54-in. (79 to 137 cm)-wide — are just as user-friendly and functional as ever, but now are quieter and more powerful.
Featured at ConExpo will be the 54-in. HD 14 VV; the 51-in. (129 cm) HD 13 VT, a combination model with smooth drum in front, and four smooth pneumatic tires in rear; the 47-in. (119 cm) HD 12 VV; the 39-in. (99 cm) HD 10C VV; and the 31.5-in. (80 cm) HD 8 VV.
In 2010 the compact line drive train was redesigned. All models were upgraded to the new, engines. In the HD 13 and HD 14 models, Hamm has increased the engine power by 15 percent. New drive train components have brought about only minor changes to the external design of the machines.
• Vision Pavers from Vögele America Inc. The Vision Series includes the 10-ft. (3 m) tracked Vision 5200-2 and wheeled Vision 5203-2, and the 8-ft. (2.4 m) tracked Vision 5100-2 and wheeled Vision 5103-2. Pavers of the vision series are quiet, cool and productive.
Operators will benefit from outstanding forward visibility, with all-around visibility without turning. The slope of the machine and hood have been designed so the operator can see the sides, the hopper, and the conveyors in the back, without having to move around.
• Super 700 Paver. The Super 700 — with electrically heated AB 200 V screed — packs big features in a small package. This paver combines highway class technology in a compact package perfectly suited for paving cart, bike and walking paths, confined areas, repair of milled areas and conventional commercial applications. Unique to the Super 700 is its ability to drive through an opening less than 4 ft. (1.2 m) in width, pave within 2 in. (5 cm) of boundaries, and drive in a footprint of 43 in. (109 cm). Also, it can be operated with one person, and has two positions at which the operator can stand, either on the screed, or on an elevated platform.
• Super 1800-2 SprayJet. The Super 1800-2 SprayJet paver offers improved technology for placement of sophisticated pavement preservation surfaces like ultrathin bonded wearing courses and other powerful spray technologies. The Super 1800-2 SJ permits spraying of a tack coat and asphalt paving to take place in one pass, promoting optimum bonding between layers, keeping the job site clean, and eliminating the tack coat truck from the paving train.
With removal of the optional SprayJet module, the Super 1800-2 becomes a high-performance paver which can place hot mix asphalt, cement- or lime-treated bases, and roller-compacted concrete.
• Wirtgen W 150. The W 150 is a large but compact milling machine that can optionally be fitted with milling drums of 4 ft., 4 ft. 3 in. (1.30 m) or 5 ft. (1.50 m) working width, letting the W 150 be used for a variety of different applications such as milling large surfaces, removing pavement layers at full depth, or leveling. Cutting depth is zero to 13 in. (0 to 33 cm).
• Wirtgen W 120 F. Whether wheel-driven or track-driven, the W 120 F is a road milling machine with mechanically driven milling drum of up to 48 in. wide, and cutting depth of 13 in. The machine is equipped with permanent all-wheel drive as a standard feature.
• W 50 DC. The deep-cutting W 50 DC cuts 8 in. (20 cm) deep and a variety of widths up to 20 in. (51 cm). The Deutz 123 hp (91.7 kW) diesel engine is combined with a more robust 17,000-lb. (7,711 kg) design, 7-in. (17.8 cm) turning radius and standard rear loading conveyor.
• WR 2400. The WR 2400 is a mid-sized stabilizer/reclaimer. This 571 hp (425.6 kW)-class, high-performance and versatile machine lets contractors cut up to 20 in. (50.8 cm) deep at a 95-in. (241 cm) cutting width. It stabilizes with both emulsion and foamed asphalt, and can be equipped with a high capacity water pump for dry soil conditions and cement or lime stabilization projects.
• Wirtgen 3800 CR. The new Model 3800 CR from Wirtgen America Inc. offers the ability to cold-in-place recycle a full-lane of pavement in one pass, stabilizing with either foamed asphalt “green mix”, or any other stabilizing medium such as asphalt emulsion or lime or cement slurry, but with a twist: with a conveyor mounted, it also will serve as a full-lane cold-mill. The 3800 CR utilizes the same platform as the 2200 CR, but is supplied with a full-lane, 12-ft., 6-in. (3.8 m)-wide drum.
