New Wirtgen Cold Mills, Hamm Rollers At World Of Asphalt 2007 March 2007 -- A new mid-sized asphalt cold milling machine will be introduced by Wirtgen America at World of Asphalt 2007 in Nashville March 19-22.
COLD MILLING MACHINES The new Model W 120 F high-performance cold milling machine has a milling width of 4 ft. (120 cm), and replaces the existing W 1200 F/T. It features front-end loading of RAP via a larger two-part conveyor system, and can be equipped with wheels or crawler tracks. The 300-hp Cummins powered machine cuts to 12.6 in. deep and accepts the optional Wirtgen Flexible Cutter System (FCS) for quick exchange of different-width milling drums and bit spacings. It also can be equipped with the optional new Level-Pro leveling system. Also displayed will be the smaller Model W 50 DC. It's a productive cutting machine with a cut depth of 8.3 in. and standard drum diameter of 29.5 in.
ASPHALT PAVERS The new Vögele Super 700 asphalt paver will be displayed. With its electrically heated AB 200 V screed, this innovative new 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. in width, pave within 2 in. of boundaries, and drive in a footprint of 43 in. Also displayed will be the 2116T asphalt paver. The Vögele 2116T rubber track paver offers contractors higher speeds, smoother rides and better handling in an 8-to 21-ft. 6 in. paver. The 2116T has been designed to offer the commercial and highway class contractor the features and reliability enjoyed by Vögele America's many satisfied 10-foot highway-class paver customers.
ASPHALT COMPACTORS Hamm Compaction Division's largest Oscillation roller, the HD O120V, will be exhibited. This 78-inch-wide, double-drum roller has an operating weight of 26,345 lb. with oscillation in the rear drum, and conventional vibration in the front. The rear drum has an oscillation frequency of 2,160 to 2,520 vpm, and the front with vibration frequency 2,520 to 3,000 vpm. Also displayed will be the new HD 14 VV asphalt compactor and the HD 8 VV, introduced late in 2006. For both models, VV stands for "Vibration Front, Vibration Rear", with the capability of vibration running in the front drum only, rear drum only, in both drums simultaneously, or no vibration. New at World of Asphalt, the HD 14 VV weighs in at 4.6 tons and has a maximum working width of 56 in. It offers an outstanding operator view, is suitable for a wide range of different tasks and has exceptional ergonomic comfort. In comparison with other machines in its weight class, its drum diameter is exceptionally large. The 1.6-ton HD 8 VV is a small articulated asphalt compactor with a 31.5 inches (800 mm) and a working width of 33.7 inches.
