MATERIAL TRANSFER VEHICLES

CONTINUOUS,
SEGREGATION-FREE
PAVING.

Material transfer vehicles (MTVs) are usually used to assist the pavers. Most pavers are equipped to receive HMA directly from dump trucks, however in certain situations it can be necessary or advantageous to use an MTV. It allows the paver to operate continuously without stopping, minimizes truck waiting time at the paving site and may minimize aggregate segregation and temperature differentials.

Hot mix is received from delivery trucks into a 25 m³ hopper, stored in an insulated, hot-oil-heated bin that holds temperature within ±5 °C for hours, and re-blended by a continuous mixing auger before discharge. This eliminates thermal and aggregate segregation — the leading cause of premature pavement failure.

A 4-axle all-terrain undercarriage lets the unit reposition between paving sites under its own power, while PLC + joystick control gives a single operator full command of drive, conveyor and auger from one station.
