Abstract:
The invention relates to a self-propelling machine for processing bituminous or concrete pavement material, in particular a road finisher or a feeder. The machine comprises an internal combustion engine as a primary drive source, a controller for the engine, said controller receiving control signals, at least one additional drive unit for functional and operational components of the machine as well as at least one hydraulic circuit comprising a hydraulic medium reservoir. The invention is characterized in that the controller is configured for automatically causing starting and/or stopping of the engine in response to receipt of at least one specific control signal.
Abstract:
In a self-propelled machine F for processing paving material, the machine having a liquid cooled combustion engine M and at least one hydraulic circuit H containing hydraulic pumps 6, hydromotors or hydrostatic drive units 7-10 and at least one hydraulic medium reservoir 12, a fan assisted cooling device K including cooling regions 1b, 1c at least for the cooling liquid of the combustion engine M and of the hydraulic medium of the hydraulic circuit H. A hydraulic medium operation temperature setting and regulating device R is provided for the hydraulic medium cooling region 1c constituted by a separate cooler 24 in order to generate an operation temperature T of the hydraulic medium above at least about 60° C. and to maintain this operation temperature depending on the hydraulic load situation in the hydraulic liquid H and on the surrounding climate, independently from a cooling regulating system S for the combustion engine M.
Abstract:
In a paving screed E for a road paver F, the paving screed E comprises a base screed G and extension screeds A at the front side of the base screed, the extension screeds A being extendable and retractable and pivotable relative to the base screed G, a base guiding structure 18 pivotable relative to the base screed G, a guiding sub-structure 17 slidably guided in the base guiding structure 16, an extension guiding structure 16 slidably guided in the guiding sub-structure 17, and a sole plate frame structure 14 mounted to the extension guiding structure 16 and carrying an extension screed sole plate 11, substantially vertical guidances 20 and elevation adjustment assemblies 21 between the sole plate frame structure 14 and the extension guiding structure 16, the vertical guidances 20 and the elevation adjustment assemblies 21 facilitating to adjust the elevation of the sole plate frame structure 14 and the extension screed sole plate 11 parallel to itself and relative to the extension guiding structure 16.
Abstract:
In a road finisher having a spraying assembly for a bitumen emulsion, the spraying assembly has a plurality of spraying modules and one of the spraying modules has at least one pivotable spraying ramp at each side in the area of the carriage of the road finisher.
Abstract:
A device (1) for supervising the function of an electric consumer (2), such as a heating unit in a road finisher, is connected in a supply circuit (3) of electrical current of a consumer, and has an induction coil (4) associated with the current supply to which is connected a circuit (6) for detecting and indicating a voltage induced in the coil (4) by the supply current.
Abstract:
An electric heating unit for a road finisher for heating work components having at least one heating rod (1, 10) with a predetermined nominal heating power. In order to increase the reliability of operation of the heating unit and in order to facilitate heating unit repairs that have become necessary in view of a faulty heating rod (1, 10), each heating rod (1, 10) is provided with at least two heating spirals (3, 4; 12, 13, 14) each provided with an electric lead (6, 7; 16, 17, 18) of its own, both of the leads being connected to a user-accessible connection means (8).
Abstract:
A method for controlling and regulating a dryer in a rotary printing press having a varnishing device for varnishing printing stock processed in the printing press, includes measuring the intensity of a microwave signal after the microwave signal has interacted with varnished and dried printing stock fed through the rotary printing press; from the measured radiation intensity of the microwave signal, forming a status variable representing a measure of the degree of drying of the printing stock; and varying drying power provided by the dryer as a function of the formed status variable; and a device for performing the method.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a material conveyor system (1) for a road paver and feeder. The material conveyor system (1) comprises a material hopper (2), which comprises a first and a second hopper half (3, 4), a main conveyor device (5), which defines a main conveyor flow and which runs between the first and the second hopper halves (3, 4), and conveying screws (6, 7), which define a transverse conveyor flow and which are arranged in the hopper halves (3, 4). The material conveyor system (1) is characterized in that the conveying screws (6, 7) can be operated independently of the main conveyor device. The independent operation of the conveying screws (6, 7) and the main conveyor device (5) makes it possible to achieve improved homogenization of the mixing temperature of the paving material.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a charging vehicle (1) for conveying road-surfacing mix to a road-finishing machine, wherein the charging vehicle (1) comprises a conveyor assembly (5) and a machine drive (6). The invention is characterized in that the machine drive (6) is arranged on the charging vehicle (1) laterally offset with respect to the conveyor assembly device (5).
