World of Asphalt and AGG1 product preview

February 20, 2018  By Rock to Road Staff Report



February 20, 2018 – The 2018 editions of the World of Asphalt and the AGG1 Academy & Expo will be coming to the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, Texas from March 6 to 8.

The co-located shows will feature more than 350 of the industry’s leading manufacturers and service providers in the aggregate, asphalt, pavement maintenance, and traffic safety industry sectors; as well as more than 50 educational sessions through the AGG1 Academy.

Here are a few of the latest aggregates- and asphalt-related technologies that will be on display.


KPI-JCI and Astec Mobile Screens
Booth: 2542
The ProSizer 3600 is a single-load crushing plant for processing virgin aggregate and recycled materials. Its 36” x 46” horizontal shaft impactor can be paired with conventional or high frequency screens to meet your application needs. This crushing plant can be powered by diesel, electric or hybrid power. The portable ProSizer 3600 offers the same efficient and reliable performance as the company’s stationary and mobile plants, and provides versatility for ideal application flexibility. The hydraulic drive allows for variable rotor speed without loss of power, providing up to 25 per cent more production over clutch-driven units.

Wirtgen America
Booth: 1324
The innovative 10-ft. tracked Super 2000-3i and 8-ft. wheeled Super 1703-3i pavers will be displayed at the Wirtgen America Inc. booth. These pavers – designed specially for the North American market – are used in both highway and roadway construction, and large-scale commercial applications. Also on display will be the VÖGELE SUPER 700-3i commercial paver, small to large-sized Wirtgen cold mills, and a variety of different-sized Hamm rollers, including the Hamm DV+ 90i VO-S rigid-frame, drum-steer, split-drum roller, and the North American introduction of the Hamm HD+ 90i PH hybrid power train tandem roller. A Kleemann Mobirex impact crusher for processing RAP, other recycled materials and general crushing will also be shown. Delegates also will be welcome to operate two simulators which emulate compaction using the new DV+ rollers, and cold milling with Wirtgen’s exclusive WIDRIVE technology, respectively.

Superior Industries
Booth: 2306
Available in 200hp to 500hp models, the Patriot cone crusher features Superior in-house Vantage Automation, which monitors and controls crusher parameters. Unlike most crusher models, the Patriot cone’s counter-shaft spins in a counterclockwise rotation. This causes the crusher to open if clamping pressure is lost, reducing risk of catastrophic failure. The Patriot cone crusher is backed by the two-year standard warranty, in addition to one-year wear parts protection.

John Deere
Booth: 2414
The 401 horsepower John Deere 844K-III Aggregate Handler configuration is purpose built for two-pass loading with increased power, larger tilt cylinders, higher hydraulic pressure and increased counterweighting to handle bigger material-handling buckets (9.3 cu. yd./9.8 cu. yd.), reduce fill time in processed aggregates and ultimately conserve fuel in applications. New enhanced performance buckets boast a narrower integrated spill guard and curved side cutters to improve load visibility and load retention. The Aggregate Handler option cuts loading time by 30 per cent with reduced fuel consumption by eliminating that third pinch pass.

ADM
Booth: 2636
ADM will feature the EX120 asphalt plant at booth 2636. The 120-tph plant features single-drum counterflow technology and meets all federal and state emission regulations. The plant boasts the longest aggregate drying and mixing times in the industry, resulting in a low cost per ton. In addition, the plant is capable of processing as much as 50 percent RAP. Counterflow technology with separate drying and mixing zones allows the EX120 to achieve maximum heat transfer and fuel efficiency. The system virtually eliminates unsafe carbon emissions that are a common problem with other drum mix plants. The entire plant sits on one chassis for easy transportation.

Polydeck Screen Corporation
Booth: 1814
Kwikdeck is a revolutionary new system that gives wire cloth users an opportunity to try modular rubber panels without altering their existing frame. No cutting or welding and your original crowned deck surface remains intact. Simply remove the wire cloth section(s) and bucker bar covers and put Kwikdeck covers on in their place. Lay SnapStraps across the width of the machine, re-torque the side clamp rails, install the modular rubber screen panels and you’re done. A 4’ by 6’ section can be installed in approximately 45 minutes. See Kwikdeck in action at Polydeck booth 1814 at AGG1 in Houston.

Sandvik
Booth: 1714
Sandvik Mining & Rock Technology tools for asphalt milling, road planing, ice scraping, trenching, tunneling, and mining are some of the toughest in the industry, thanks to the company’s superior, patented carbide alloy tips. Sandvik’s design team is constantly working to develop advanced hard material alloys that function in the most demanding environments. The company’s latest generation of patented carbide grades, manufactured using an innovative process technique with completely new raw materials, has made it possible to create new, extra-coarse, super-tough alloys with perfectly uniform grain structure. The benefit is that the tip’s material grade can be better matched to the application.

Bergkamp
Booth: 2053
Bergkamp Bituminous Solutions introduces a High Sheer Colloid Mill that can efficiently and cost-effectively produce asphalt emulsions that contain higher percentages of asphalt. The mill’s rotor and stator are designed with more teeth, placed closer together, to transfer greater shear energy into the materials, increasing the mill’s power and efficiency. Manufactured with a special steel alloy, the rotor and stator do not easily wear or corrode. Bergkamp’s mill is designed to produce consistent particle size distribution, improving breaking and curing time, as well as the emulsion viscosity. The mill’s PSD (particle size distribution) increases the shelf life of the emulsion and improves its ability to arrive intact at job sites. The mill is backed with a five-year warranty and onsite service.

Process Heating Company
Booth: 2717
Process Heating Company Lo-Density electric heating systems provide safe, clean, reliable and 100 per cent efficient heat for asphalt tanks, hot oil circulating systems, fuel oil preheaters and asphalt/emulsion distributor trucks. The heaters feature low-watt density electric heating coils inside of a drywell that spreads heat over a larger surface area within the tank or system, keeping the heater’s sheath temperature decreased. Low-watt density heat reduces damage to liquid AC, emulsions, and transfer oil; keeps buildup/coking to a minimum; and greatly extends heater life. The drywell design allows service personnel to remove and perform maintenance on the heating elements without draining the tank.
