GOMACO Polymer Paver to Debut at Conexpo
GOMACO will use Conexpo to introduce its Polymer Paver for the ultra-thin overlay market.
The Polymer Paver can pave overlays on bridge decks and flat slabs in widths from 6 to 30 feet. The all-welded steel frame sections feature bolted connections, allowing easy width changes.
Matching paving pan sections
The welded polymer paving pan sections are available in widths to match the frame sections. Vibration is provided by sectional rotary eccentrics supported by ball bearings. The vibration is coordinated to start and stop with the machine movement. A dual-drive 9-inch variable speed auger spreads the material ahead of the paving pan.
What are the latest developments in concrete pavers?
The Polymer Paver’s power is provided by a 74-horsepower diesel engine, which eliminates the inconvenience and expense of DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid). Four tracks allow for easy operation and loading/unloading. A four-bogie option allows for paving up against a barrier wall.
G+ control system
The Polymer Paver features the exclusive G+ control system for grade and steering. A 10-inch full-color display provides the operator with control over all paving machine functions.
The control system is multilingual and can toggle between metric and imperial settings. The tethered control display is magnetically mounted and can be positioned where the operator prefers for optimal operator visibility.
In all, GOMACO will display of 13 pieces of equipment at Conexpo, showcasing the company’s full line of concrete paving and support equipment.
