Expandable Microsurfacing Box

The VSS Macropaver Expandable Microsurfacing Box is infinitely adjustable between 9 and 14 ft. The box allows a slurry seal/microsurfacing crew to apply a wide range of microsurfacings with consistency while simultaneously expanding and contracting to the desired designated widths. The unit features four 9-in. diameter augers, two per side, to enhance mixing and distribution. Extra long side strike-off plates/skids ensure optimum leveling of microsurfacing material and urethane squeegees control material thickness.

Improved Cutter Drum Design

Roadtec introduces improvements to its line of cold planer cutter drums.

• The drum end ring configuration has been redesigned for better match-cutting and increased tool life; the lacing pattern was adjusted to provide a better texture on the milled surface as well as a more balanced impact when the cutting tools strike the surface; this design has been modified with the goal to provide 3,000 hours of service of the tool base and cutter drum's components manufactured at Roadtec
• The improved pattern the new drum design is capable of producing will enhance bonding of the new asphalt layer to the existing base and can also aid in the longevity and higher smoothness of the pavement because over time and with traffic, a rough milled surface will show through the asphalt on a typical thin lift paving job
