GENCOR_AsphaltPro_V1.indd 1 10/21/14 12:27 PM keep it up

14 March 2015 LEFT: This pavement shows gouges in the milling pattern from irregular milling teeth. BELOW: Always use a straight edge to check your work. The level shows we have an obvious crown in the road, which we didn’t want on this particular project. The subcontractor was supposed to take out 2 inches all the way across the lane, but that’s not what happens when the cutter drum is in need of maintenance and repair. The level is supposed to be flat, not “up” 2 inches too high. The problem? There are 27 teeth and 27 holders that are worn out on the cutter, but the team didn’t know it. When I showed them the problem, they felt unable to correct it with their mechanic out of town. Empower your supervisor or foreman to make the tough calls out on the job. If the foreman had said, “stop now until this is fixed,” the team wouldn’t have wast- ed time, money and manpower on a poor performance that had to be redone.

Do More Than Brush Those Teeth By John Ball

ave you had trouble getting smoothness on a mill and fill? Look to the milling crew’s best practices. It’s shameful when a coun- Hty or agency decides to merely place a thin overlay on a badly cracked concrete pavement, but it’s also a shame if a subcontractor does a poor job of preparing a milled surface for the better treatment of a mill and fill. Use the anonymous contractor’s experience here to learn some tips for the next milling job you need to do in your pavement maintenance or preservation work. Notice in these pictures that the crew is putting a crown in the road where it’s supposed to be flat—they’re not using a level and they’re not profiling. They should have been seeing a chevron pattern, a herring- bone pattern. Instead, they’re seeing a mess because they haven’t been maintaining the cutter drum and teeth. When they saw a problem, the mechanic was out of town, so they just kept milling. To avoid this sort of problem, you should check the teeth every day. Nobody told them how important it is to check the teeth and the holders each day. The hardness of the aggregate really makes the teeth wear. If you don’t check over the teeth each day, you won’t know that something is going bad. keep it up

TOP LEFT: You can clearly see the tip is missing from the tooth; the next one is missing the “circle.” TOP RIGHT: This tooth just gouges the mat; it’s not rotating. BOTTOM LEFT: The tip of the tooth isn’t getting to touch the pavement; it’s not getting to do its job. Because of the worn holders and misaligned teeth, we had to re-cut almost 2 miles down the road to fix what the in- effective cutter drum had done.BOTTOM RIGHT: After re-milling the lane, we put the level down again. It looks much closer to level. This is the best way to double-check your work behind the mill. Put the 4-foot straight edge across the lane and see what you have.

This could have resulted in a great deal more material when paving if we hadn’t gone back to correct the pattern. It cost the company some money to go back and re-do the milling, but it would have cost more in material to make up the profile of the pavement to get a smooth surface.

www.theasphaltpro.com 25 26 March 2015 The plant at Pierson’s Bridgeport, N.J., location received two trailer loads of equipment to effect the installation of the 100 percent RAP winter mix capability. In these pictures, you can see the Dillman drum plant with its 500-TPH capacity drum already in place. RAP Technologies delivered an Allen Bradley PLC, custom automation and an early-entry combustion zone. You can also see the totes of recycling agent used to soften the aged RAP binder.

RAP Technologies found Slavic’s idea so compelling month lease between Pierson and RAP Technologies that the company upgraded its All-RAP pilot plant to with 1,000 ton per month production minimums. produce winter mix and be ready if Slavic called again Dec. 30, 2014, Billy Bowling, Pierson’s operations in 2014.

plant is easier than his Terex automation, taking only two keystrokes to start the plant in a fully automated startup sequence. The equipment lease between Pierson and RAP Tech- nologies includes a supply of recycling agent. The recycling agent is a local, repurposed, non-toxic, organic material that softens age-hardened RAP binder for the purpose of producing durable, easy-to-work mixes. The product is delivered in 250-gallon IBC totes and added at a rate of 1.25 gallons per ton of mix. This dose restores PG64-22 performance to the RAP binder and balances rutting and fatigue cracking resistance, according to the manufacturer. Totes are kept warm in a heated garage overnight, and then connected to the plant in the morn- ing to pump accurately. Dan Karcher, the quality control manager, routine- ly fractionates his RAP with an Astec PEP screener into ¼ and 3/8-inch fractions. These fractions give him control over gradation and asphalt cement (AC) content throughout the year. For winter mix, Karcher set up the PEP screen to make slightly different fractions that, when reblended, enable production of both base and surface mixes with just RAP aggregate and recycling agent. Karcher changed the 3/8-inch top deck screen to ¾-inch and will use that fraction to produce both base and surface winter mixes. This is a new concept in 100 percent mixes, but Karcher is well-known for designing quality mixes with high RAP. Air permitting for the all-RAP winter mix plant wasn’t an issue because New Jersey offers a special exemption for temporary portable equipment operated while stationary manufacturing components are repaired or maintained. A registration form was submitted to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection prior to the start of work and a second notice will be submitted at the end of the 90-day maintenance period. It was that simple.

This graph shows the trend in sales of high RAP mixes in New York City. In the first year, RAP percentage used in mixes in Q1 was 0.0 percent. In Q2 it was 7.0 percent. In Q3 it was 12.9 percent. In Q4 it was 13.5 percent. In the second year, RAP percentage used in mixes in Q1 was 35 percent. In Q2 it was 49 percent. In Q3 it was 56.4 percent. In Q4 it was 50 percent. In the third year, RAP percentage used in mixes in Q1 was 55.4 percent. In Q2 it was 100 percent. In Q3 it was 93.4 percent. In Q4 it was 83 percent.

In May 2011, New York City’s first commercial 100 percent recycled asphalt plant opened using RAP Technolo- gies’ All-RAP patented technology. The first season was fo- cused on introducing contractors to the quality of 100 percent recycled mix. That task became much easier in Janu- ary 2012 when the All-RAP plant stayed open while other producers serving NYC closed for maintenance. As a result of this availability and discount price, many contractors with winter projects purchased 100 percent recycled mix for the first time; their positive experiences kept them coming back during the regular paving season. Demand for 100 percent recycled mix has continued to increase every year, even as conventional plants saw declining sales (see Figure 1). RAP Technologies’ All-RAP technology is designed to be retrofitted on conventional plants as a parallel system enabling producers to switch back and forth be- Booth tween 100 percent RAP and conventional mix on a day #1552 to day basis. This is proving to be an attractive option in small or slow markets where operating a conventional plant is not profitable until large projects need that capacity. Portable recyclers, Pierson’s winter mix rental, and the NYC experience suggest that the market is ready for 100 percent recycled mixes. Bob Frank is the founder of RAP Technologies.

s we gear up for the start of the spring paving season, AsphaltPro begins a new Paving and way to examine the equipment, products and services available in the market- Aplace to asphalt professionals. Of course we will still focus on the items relevant to an asphalt business, but we have a new approach to make the focus more useful to you, Pavement the reader and end user. Notice this month that all equipment and services listed in the Product Gallery relate to the “paving” side of the industry. From the information we receive and solicit from Maintenance OWMs and consultants, we’ve selected just the bits that pertain to laying and compacting a gorgeous asphalt mat, or maintaining and preserving any pavement surface, or profiling and testing the road for perfect quality assurance. When you see the Paving and Pave- ment Maintenance Equipment headline for our Product Gallery, you’ll know you have Essentials the latest and greatest in the paving/preservation/testing side of the asphalt game.

64 March 2015 LEFT: The autotracking package serves as a sort of tether between the paver and MTV, allowing the MTV operator to keep his machine traveling at the same speed as the paver. This keeps the MTV at a constant distance from the paver as the two move down the lane, delivering material to the hopper from a constant height. ABOVE: The two light towers on the MTV alert the operator when the paver is going to change speed.

cate when the paver speed is going to increase, decrease, or when it is maintaining the appropriate distance between the machines. Control switches for the autotracking package are also located on the Shuttle Buggy’s C1 conveyor and operator console. These controls allow the Shuttle Buggy operator to select between automation or manual modes. In either mode, the light towers provide continuous aid to the operator in judging the distance between the paver and MTV.

APP OFFERS MORE THAN A CATALOG Combustion Flight At first blush, the new app from Atlas Copco, Commerce City, Colo., looks like an Castings electronic catalog of products you can access in the field. Upon further investigation, it proves to be more. The Atlas Copco Construction Technique Business Area has launched the app for use with Apple and Android devices, tablets and smart phones to keep the end user up-to-date on the latest news out of the company, including product releases, but also to provide training on the use of equipment, emergency maintenance, or other needs. A spokesperson for the company explained: “The Con- Slat Conveyor Liners struction App helps a contractor with equipment planning by providing all the information needed to make sound equipment purchases or renting. For example, if a paving contractor wants to learn more about a Dynapac paver or asphalt roller that he or she saw at a rental yard, they could pull up the model on the app and download its product information to see if it will meet the project’s requirements. The app also has filter settings to focus on equipment that fits a contractor's preferences or require- Slat End Protector ments. For example, a contractor can use the filter to focus on different types of asphalt rollers, drum types, steering types, operating mass, module mass and compaction width. On the job site, a contractor can also use the app to pull up Atlas Copco’s contact information or submit a service request for a piece of equipment. This allevi- ates the hassle of searching for a contact online and puts the contractor in direct communication with Atlas Copco. A contractor can also use the app to download training Cone Liners videos to help teach a new operator how to run the equipment.” For more information, contact Atlas Copco at (800) 732-6762 or visit www.at- lascopco.us.

The lightweight hood of the Volvo DD25B tilts forward with the aid of two gas struts providing wide access to the engine and hydraulic components of the compactor at ground level.

ROLLER MEETS REGS WITHOUT AFTER- TREATMENT The Volvo DD25B double drum compactor is powered by a three-cylinder engine that meets Tier 4 Final emissions regulations without an after-treatment system. The Tier 4 Final engine is designed to deliver high productivity and low fuel consumption with a 7 percent decrease in fuel from the previous engine without the added cost of servicing the SCR or DPF. In addition, the Volvo DD25B is built with minimal maintenance requirements. The front and rear drum wipers are made of urethane, to increase effectiveness and service life while the eccentric bearings are lubricated for life. Auto-start vibration engages automatically when the FSR lever is moved out of neutral and disengages when the lever is in the Stop position to eliminate accidental damage to the mat. For more information, contact Volvo at (717) 532-9181.
