Cold recycling technologies from Wirtgen are in use around the globe for climate-friendly and cost-effective recycling of construction materials. The new mobile KMA 240(i) cold mixing plant now makes on-site production of highquality mixes even more efficient.
In addition to bituminous bound mixes, the plant also is a cost-effective solution for the production of cement-treated mixes.
The recyclers of the WR series are used in recycling and soil stabilization projects. The new resource efficiency system increases the degree of automation in the overall process, which, in turn, further increases efficiency. Furthermore, the new VARIO injection bar for binding agents offers the ability to regulate the injection pressure of water and bitumen in order to achieve more homogeneous distribution in the mixing chamber.
KMA 240(i) With Double Trough System
The new KMA 240(i) mobile cold recycling mixing plant from Wirtgen enables continuous and resource-efficient production of high-quality mixes. The innovative double trough technology makes it possible to double the speed of the production of mix from various different construction materials, according to the manufacturer. The system enables precise, reliable and automatic addition of large amounts of hydraulic binding agents. As a result of this, the mix production process achieves the highest levels of efficiency and quality.
In addition to cold mixes for bituminous bound base layers, the plant also can produce mixes for cement-stabilized base layers (CTB) and roller compacted concrete (RCC) at rates of up to 240 t/h. These construction materials are integrated in the road construction cycle as high-quality mixes. They can be used for applications ranging from motorway, road and path construction to the construction of car parks or industrial areas
The KMA 240(i) can process an enormous variety of non-cohesive base materials. The newly developed double trough system with automatic self-calibration and precision weighing enables the constant addition of binding agents during the continuous mixing process. Depending on requirements, either small or large amounts of binding agents can be added in the process.
Milled RAP or other granular material from old road surface layers and other materials from RC processing can be used as environmentally friendly construction materials.
The 100 percent recycling rate enables substantial CO2 reductions and energy savings, while simultaneously minimizing project costs and timeframes. The cold recycling mixing plant is mounted on a lowloader semi-trailer and has its own high-performance engine unit. This mobile concept enables fast and flexible redeployment of the plant to an enormous variety of different working locations.
Resource Efficiency System for WR series
The resource efficiency system combines an automatic steering system and digital project site documentation in a single app that makes a significant contribution to the costeffectiveness and resource-efficiency of soil stabilization and recycling operations.
The satellite-based guidance system enables precise and efficient completion of the successive project tasks. It steers the machine with a precision measured in centimeters on the

basis of a previously calculated reference cut and a predefined overlap of adjacent cuts. At the same time, all relevant location-specific parameters are registered to provide a comprehensive database for site analysis and documentation purposes. In the case of soil stabilizers, these are, for instance, working width and depth, distance and area worked, fuel consumption and many other parameters. The forward-looking system is also scalable, which means that other machines such as motor graders, rollers and compactors involved in the process also can benefit from the data.
VARIO Injection Bar for WR Series
In order to achieve consistently high quality of the mixing results, the addition of water and binding agents is regulated according to various parameters such as the working width and depth, the material density and the machine advance rate. Each injection bar has a maximum of 16 nozzles, each of which can be activated or deactivated at any time to vary the spraying width. The premiere of another innovation in the WR series — the VARIO injection bar for water, bitumen emulsion and foamed bitumen. The adjustable nozzle crosssection enables the regulation of the injection pressure and, in turn, the depth the spray jet penetrates into the milled granulate. The result is an even more even distribution of water, bitumen emulsion, or foamed bitumen throughout the entire mixing chamber, according The resource efficiency system from Wirtgen has reached the finals of the bauma Innovation Award 2022 in the category “Digitalization.” to the manufacturer.

The National Asphalt Pavement Association (NAPA) has joined the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s ENERGY STAR program as a partner.
Through this voluntary partnership with ENERGY STAR, NAPA will encourage its members to reduce energy consumption and costs at asphalt mixture production facilities by employing proven energy-saving technologies and practices.
“NAPA’s new partnership with ENERGY STAR complements The Road Forward initiative, an ambitious goal for the asphalt pavement industry to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050,” said Audrey Copeland, NAPA president and CEO. “Recent inflation and volatility in energy prices provide further impetus for NAPA members to reduce their financial risk by improving energy efficiency, while also maximizing the impact of projects funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.”
As part of its continued commitment to energy efficiency and sustainability, NAPA also is launching the Asphalt Plant Energy Performance Peer Exchange (APEX) Program. The APEX Program is available to asphalt mixture producers who want to reduce environmental impacts associated with asphalt plant operations, reduce energy costs and receive formal recognition from the ENERGY STAR program for managing and reducing energy consumption.
In a pilot of the APEX program, 22 companies received training and peer networking opportunities to better manage and reduce energy consumption at asphalt plants, and even helped draft an asphalt mix plant energy guide. A tool that will allow existing plants to become ENERGY STAR labeled is in development.
“Improving the energy efficiency of our nation’s manufacturing sector is critical to protecting our environment,” said Cindy Jacobs, chief of the EPA ENERGY STAR Commercial & Industrial Branch.

DEMAND from page 1 corporate optimism expressed by other construction companies across the United States.
“Demand for both new and used equipment continues to be at high levels and sales backlogs remain at record levels,” said Ryan Greenawalt, chairman and CEO. “Our organic physical rental fleet utilization and rates on rental equipment continue to improve and tightness of supply continues to buy inventory values across all asset classes.”
He attributed the rosy picture to “industry tailwinds” from the passing of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill, saying it is driving further demand for construction machinery.
“In our material handling segment, labor tightness and inflation are driving the adoption of more advanced and automated solutions while also driving the market to record levels,” said Greenawalt.
Multiple Factors at Play
The U.S. construction equipment market specifically is experiencing a high compound annual growth rate (CAGR) because of increased building activities for infrastructure development.
That is the conclusion of a study conducted by India-based market research firm BlueWeave Consulting.
“The U.S. construction market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 6 percent during the forecast period of 2022-2028,” researchers reported. “The growing demand for construction equipment in this region is fueled by increased construction activities for infrastructural development as a result of government and private investment.”
Because of this considerable investment, the infrastructure segment of the construction equipment market holds the biggest market share, said BlueWeave.
In fact, “explosive” is how one industry legal expert terms the global growth in demand for heavy machinery.
He attributes the explosion to economic and geopolitical developments.
Chief among industries seeing a significant uptick in machinery demand is the mining sector, said attorney James. R. Waite.
The uptick is driven by demand for lithium, graphene, cobalt, nickel and other components for batteries, electric vehicles and clean technologies, he said.
“Further bolstering the mining industry is increased demand for precious metals and traditional commodities, especially in Latin America, Asia and Africa,” Waite said in an article in Engineering News Record. “In construction, demand for equipment and parts continues to skyrocket as countries around the world begin a new push to update roads, bridges and other infrastructure.”
But, he said, upgrades are especially pressing in the United States, where roads, bridges, rail and other infrastructure projects are finally starting to receive significant government funding.
“That will directly benefit the heavy equipment industry, but it also will see logistical issues mount and supply shortages become more acute,” said Waite.
He predicts the war in Ukraine and sanctions against Russia will drive up energy costs in the United States and elsewhere.
What the Future Holds
Waite also predicts regional consolidation specifically in the southeastern United States, where the state of Georgia is gaining a reputation as global hub for innovation in construction equipment.
“Six of the world’s top 10 equipment manufacturers have identified the state as the new Silicon Valley of equipment manufacturing,” said the heavy equipment industry attorney. “Georgia’s business-friendly climate and a host of strong structural advantages have provided a strong boost to manufacturing and the heavy equipment industry in particular.”
Georgia provides significant tax breaks for manufacturers and job creators, augmented by a generous state R&D tax credit.
The state also offers a skilled labor force, low rates of unionization, a top-tier university and technical college system, a superb manufacturing infrastructure and a worldclass transportation system, he said.
Despite global issues including inflation, rising interest rates and the war in Ukraine, the heavy equipment sector is among industries continuing to make headway.
Waite said the industry has successfully leveraged global economic, infrastructure and geopolitical conditions to considerable advantage.
“As a result,” he believes, “the industry is poised to continue thriving for the foreseeable future, driven by demand in multiple, only partly overlapping, industries, including mining, construction, energy and agriculture. States that seek to attract more heavy industry should follow Georgia’s businessfriendly example.”
Market’s Cautious Optimism
Early this year, the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) weighed in on the construction equipment market’s expansion, saying that a number of challenges could present obstacles.
Short-term factors such as the lingering pandemic, ongoing supply-chain issues and persistent labor shortages were chief among AEM’s list of challenges.
Secondary to those issues that have emerged to dampen enthusiasm were deglobalization and inflation.
“The last recession we experienced ended the longest period of economic expansion in the United States, and that recession lasted from February 2020 to April 2020,” said Benjamin Duyck, AEM director of market intelligence.
The responses to AEM quarterly member surveys for the past two years have been positive in regard to how quickly they expect to recover to pre-COVID-19 levels.
“But the data for this last quarter is moving again in the other direction, largely due to the headwinds we’re facing with inflation, workforce issues and supply chain disruptions,” said Duyck.
Though inflation is a little lower, it has risen gradually, with a 9.7 percent increase in the last quarter of 2021.
Talent acquisition also is a troublesome factor for both ag and construction equipment manufacturers.
AEM’s most recent quarterly member survey found that hiring remains a major issue.
In fact, 84 percent of all respondents have experienced issues in this area, while 90 percent of all ag members surveyed are affected.
Members are strategic in addressing hiring challenges, incorporating internships, educational partnerships, higher wages, bonuses, marketing and recruitment efforts, flexible hours and outsourcing.
But the association believes workforce will remain a prevalent issue for equipment manufacturers for the foreseeable future.
Supply-chain problems plaguing ag and construction equipment manufacturers also remain a major issue.
“COVID-19, followed by growing numbers of employees leaving the workforce, have led to both shutdowns and scarcity of products,” he added.
In response, the supply chain has adjusted production downward to meet expected lower demand.
Plus, there’s the fact that shipping companies cut schedules, expecting a drop in demand for shipments.
And though demand in some aspects of the economy dropped, the decrease was not evenly spread over all industries and all workers, AEM noted.
“While people still continued to spend money on homes and consumer purchases, interest rates remained low, and the U.S. experienced an expansion in monetary supply,” said the association. “Furthermore, workers and businesses were supported by the government. All of this, combined with the scarcity of products and higher demand results in inflation, adversely impacting supply chains.
An eventual scarcity of products coupled with higher demand resulted in inflation making its way up the supply chain.
At the same time, factories could not expand easily due to bottlenecks in the chain caused by both low production and the global nature of production, according to AEM.
Now, overdemand makes it difficult for suppliers to understand the true demand for their products.
“We can see this in our industries, not only from the OEMs and from the component manufacturers, but also from the end users of the OEMS,” said Duyck. “That, in short, is why we have supply-chain issues. Workforce, supply chain and all of it ties together and the results of policies and actions decades in the works set off by COVID-19.”
Supply Chain Is a Choker
In AEM’s most-recent quarterly survey, more than 95 percent of responding ag and construction equipment manufacturers said they are experiencing supply-chain issues.
However, last winter it appeared either demand was beginning to normalize, or supply chain signaling was improving, because 44 percent of respondents noted the issues are beginning to turn around, according to the association.
Further, the issues do not necessarily lie at the endpoint or receiving shipping, but rather at the supplier source — and especially international shipping, he added.
Supply-chain issues have caused many AEM members to fall behind, despite ongoing growth.
This situation could eventually lead to changes in inventory management, the survey found.
Duyck reported that the third quarter of 2021 saw inventory levels increase between 15 and 20 percent in both the ag and construction segments.
However, the ag side saw an additional 15 percent jump in the fourth quarter of last year.
“Whether changes in inventory management will actually take place has yet to be seen, but it’s quite possible that higher inventory levels will become more prevalent for some time,” said Duyck. CEG

ARNOLD MACHINERY CO.
www.arnoldmachinery.com
Does your operation need an efficient 150 ton haulage solution that can deliver performance on grade while providing energy-saving technologies to help achieve lower fuel consumption? Komatsu’s rigid frame off-highway haul truck, the HD1500-8E0, is purpose-built for mining, quarry and aggregate applications.
Delivering performance with a 1,580 gross horsepower (1180 kW), Tier IV final Komatsu SDA16V159E-3 engine, the HD1500-8E0 helps drive high levels of productivity. The redesigned cab, combined with a MacPherson strut-type and hydropneumatic suspension, gives operators the smooth and comfortable ride they need for long shifts.
Quick Specs of HD1500-8E0
• Net horsepower: 1,570 hp (1,171 kW) @ 1,900 rpm • Operating weight: 550,229 lbs. (249,579 kg) • Rated payload: 153.2 tons (139.0 t) • Rated Capacity (SAE Heaped 2:1): 102 cu. yd. (78 cu m)
Travel Performance for Productivity
In addition to speed on grade, the HD1500-8E0 is equipped with hydraulic, wet multiple-disc brakes on all four corners. The continuously cooled, large-capacity brakes also act as a highly responsive retarder, providing operators with confidence at higher speeds when traveling downhill. Downhill descent also can be controlled by setting a desired travel speed with the automatic retard speed control (ARSC), which applies the brake retarder to maintain the desired setting and descend the road with confidence.
Maneuverability for Tight Spaces, Steep
Grades, Slippery Haul Road Conditions
With a tight turning radius (36 ft. 9 in.), operators in the HD1500-8E0 can easily maneuver in and out of tight spaces when spotting to be loaded or positioning to dump. The MacPherson strut-type independent front suspension features an A-arm wheel-to-mainframe design for wide spacing and easy access to the engine bay.
Komatsu’s traction control system (KTCS) provides enhanced control in loose or slippery haul road conditions by monitoring the rear wheels for slippage and automatically applying pressure to the independent wheel brake assemblies. mission with two configurable reverse speeds. Komatsu’s advanced transmission with optimum modulation control system (K-ATOMiCS) provides electronic shift control with automatic clutch modulation, promoting optimized clutch engagement at every gear to provide smooth shifting without losing torque, offering a comfortable ride while helping to reduce material spillage.
Enhance payloads, promote productivity and control the life cycle costs of your truck with the HD1500-8E0‘s integrated payload meter (PLM). It manages the payload of each hauling cycle, analyzing production volume and the working conditions of the machine.
Delivering performance with a 1,580 gross hp (1180 kW), Tier IV final Komatsu SDA16V159E-3 engine, the HD1500-8E0 helps drive high levels of productivity.
Operator Comfort, Visibility
Designed with a convenient control layout, the ergonomic operator cab is equipped with an air suspension seat to help dampen vibrations. Seat heater and ventilator are equipped as standard. To help improve operator comfort, hydropneumatic suspension provides a smooth ride over rough terrain, while the low noise engine, fan clutch and cab sealing provide a quiet, low decibel operating environment.
Give your operator greater visibility to the work-area with features like KomVision, a 360-degree monitoring system that uses six cameras for a real-time view of surroundings. Two screen mode allows your operator to view the 360degree bird’s eye view and any of the six cameras to be viewed simultaneously, on a dedicated monitor.
Maintenance Made Easier
Designed for convenient preventative maintenance and servicing, a ground-level service center is located at the bottom of the HD1500-8E0‘s hydraulic tank, putting engine, transmission, brake control and hydraulic oil filling evacuation ports accessible in one central location. The standard, automatic greasing system helps minimize maintenance time by automatically supplying grease at predetermined intervals. A battery disconnect switch, located on the left side of the vehicle, is accessible from the ground level. For security during maintenance, there are tie-off anchor points for safety harnesses.
The cold weather package includes electric heating elements for engine oil pan, coolant, steering and hoist oil tank, transmission oil pan and brake oil tank, which plugs into an external power supply. The engine also is equipped with a cold weather ether starting aid system, standard for the HD1500-8E0.
