Dynapac introduces the successor to its FC1700 C paver

Dynapac has launched the new D17 C commercial paver, the successor to its FC1700 C.

The key enhancements include a direct drive 16kW generator to the engine along with a fail-safe heat management system for increased efficiency and reliability. The newly designed proportional auger conveyor system further increases flexibility to control the material flow to the screed.

With paving width of 2.43 to 4.72 metres, the D17 C is an ideal solution for medium to large parking lots and county roads. As well, optional bolt on extensions allow the paver to tackle widths of up to 5.5 metres.

Dynapac’s product range is built on the principle of “designed to perform and built to last.” The D17 C is built with heavy duty structural components and rebuildable wear components. Thanks to bolted conveyor floor plates, segmented auger flights and screed plates, all wear parts are designed for easy replacement and they are rebuildable time and time again.

Unique feed system

Dynapac’s quad auger system is a unique design that includes screed mounted augers on both main and extensions. This allows the material to feed with a smoother process for pavement width of 2.43 to 4.72 metres without requiring excess manual work to get the material to the wider paving widths.

The independent conveyor system, along with reversible conveyor capability, allows for easy operation while paving and eliminating material spill on to the ground when transporting the paver between jobsites.

The proportional feed system offers precise control of the head of material in front the screed. Operators can personalize various material pile height settings from the display and simplify the paving process.

VF0816 Screed

The Dynapac D17 C paver is paired with the VF0816 front extension screed for high quality paving results. Weighing 2,041 kg, the VF0816 screed is the heaviest in its class delivering impressive pre-compaction.

The D17 C’s screed heating delivers next level technology for commercial class pavers. A newly designed direct drive 3 phase 16 kw engine mounted generator increasing the efficiency and reducing the heat up time. The heating system includes multi zone heat monitoring for even temperatures across the entire width of the screed. The reliability of the heat control system is further enhanced by having redundant sensors combined with smart fail-safe heat management technology.

The screed features include auto screed temperature control, hydraulic crown, hydraulic sloping extensions, hydraulic match height and a heated end gate.

The tractor features include hydraulic auto track tension, hydraulic tow points and an automatic proportional feed system.

The Dynapac D17 C paver is designed for simplicity in operation. The dual consoles deliver all required functions for both tractor and screed. As well, the two-operator set up is standard and customers can select a three-operator road crew kit, which will include a raised operator platform and screed remotes. The layout of the console is based on the frequency of use and functionality enables experienced or new operators to easily adapt and perform.

The paver provides all the necessary premium functions as standard to reduce overall investment and increase the readiness to tackle demanding job site needs.

Extra reserve capacity

The D17 C paver features extra reserve power to tackle demanding job site conditions. On the power pack side, there is up to 20 per cent more power available thanks to a 120 hp engine. With 35-cm track pads, the tractive effort is increase by an additional 20 per cent as well.

Pushing a truck on a steep hill on a housing project or emptying a large truck quickly to complete the paving job on a county road is easily achieved with the extra reserve capacity.
