GETTING MY HANDS DIRTY Until this summer began, one of the biggest hinderances to my job education was a lack of hands-on opportunity with the real work of the asphalt world. As soon as the plants started kicking on and people were paving, I've tried to get out there and get my hands dirty.

Thankfully, I've already had some awesome experiences in Long Island, N.Y.; Philadelphia, Penn.; and a handful of other places yet to come this season.

year ago, I took over as the editor for this publication from Jessica Lombardo, who spent the previous decade with the brand and within this amazing industry. It's no secret that my success here wouldn't have been possible without her help in the transition, and even now, she continues to be an amazing support. At that time I didn't know anything about the asphalt business or the paving world, and I didn't really have a very deep understanding of our country's infrastructure for that matter. It's very interesting what can change in the matter of a year.

Superior Industries Portable Sentry HSI Closed Circuit Plant

Astec PTSC2818VM Portable High Frequency Screen Plant

For material processing can process recycled concrete, reclaimed asphalt and pit run materials into valuable salable products. From a single feed, owners and operators will be able to produce up to four unique products.

The closed circuit crushing and screening arrangement includes a 4250 Superior brand Sentry Horizontal Shaft Impactor (HSI). It is fed by a 48 x18 Intrepid Vibrating Grizzly Feeder, which is equipped with interchangeable grizzly cassettes (bars, fingers or punch plates) to accommodate multiple applications.

Additionally, a two-deck Anthem Inclined Screen screens up to three material sizes. Returning material is fed back to the HSI via a patent pending recirculating conveyor, which centralizes the feed for full utilization and extended wear life of the crushers blow bars. Onboard, the cross conveyors are universally designed to be interchangeable, which means owners invest in fewer conveyors since they can be mixed and matched throughout the plant. The plant is equipped to accommodate line power but can also be outfitted with a diesel drive genset unit. Its transport weight, dimensions and axle configurations make it permissible for road travel throughout all of North America.

Topcon Pavelink App

Dynapac MatTracker An edge-follower system, which automatically regulates the screed working width. It follows a finished asphalt edge, curb or milling edge and thus ensures a consistent overlap and a consistent quality of an edge or joint at all times.

• Ensures a consistent high joint quality • Automates the screed width adjustment • Takes the screed operator out of the danger area • Supports the operator during manual reworking • Easy operation via the control panel integrated in the side shields • Easy installation and activation

Caterpillar 3D Screed Plate System The Axenox screed plate design is a significant departure from industry standard. Whereas traditional plates are flat, these plates utilize a threedimensional, angular design. This added dimension delivers lateral compaction confinement to asphalt material. The kneading action helps aggregate to interlock more efficiently than with flat screeds, increasing mat and joint density along with improving mat smoothness. Densities reaching 91% have been measured behind pavers equipped with the three-dimensional screed plates, so there is less of a chance for material shoving and cracking with the roller. These high densities can reduce the number of passes, lowering compaction cost. At the longitudinal joint, higher densities result in improved material containment during compaction.
