Exclusive Material Delivery System
Material Delivery System
The BG-2455D provides precise mix delivery with minimal operator monitoring through the most advanced material handling system. Left and right feeders in addition to the left and right augers are controlled independently. The ability to control these four components separately, through a machine controller, eliminates the need for feeder gates. In order to control mix delivery, the operator sets a speed rate for each feeder that will maintain the desired mix level in the left and right auger chambers. Once the feeder speeds are set, the ratio of feeder speed to the maximum auger speed is automatically maintained by the machine controller, even though the propel rate may change as the job progresses. This ratio control capability is particularly helpful when paving wider on one side of the machine than on the other. Each feeder can be set at a specified speed to deliver the proper amount of mix that is needed.
Outboard Feeder Drives
Outboard Feeder Drives
The feeders have outboard mounted motors, reducers and feeder drive chains to maximize the live feeder tunnel area and reduce center line segregation. This design also provides greater ease of servicing the feeder drive system.
Gateless Feeder System
Gateless Feeders
The gateless feeders on the BG-2455D always run full of mix regardless of the speed required to fill the auger chamber. This is typically a slower speed than would be experienced with a paver utilizing feeder gates to control mix delivery rates. By not always having to run at full speed, feeder component wear is significantly reduced. When changes in feeder speed are required, delivery of mix to the augers is immediate. This is in contrast to pavers with gates, where any delivery rate change is delayed for the length of time it takes to clear the tunnel of mix from the previous gate setting. Running at slower speeds can also help reduce the opportunity for segregation, especially when working with larger stone mixes that have more of a tendency to segregate.
Feeder Design
The tunnel construction on the BG-2455D improves mix flow. The auger drive assembly is independent of the tractor which allows the distance between the two feeders to be significantly reduced. Keeping the feeders close together allows the flow from both feeders to blend together more easily as they discharge into the auger cavity. The tunnel and auger designs eliminate voids under the chain case to minimize segregation.
Auger Assembly
The auger provides mat consistency while minimizing segregation and also the assembly height can be hydraulically adjusted 192 mm (7.6"). The ability to raise the auger assembly simplifies loading and unloading from a transport vehicle. Also, when working with larger stone mixes, segregation can often be eliminated or minimized by raising the augers to allow mix to flow unrestricted under the auger assembly.
