Wet Mix Paver

A wet mix paver is a construction machine used for laying down wet mix macadam (WMM) or other base layers in road construction. It features an integrated mixing chamber that combines aggregates, binder, and water to create a uniform mix. The paver spreads and levels the wet mix with an adjustable screed, ensuring a smooth and consistent surface. Designed for efficiency, it reduces manual labor and improves mix quality and compaction, making it essential for creating durable road foundations.

Key Features

Mixing Chamber

Equipped with a built-in mixing chamber that combines aggregates, binder (such as bitumen or tar), and water to produce a homogenous wet mix.

Feeding System

Separate bins for different types of aggregates and binder to ensure accurate blending.ransport materials from the bins to the mixing chamber.

Paving Screed

The screed at the rear of the paver spreads and levels the wet mix as it is laid down on the road surface.Helps to achieve proper compaction and a smooth surface finish.

Material Transfer

Typically includes conveyor belts or augers to move the mixed material from the chamber to the paving screed.

Compaction System

ome wet mix pavers come with integrated compacting rollers to ensure the mix is compacted effectively during the paving process.

Hydraulic System

Used to operate various functions of the paver, including the raising and lowering of the screed and adjustments to the material flow.

Benefits

Improved Mix Quality

Ensures a consistent and homogenous mix, which contributes to a high-quality finished surface.The wet mix provides better bonding between aggregates and binder.

Versatility

Suitable for different types of road construction projects, including base layers and sub-base layers for highways, streets, and other surfaces.

Consistent Compaction

Achieves a consistent thickness and smooth surface, which enhances the durability and performance of the road.

Reduced Material Waste

The precise control over material proportions helps in minimizing waste and ensuring that the mix is used efficiently.

Applications

A wet mix paver is a specialized piece of construction equipment used for laying down wet mix macadam (WMM) or other similar base and sub-base layers in road construction. The wet mix is a combination of aggregates, water, and binder (like bitumen) that is mixed and applied in a liquid form, which then hardens into a stable and durable surface. Here are some common applications of wet mix pavers
