For
giving final finish to pavement surfaces, paver finisher is an important
equipment. Tractor and the screed unit are two important components of
the typical paver machine. This paver is suitable for various asphalt
surfaces. Asphalt paver finisher machine consists of the screed, which
is attached through two long side arms or leveling arms at tow points of
the tractor, one on either side. The screed is not fixed but is free to
pivot about tow points. The screed is towed by the tractor. The tractors
are either wheel mounted or track mounted.
This paver also consists of the hopper operations, screed lifting and
vibrating arrangements and is hydraulically controlled. The width of the
screed can be mechanically adjusted with mechanical bolt on extensions
on either side. Whereas conveyor and auger drive adjusts the feed to the
desired level. Screeds are of different types like combination screed,
vibratory screed, tamping screed etc.
