Sustainability at Wirtgen
Sustainable Efficiency and More Recycling
Sustainable and efficient products and process solutions enable our customers to fulfill special requirements on construction sites and in project tenders. Recycling, material savings, and smart assistance systems play decisive roles in this.
Asphalt Recycling
Many of our machines and applications have been developed for the processing and recycling of previously used materials.
Cold In-Situ Recycling
Once the bearing capacity of the asphalt surface layer has been compromised, the complete rehabilitation of the road structure is unavoidable. Currently trending: environmentally friendly and cost-effective solutions in which the recycling of the material removed by milling is a basic requirement.
About the cold in-situ recycling processCold In-Plant Recycling
Cold in-plant recycling is often the perfect solution when the logistical requirements of the construction site are unfavorable for the deployment of a recycling train.
About the cold in-plant recycling processSoil Stabilization
Soil stabilization has the edge over soil exchange as it requires fewer trucking movements, enables shorter construction times, conserves resources, and reduces CO₂ emissions.
Soil Stabilization – Efficient and Sustainable
The process makes the exchange of soils with poor load bearing properties more or less superfluous by eliminating the need for loading it onto trucks with an excavator, removing it for disposal, and transporting new load bearing soil to the construction site and spreading it.
About soil stabilizationA Smart Combination – Just One Machine for Cold Recycling and Soil Stabilization
The Rock Crusher WRC 240(i)
The Rock Crusher WRC 240(i) crushes coarse rocks and stones as found in hand packed stone layers and stony ground in-situ and homogeneously mixes the resulting material in a single pass. This combination of a series of different process steps in a single workflow leads to significant savings in terms of materials and fuel and, in-turn, a reduction of CO₂ emissions. The WRC can be used for both cold recycling and soil stabilization.
About the Rock Crusher WRCSmart Assistance Systems
Our numerous smart information and diagnostic systems additionally support operators and make their work easier – resulting in faster and more efficient working procedures.
MILL ASSIST
In automatic mode, the innovative MILL ASSIST machine control system always ensures the most favourable working balance in terms of performance and costs. Process optimizationy automatically adjusts the speed of the diesel engine and the milling drum, the advance drive, the water system, and the machine’s advance rate. This leads to a reduction of the operator's workload, improved machine performance, and significant lower fuel consumption, CO2 emissions, pick wear, and noise emissions.
