The cold recycler’s rugged milling and mixing rotor granulates the damaged asphalt pavement. The granulated material is homogeneously mixed with a binding agent and water sprayed into the mixing chamber to produce the new mix on the spot.
If the CR is equipped with a built-in paving screed, the mix is conveyed towards the center as a result of the helical design of the milling and mixing rotor and subsequently transported to the paving unit via the primary conveyor. The spreading auger distributes it evenly in front of the variable paving screed, which ensures that the mix is paved true to line and level.
In cold recycling with built-in rear loading, the mix is conveyed to the asphalt paver’s material hopper via the primary and discharge conveyors. The paver then paves the surface true to line and level.
