Wirtgen premieres the W 120 Fi Compact Milling Machine at WoA 2022
With a total of 11 exhibits from Wirtgen, Vรถgele, Hamm, Kleemann and John Deere, the specialist audience at World of Asphalt was shown a cross-section of market-oriented and holistic solutions for the entire road construction process chain. The focus at the show was set on the critical issues of cost-effectiveness and sustainability.
With theย W 120 Fi, cold milling machine specialistย Wirtgenย celebrated the premiere of a model from the new generation of compact milling machines. Technologies from the proven F-Series of large milling machines have now been installed onboard machines of the 1-metre class โ above all the digital assistance systems Mill Assist, Wirtgen Performance Tracker (WPT) and the Level Pro Active levelling system.
The state-of-the-art pavers fromย Vรถgeleย are distinguished by optimal efficiency and ease of operation, and visitors to the show were able to see theย SUPER 700iย Mini Class paver with theย AB 200, which, with a standard width of onlyย 1.1 mย (3 ft 7 in), is the smallest extending screed from Vรถgele.
The Special Class was represented by theย SUPER 1800-3iย SprayJet, which applies the bitumen emulsion and places the asphalt pavement in a single pass.
As products developed especially for the North American market, theย SUPER 2000-3iย 10-foot class paver in combination with theย VF 600ย extending screed with front-mounted extensions attracted particular interest at the show.
As examples of its extensive product portfolio,ย Hammย presented theย HD 12i VVย andย HD+ 120i VV-HFย (High Frequency) articulated tandem rollers and theย DV+ 70i VV-Sย pivot-steered tandem roller. With the compactย HD 14i TTย pneumatic tire roller, the roller specialists presented another new machine for the North American market.
The MOBIREXย MR 110i EVO2ย impact crusher fromย Kleemannย stands for the efficient processing of recycling materials. Visitors to the booth were particularly interested in the machineโs SPECTIVE CONNECT operating concept. This upgraded version of the SPECTIVE operating concept can now display all relevant process information and reports on a smartphone, which means, for example, that the operator doesnโt have to leave the driving seat of the excavator or wheel loader.
In Nashville, theย MR 110i EVO2ย was presented together with aย 904 P-Tierย wheel loader fromย John Deere. As a production system, this pair of machines on show at World of Asphalt also stood as a striking example of the production systems the company group offers as solutions for the entire road construction process chain.
