3. What is an asphalt finisher?
First of all, what is an asphalt finisher? It is a
construction machine used to pave asphalt by
the Asphalt paving contractors. Therefore, we
play an active part in construction sites such as
roads and parking lots.
The asphalt paving work, begin by firmly laying
down the roadbed and then work on laying the
asphalt. That’s when the asphalt finisher plays a
big role!

4. Structure asphalt finisher
The structure is classified into the following four
points.
A basket-like device for loading hopper asphalt
mixture
A part to drag the engine body (tractor like)
A device for spreading screed asphalt. It is
spread according to the paving width and
heated to a certain temperature so that the
asphalt mixture does not solidify.
Motor for moving the entire diesel engine body
Although there are differences depending on the
manufacturer, there is a driver’s seat behind the
hopper, and a type with a screed behind it is more
common.

5. How to use asphalt finisher
Operation is basically done by two people
except for small ones. Driver to operate the
vehicle and, people to operate the screed
divided into will continue to the paving of roads.
Vehicles are classified according to the width of
the screed.
Some of the large vehicles have a screed width
of 9 to 12 meters, but in asphalt pavements of
roads and parking lots, except in special cases,
most sites use vehicles of around 6 meters.
It is said that there are many senses in which the
experience says things.
If you are not familiar with it, reduce your speed,
layout apart and repeat the work to check
consistency!Previous Next
6. Mechanism of asphalt
finisher
How does an asphalt finisher work?
First of all, the material to be fed
from the hopper is fed to the
screed part. And it is a mechanism
that screed spreads the material
that has been sent.

7. Asphalt finisher has two
types of travel functions
There are 2 types of travel
types, crawler type, and
wheel type. What’s the
difference is that there are
differences in the functions of
the running part!

8. Difference between crawler-
type and wheel type
A type:– That travels with crawler type caterpillar.
Although public roads cannot run, the advantage is
that the ground contact area is wide and stability is
high. It is used at steep sites and sites with soft ground.
Caterpillar
B type:- That travels with a wheel type tire. Therefore, if
you get the number as a large special car, you can run
on public roads as well!
It is used for laying asphalt, which is the main task of the
work.
However, the asphalt finisher will appear at a very late
stage of work, and there is a lot of work by then.

9. Asphalt pavement is
important at first
A well-fixed roadbed and a stable roadbed are
essential. If you lose your interest in that part, you will
create a bad road with a very short life span! After
paving work, it is time for asphalt finisher at the
laying stage! The speed of asphalt finisher at work is
quite slow, but it is important to keep on moving
without stopping at a constant speed in order to lay
the asphalt on the clean. In the unlikely event that
there is no asphalt mixture in the hopper, it may be
necessary to run dump trucks loaded with the
mixture in parallel.
Once the asphalt finisher lays the asphalt, finally it is
compacted with a road roller and done!
