Wirtgen 3800 CR Recycler Put On the Spot in San Jose Resurface Project

3800 CR recycler is working in situ with Vogele VISION 5200-2i tracked paver to remove and transfer recycled material to the paver to resurface San Jose's main traffic arteries

The milling and mixing rotor of the Wirtgen 3800 CR granulates the damaged asphalt layers to a depth of 18 cm. At the same time, cement is mixed in and water and bitumen emulsion or foamed bitumen are injected into the mixing chamber via injection bars. The final mix is transferred via the discharge conveyor directly to the material hopper of the Vögele paver which then paves true to line and level. Afterwards, Hamm asphalt rollers compact the pavement.
