Wirtgen debuts new cold recycler, concrete pavers at Bauma

The Wirtgen outdoor Booth at the recent Bauma trade show in Munich was chock full of new iron for contractors in the paving business. It was also the first joint trade show with John Deere, and the Deere folks brought a dozen or so U.S. sourced construction machines to the booth, not necessarily to sell in Europe but to test the waters and show the Europeans what the brand was all about. Deere, which previously had no paving equipment of its own, bought Wirtgen for $5.2 billion in 2017.

 

New cold recycler

W 380 CRi

In the Wirtgen display contractors saw a new W 380 CRi cold recycler designed to meet the needs of the aging global road network and offering a way to rehabilitate roads quickly and economically while reusing the paving material in an environmentally friendly way.

The cold recycling process grinds up and reuses the surface and base materials of a deteriorating road and mixes it into a homogeneous material with binding agents such as cement, bitumen emulsion or foamed bitumen.

With working widths of 3,200, 3,500 and 3,800 millimeters (126, 138 and 150 inches) and a recycling depth between 100 and 300 millimeters (4 to 12 inches) in most applications the W 380 Cri can feed up to 800 tons per hour of material to a paver via its swivel mounted, height adjustable discharge conveyor at the rear.

 

Slipform concrete pavers

Wirtgen’s new SP124i and SP124 slipform concrete pavers have a working width of 12 meters with four steerable and slewing crawler units and an optional slew drive steering system with a steering angle of up to 260 degrees. This maneuverability allows you to pave a surface adjacent to a building and turn almost on the spot without wasting time on repositioning. The higher steering angle is achieved by equipping all four crawler units with slew drive as standard. These are turned in 90 degrees during transport.

The new pavers are powered by Cummins diesel engines with 321 kilowatts (420 horsepower) and can lay down concrete pavements from 4.5- to 12-meters wide (14.5 to 39.3 feet) and up to 450 millimeters (17.7 inches) thick. Options include a self-loading dowel bar inserter with fully automated dowel magazine, tie bar and side tie bar inserter or trough systems.

PHOTOS: The Equipment and Crowds of Bauma 2019 (Part 2)

More than any other trade show on the planet, Bauma, hosted every three years in Munich, Germany, is a walking show. After spending nearly a whole week at this year’s show, I checked my Apple Watch activity stats and found that I averaged nearly 10 miles of walking each day at the show thanks to countless trips up and down the “expressway” that cuts through the Munich convention center’s 18-building layout and in and out of the gargantuan outdoor exhibition area. According to show managers, a record 620,000+ people from more than 200 countries visited this year’s show. Apart from the crowds this was the largest Bauma yet in sheer size with more than 3,700 exhibitors spread across 2.1 million square feet of indoor exhibit space and an additional 4.5 million square feet of outdoor space. Only slightly behind the number of steps my watch logged during the show are the number of images I grabbed with my camera with the goal of giving our readers a feeling of what being at this show is li

Deere dealer West Side Tractor plans $14M HQ in Illinois

A rendering of the future West Side Tractor headquarters in Lisle, Illinois. West Side Tractor is planning a $14 million headquarters in the same town where the family-owned company was founded in 1962. The John Deere construction and forestry equipment dealer has outgrown its 3.5-acre site in Naperville, Illinois, and is renovating two former auto dealerships on 11 acres in Lisle, where the Benck family started its business. The new site will allow the company to double its building space to 75,000 square feet over the current headquarters, once renovations are completed. Located at 3300 Ogden Avenue near Interstates 88 and 355, about 5 miles from the current site, it will not only consist of the corporate headquarters but will offer equipment sales and rentals, parts and service. It will also help bring new life and investment to a site that had closed due to the 2008 recession, the company says. “We’re proud of our roots and are thrilled to be able to reinvigorate this part
