Sustainable road construction solutions displayed at World of Asphalt 2022

At the booth, visitors from all areas of the industry learned more about the innovative machines and technological solutions from the Wirtgen Group and John Deere. (Image source: Wirtgen)

At World of Asphalt 2022 (WoA) Wirtgen Group shared a booth with John Deere and presented the world premiere of the W 120 Fi compact milling machine

Wirtgen 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 – above all the digital assistance systems Mill Assist, Wirtgen Performance Tracker (WPT) and the Level Pro Active levelling system. 

WoA attendees were also treated to exhibits from Wirtgen, Vögele, Hamm, Kleemann and John Deere as a host of market-oriented and holistc solutions across the entire road construction process chain were displayed. 

Pavers from Vögele are distinguished by optimal efficiency and ease of operation, and visitors to the show were able to see the SUPER 700i Mini Class paver with the AB 200, which, with a standard working width of only 1.1 m, is the smallest extending screed from Vögele. The Special Class was represented by the SUPER 1800-3i SprayJet, which applies the bitumen emulsion and places the asphalt pavement in a single pass. As products developed especially for the North American market, the SUPER 2000-3i 10-foot class paver in combination with the VF 600 extending screed with front-mounted extensions attracted particular interest at the show.

As examples of its extensive product portfolio, Hamm presented the HD 12i VV and HD+ 120i VV-HF (High Frequency) articulated tandem rollers and the DV+ 70i VV-S pivot-steered tandem roller. With the HD 14i TT compact pneumatic tyre roller, the roller specialists presented another new machine for the North American market.

The MOBIREX MR 110i EVO2 impact crusher from Kleemann stands for the efficient processing of recycling materials. Visitors to the booth were interested in the machine’s 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 doesn’t have to leave the driving seat of the excavator or wheel loader. 

The MR 110i EVO2 was presented together with a 904 P-Tier wheel loader from John Deere. As a production system, this pair of machines on show at WoA also stood as a striking example of the production systems the company group offers as solutions for the entire road construction process chain.
