Reliable Water Spray System Dual or single spray bar operation provides flexibility to conserve water, yet perform well in the most unfavorable operating conditions. versatile Vibratory Systems The Cat vibratory systems provide quality results in all types of conditions. The very popular Versa VibeTM system offers high frequency or high amplitude in a single machine, while the five amplitude system excels on thick lifts and demanding mix designs. [. . . ] Thumb switches located on the propel lever allow the operator to choose between single or dual spray bar operation. If a spray nozzle does plug, simply switching to the other spray bar can keep you on the mat. Excellent Filtration Keeping the spray nozzles free of foreign particles is essential to asphalt compaction. The Cat system uses filters located in the tank, before the water pumps, and in the spray nozzles, offering triple protection that minimizes clogs. The filters are highly accessible and can be quickly removed for cleaning without the use of tools, limiting machine downtime. The standard brass spray nozzles offer long life and are able to withstand the rigors of cleaning. Sound Designs Improve Performance Hours of upfront testing contribute to sound designs that improve performance for long hours of continuous operation. Long-Life Pumps Dual water pumps provide the necessary flow to the spray nozzles. When using the single spray bar mode in automatic, the pump usage alternates with the direction of travel so that only one pump operates at a time. Alternating pump usage extends the operational life, while lowering replacement costs. When supplying both spray bars, both pumps operate at the same time, providing twice the flow. Keeping the Drum Clean Two, self-adjusting spring-loaded scrapers located on the front and rear of each drum prevent material build-up and keep the drum clean. The four, heavy-duty springs maintain consistent pressure across the entire drum width in order to optimize scraper performance. Drum Supports The thick steel fabrication used in production provides a strong, solid frame that resists flexing and holds up to the tough operating conditions of asphalt compaction. The heavy-duty construction optimizes vibratory efficiency by directing vibration into the mat, not through the machine frame as wasted energy. 5 Powertrain Smooth control and quiet operation leads to higher productivity. The Cat powertrain offers responsive controls and the power you need to succeed, even in the toughest conditions. 4 engine with ACERT Technology provides a gross power of 102 kW (137 hp) and meets U. The increased power improves performance on applications when rolling resistance is amplified, such as inclines and thick lifts. Stability Through Turns Gradual turns at the end of the each pass are common practice for asphalt compactors. This technique can often lead to weight transfer toward the outside edge of the leading drum, resulting in deep cut marks left in the mat. To combat this, Cat asphalt compactors utilize a non-oscillating hitch design that limits weight transfer and provides even force across the entire width of the drum, limiting mat marks and improving quality. [. . . ] These programs can prevent unscheduled downtime during the busy paving season. machine Tracking Made Easy The optional Product Link System ensures maximum uptime and minimal repair costs by simplifying the tracking of equipment fleets. The system provides automatic machine location, hour updates, and diagnostic codes that can be used to schedule service requirements at more opportune times. 8 Customer Support Proven to Increase Profits Cat Dealers offer the highest level of support available.
