Components
The spray paver is made up of three groups and four systems:
Groups:
Emulsion tank
Pump
Emulsion spray
Systems:
Hydraulic
Pneumatic
Heating
Control
Emulsion tank group
The emulsion tank group includes the emulsion tank(s) and associated
equipment:
Avoid damage:
If the paver is configured with emulsion tanks
mounted in the asphalt hopper, do not tilt the hopper. Attempting to
tilt the hopper will damage the tanks and/or paver
.
Emulsion tank(s)
The emulsion tank is an insulated vessel that holds the hot emulsion for
spraying.
One tank can be mounted on the paver deck (Figure 3), and/or two tanks
can be mounted in the asphalt hopper (Figure 4).
Note:
If emulsion tanks are to be removed, first drain them.
Use all the lifting eyes when lifting to distribute their weight as
evenly as possible.
Each tank has a dipstick and a large level indicator on the side for
checking emulsion level.
