‘Hot to hot’ paving with Edge Detection
A construction company automated the adjustment of the screed width of its Dash 5 paver by detecting and following a joint edge with the Edge Detection laser sensor from V?gele. This ensured precise and resource-efficient paving and simultaneously reduced the paver operator’s workload.
An extraordinary construction site placing unique demands on man and machine: Works to expand the Rabenleite Upper Reservoir in Bavaria saw the deployment of two battery-powered electric tandem rollers from Hamm. Both machines produced impressed results, delivering full compaction power even on extreme inclines.
Benninghoven and KWS Infra in the Netherlands have successfully implemented a pioneering Retrofit project: On the asphalt mixing plant in Eindhoven, the dryer drum as well as the burner were updated to state-of-the-art Benninghoven technology. This has increased the plant capacity and energy efficiency while ensuring the long-term viability of the site.
