Material Flow Is Key to New Ammann Mini Paver AFW 150-2

The new Ammann AFW 150-2 Paver features a hydraulically extendible screed and several significant material flow enhancements. The mini paver, with a weight of 1150 kg and paving width capabilities of 250 mm to 1650 mm, utilises a screed similar to those on large road pavers. The system enables quick and effortless hydraulic extension of the screed while the machine is operating.

Auger diameter has been increased from 100 mm to 120 mm to ensure consistent material distribution along the length of the screed. Also enhancing material flow is a new mechanical sensor that monitors the screed in its entirety to ensure asphalt is distributed evenly.

The new conveyor concept with the completely redesigned material flow divider is another material flow advancement that has been made. The mechanical material flow divider, conveniently located and operated by easy-to-engage hand levers, allows the operator to select whether asphalt is distributed on both sides of the paver, on one side, or stopped entirely.

The possibility to easily load the machine with a skid steers from the side stays one of the advantages of this machine. An optional insert is wider and longer than the standard hopper and makes it even easier to load the machine from any side.

Machine control and precise steering is granted with the operator platform that features a steering wheel for optimal control. An updated display and a secure location for LPG gas bottles round up the operator platform.

Sufficient and reliable power for all applications is given by the Hatz Diesel engine. The engine is well known to Ammann, with a similar model successfully utilised in light compaction equipment for years.

Improved machine design is another strength of the new AFW 150-2. Air inlets are located on the side of the cooler to help prevent asphalt and aggregate from reaching the engine compartment. The service hood opens wide for easy access, important when it comes to service and maintenance work.
