AIM450 Asphalt Paver Finisher

An asphalt paver is the machine that lays the asphalt. The asphalt mix is loaded into the machine which then spreads out and lays the asphalt which is then leveled and compacted by a part of the machine called the screed.A paver is a piece of construction equipment used to lay asphalt concrete or Portland cement concrete on roads, bridges, parking lots and other such places. It lays the material flat and provides minor compaction. This is typically followed by final compaction by a road roller. The most common modern asphalt paver is composed of the following components: engine, hydraulic drives and controls, drive tracks, hopper, feeding conveyor, distribution augers, and the screed. The screed is made up of leveling arms, moldboard, end plates, burners, vibrators, and slope sensors.
