Title: Thin-lift recycling of asphalt pavement. SAE Paper 760662

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6727969

Five basic steps of efficient and economical continuous thin-lift asphalt pavement recycling are listed and the design features of the Cutler Repaver are described. The huge, mobile, self-propelled asphalt paving plant utilizes the five steps with integrated components as follows: softening the old road surface with radiant heat produced by ceramic emitters; loosening a thin layer of old material with air-bag mounted scarifiers; mixing new and old material with liquid asphalt in a pug mill; laying, and compacting the new road surface with a vibratory screed; and completing the softening, loosening, mixing, laying and compacting operations in one continuous operation.
