New asphalt compaction machines are now being offered by several of the key manufacturers. Many of these are equipped with the latest technology to offer a combination of high productivity and quality while there are also additions to the markets for compact twin drum rollers and rubber tyred machines. From Ammann comes the new diesel ARX26, which is powered by a choice of two Kubota engines, both of which meet Stage V/Tier 4 Final emissions requirements. The version with the 26kW Kubota engine is the top-of-the-range diesel model offering high performance, although there is also a variant with a 19kW Kubota unit. This last unit comes under the power limit for a machine to be fitted with a diesel paniculate filter (DPF), offering a considerable cost saving for maintenance and suits use by rental firms. Versions meeting Tier 3 requirements are offered also. In addition, a low-cost version of the ARX26 is offered with power from a Honda petrol engine. While the build quality is the same as for the other units, Ammann says that it has fewer operating features, suiting it to purchase by customers wanting a simple machine. |
