RP 235.jpg (59133 bytes)

The RP-235 track paver is a heavy-duty, highproduction paver in a class by itself. Powered by a 234 horsepower diesel engine and hydrostatically propelled by a D-4 sizetrack system, the RP235 is the most powerful track paver available.  Superb access and component location makes routine maintenance easy. Ni-hard conveyor liners and hydraulically-adjustable augers are standard equipment.

ENGINE
Cummins 6 CTA8.3,6-cylinder, turbocharged diesel, 234 HP (174 kw) 0 2,200 rpm.

PROPEL SYSTEM
Variable-displacement hydraulic pumps driving twospeed planetaries. Paving speed 0-275 fpm (83.8 m/ min.); travel speed 0-4.5 mph (7.2 kph).

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Heavy-duty 24-volt starting system with 12-volt operating system. 90-amp alternator. All electric-overhydraulic solenoids have manual override.

AUGERS
17'(432 mm) x3/4" (19.1 mm) thick Ni-hard, hydraulically-raisableaugersystern with tilt capabilities which allow the operator to maintain a parallel position of the auger and screed bottom.

TRACKS
Heavy-duty D-4 size tracks for longer life and lower maintenance costs. Standard features include 16inch polyurethane grousers, bogie-mounted track rollers and hydraulically-activated tension rollers.

SCREED
10' (3.0 my standard vibratory screed equipped with 32' (813 mm) wide, 1/2' (112.7 mm) thick T-1 plate replaceable wearing surface. Crowning capacity of 3.5% positive to 0.1 % negative.

FUME EXTRACTION SYSTEM
Two blowers -- total air flow 4,200 cu f/min. (1118.9 cum/min.). Fold-down 10"(254 mm) exhaust pipe.

SERVICE CAPACITY

OPTIONS

SCREED EXTENSIONS
Standard screed may be extended to 24'(7.3 my with no external support and 42' (12.8 my with external support using 6" (1152 mmy, 12" (305 mm), 24" (610 mm) and 36"(914 mm) extensions. A 24"(610 mm) extension is available with crowning.

TUNNEL AND AUGER EXTENSIONS
Tunnel and Ni-hard auger extensions are available to optimize material feed across the screed when using screed extensions.

HYDRAULIC STRIKE-OFF EXTENSIONS
Left-and right-hand hydraulic strike-offs permit rapid changes in paving widths up to 4'(1.2 my on either side of the 10'(3.0 my standard screed while paving. Either side may be articulated from 6.6% to negative 3.3% for crown or wedge courses by use of electric Jack Screws or hydraulically.

AUTOMATIC GRADE CONTROL
An electric/hydraulic system that automatically controls the elevation of the mat being placed on one side of the machine with respect to a reference surface such as an adjacent mat or curb. Also available insets to control mat elevation on both sides of the paver/ finisher simultaneously.

AUTOMATIC SLOPE CONTROL
Slope may be maintained with respect to either the right or left reference grade of the screed.

AVERAGING SKI
30' (9.1 m) and 40' (112.2 m) skis provide improved leveling of existing surfaces by providing an average reference grade for the automatic grade control.

CUTOFF SHOES
One- and two-foot (0.3 m and 0.6 my cutoff shoes are available for reduced-width paving.

PROPANE BURNERS
HYDRAULICGENERATOR
HOPPER INSERT FOR SHUTTLE BUGGY USE SONAR GRADE AND SLOPE CONTROLS
