User manual KAWAI X50-D

[. . . ] 2 Versatility Defines the X50-D The X50-D excels in a wide range of applications from routine commercial jobs to demanding highway operations. Undercarriage The X50-D can be equipped with either the Mobil-tracTM undercarriage or the steel track undercarriage. The Mobil-trac system combines the traction and flotation benefits of a crawler undercarriage with the mobility, speed, and ride characteristics of a wheel paver. A steel track undercarriage is available as a more economical alternative. [. . . ] The airflow design draws ambient air across the engine compartment and through the coolers. This design allows the exhaust air to exit toward the hopper in order to provide a cooler engine compartment and cooler operating environment. The variable speed fan is electronically controlled and hydraulically driven to provide on-demand cooling. This on-demand operation reduces engine power demand, lowers sound levels, and increases fuel efficiency. A suction system efficiently removes asphalt fumes from the auger chamber area assuring the best operating conditions and comfort for the crew. Asphalt fumes extraction with hydraulically driven fan is combined with engine exhaust into a single outlet stack. 4 Operator Comforts for a Productive Environment The dual operator's station with sliding control console promotes optimum comfort, visibility and ease of use. The ergonomic dual operator's station incorporates a sliding control console, ground speed indicators, adjustable suspension seats, armrests and retractable seat belts. The dual swing-out operator's station can be positioned in one of five different locations to provide optimum visibility. The stations can extend beyond the machine frame for good visibility when paving applications require precise control. The sliding control console is fully equipped with comprehensive controls allowing the operator to conveniently monitor all machine functions. Keeping the conveyors close together allows the material to flow together more easily as it discharges into the auger cavity. The tunnel and auger design eliminates voids under the chain case in order to minimize segregation. The auger assembly is hydraulically adjustable with a range of 215 mm. The ability to adjust the auger assembly simplifies loading and unloading from a transport vehicle. Also, when working with larger stone mixes, the augers can be adjusted to allow the mix to flow unrestricted under the auger assembly. It reduces clean out effort and time, a feature the crew will really appreciate. A switch located on the operating control console provides power to the hydraulic folding apron. *Note: The front hopper apron is standard without the power control and folding wings. The four position adjustable push rollers provide a contact point between the paver and the truck to center the load and assist steering while unloading. 5 6 7 8 1 Curved Hopper Design 2 Independently Controlled Conveyors 3 Narrow Chain Guard 4 Folding Front Apron 5 6 7 8 Independent Auger Drives 406 mm Auger Diameter Foldable Wings Power Folding Front Apron 7 Optional Generator System Provides Quiet Power The high capacity generator provides power for the electric screed heat, auxiliary lights and job site tools. The tractor-mounted generator provides 25 kW of power at 60 Hz for the electric screed heat and the auxiliary power panel. [. . . ] 6 liters Suspension The high-speed Mobil-tracTM undercarriage consists of a durable, high-strength rubber belt with a thick outer cover that includes five internal layers of flexible steel cable. Net power advertised is the power available at the flywheel when the engine is equipped with alternator, air cleaner, muffler and fan. Parking Brake Features Safety and parking brakes system includes a spring applied, hydraulically released brake which is actuated by a switch on the operator's station control console. Steering Hydraulic power assist steering system provides smooth, low effort steering by means of a steering wheel. [. . . ]
