  • Publication number: 20230056940
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a paving machine and related methods. In one example, a paving machine includes a first group of sprayers positioned on an underside of a body of the paving machine, and a second group of sprayers positioned downstream of the first group. The first group of sprayers dispense a first product on an existing road and the second group of sprayers dispense a second product over the first product. The paving machine includes a channel positioned downstream of the second group of sprayers to dispense an asphalt mixture over the second product, and a screed positioned adjacent to the channel in contact with the asphalt mixture.

  • Patent number: 10975530
    Abstract: Various implementations include a machine for resurface existing roads. The machine may include a premixed stress absorbing membrane interlayer (SAMI) material distribution component configured to distribute a premixed SAMI material on an existing road. The distributed premixed SAMI material may include a mixture and/or combination of binding material and pre-cut fiber material. The machine may also include a channel positioned adjacent and downstream of the premixed SAMI material distribution component. The channel may be configured to supply an asphalt mixture directly over the premixed SAMI material. Additionally, the machine may include a screed positioned adjacent the channel. The screed may be positioned to contact the asphalt mixture.

  • Patent number: 8202021
    Abstract: A method of cold in-place recycling of asphalt to remediate distressed roads. Asphalt particles obtained by milling the existing asphalt are limited by screening to a maximum size of about one inch length. Asphalt particle size may be established by limiting tooth spacing of the road milling equipment milling head to about 5/16 inch or 8 millimeter spacing intervals. A predetermined proportion of portland cement, water, and asphalt emulsion are added to generate asphalt particles. Portland cement may be deposited onto the existing asphalt prior to milling. The resulting combination is mixed to generate a recycled mix, which may then be discharged onto the road being remediated and further processed, such as by screeding, compacting, and sealing.
