Abstract: A spraying system for a road construction machine includes an emulsion fluid delivery system including an emulsion fluid supply, an emulsion pump, at least one spray bar with one or more nozzles, and flow conduits arranged to convey emulsion through the emulsion fluid delivery system. The spraying system may include a cleaning fluid tank containing a cleaning fluid, where the cleaning fluid tank is fluidly coupled to the emulsion fluid delivery system during a cleaning process. The spraying system may also include a flow monitoring system configured to monitor the amount of cleaning fluid delivered from the cleaning fluid tank to the emulsion fluid delivery system, where the flow monitoring system is configured to provide an indication regarding the amount of cleaning fluid delivered to the emulsion fluid delivery system during the cleaning process.

Abstract: A paving system may include a paving machine, including a paving material delivery assembly, including a hopper, a conveyor assembly, an auger, and a screed. The paving machine may also include an emulsion fluid delivery assembly including a plurality of spray bars, wherein each spray bar includes one or more nozzles. The paving system may also include a controller and a display interface. The controller may be configured to receive inputs from the display interface indicative of a mass and an area of emulsion fluid delivered from one active nozzle in order to calibrate the emulsion fluid delivery assembly.

Abstract: Systems and methods for spraying control in a paving machine comprise a screed system having an adjustable width, a position sensor configured to sense widths of the screed system, a spray bar having adjustable positions, a spray bar actuator to adjust positions of the spray bar, a spray bar sensor to sense positions of the spray bar, and a controller coupled to the position sensor, spray bar actuator and spray bar sensor that is configured to adjust the spray bar actuator depending on the sensed width. The spray bar sensor and actuator can be integrated together.

Abstract: A paving system includes a paving machine, a controller, and a control panel. The paving machine includes a machine frame, a drive assembly, and a paving material delivery assembly, which includes a hopper, a conveyor assembly, an auger, and a screed. The paving machine also includes an emulsion fluid delivery assembly, including a tank of emulsion fluid and a spray bar including a plurality of nozzles. The controller is wired or wirelessly coupled to the tank and the spray bar to control at least one of a temperature, pressure, or delivery rate of the emulsion fluid through the nozzles.
