Caterpillar’s AP655D asphalt paver can be used to pave highways, streets, county roads, lane additions, industrial sites, overlays, airport runways and other medium- to high-production size paving jobs. The dual swing-out operator stations have four different positions and can be moved beyond the machine frame for greater visibility when precise paving control is required. Tilting consoles offer multiple positions that allow the operator to be comfortably positioned for long hours of operation. An Advisor Monitoring System includes project planning calculators, start-up checklists, engine operating parameters and many other features to assist the operator. The system also lists fault codes for machine functions, making troubleshooting quick and easy. The Mobil-trac undercarriage offers increased traction when operating on unstable bases or on grades, less ground pressure and better flotation compared to wheel-type pavers. High travel speeds allow quick repositioning at job sites or for travel to the next site. Mobil-trac can be purchased with either raised tread-bar belt or the smooth belt. The smooth belt offers less disturbance of the base materials, yet provides good traction on a variety of surfaces. An optional steel track undercarriage incorporates special quad-roller rear bogies, Cat D3 track rails, and automatic tensioning to deliver a smooth ride, and is a more economical alternative to the Mobil-trac.
The AP655D has three steering modes: pave, travel and maneuver. The maneuver mode is unique to Caterpillar and permits the tracks to counter-rotate, allowing the machine to turn within its own footprint. This provides quick mobility in commercial applications when moving to a new starting point.
The gateless material handling system promotes hands-free operation by providing features such as ratio control dials, and independent control of each auger and each conveyor. The independent operation reduces component wear and minimizes the potential for mix segregation. Reversible augers and conveyors assist the crew by reducing handwork and cleanup. The reversible augers are able to pull asphalt back into the main screed area when retracting the extenders while the reversible conveyors pull asphalt back into the tunnels, resulting in limited spillage.
The foldable front hopper apron offers a power folding option. The apron folds rearward providing good material flow while reducing clean-out effort and time, a feature the crew will really appreciate.
The Cat C6.6 engine is a turbocharged, 6-cylinder diesel that provides 129 kW (174 hp) of power. The tractor-mounted generator provides 25 kW of power at 60 Hz for the electric screed heat and auxiliary power.
The AS3251C screed with rear-mounted extenders and the AS2252C screed with front-mounted extenders provide fast warm-up and simple operation.
The AS3251C vibratory screed features hydraulically-driven, rear-mounted extenders. Heavy-duty support tubes stabilize the extender providing even material flow for high quality results on highways and streets as well as commercial applications.
The AS2252C vibratory screed features narrow front-mounted extenders. The extenders utilize 229-mm (9-inch) wide screed plates making it a perfect fit for commercial applications by reducing the need for handwork when changing paving widths.
