Technical description

Basic design
Self-propelled machine for thermal
treatment of bituminous pavements.
The HM 4500 is employed to pre-heat
and soften the existing bituminous sur-
face prior to further processing stages.
Brake system
Braking is achieved by drag from the
hydrostatic transmission. The machine
is in addition fitted with an automatic
parking brake.
ing, the heater panels can be folded to-
gether like a concertina and then raised
by means of two hydraulically driven
winches.
Operator’s stand

Base frame
Rigid, welded frame of reinforced steel
profiles with fixtures for the operational
units and superstructure. All compo-
nents are easily accessible for service
and repair.
Axle suspension
The front axle is free-floating, and the
rear wheels are rigidly connected to the
base frame.
Steering
The machine is equipped with a finger-
light hydraulic 4-wheel steering sys-
tem. Both axles can be individually
steered (crab steer).
Travel drive
The rear axle is driven via a hydraulic
motor fed by a variable displacement
pump which is flanged to the main en-
gine. The travel and working speed is
infinitely variable from zero to maxi-
mum speed. Switching from travel to
working speed is effected hydraulically.
