Introducing the New

Ammann AFW 500 Asphalt Paver

LANGENTHAL, Switzerland – The Ammann Group is pleased to announce the release of the
new Ammann AFW 500 Wheeled Asphalt Paver, available in India and neighbouring countries,
Africa and Southeast Asia (excluding S. Korea, Australia & New Zealand). The wheel-driven
AFW 500 features a standard paving width of 2.55 meter – 4.9 meter – with an ability to pave up
to 6.5 metres with mechanical extensions.

The new AFW 500 is an update of the previous paver of the same name and includes several
enhancements to match the machine to the needs of customers in the local marketplace.

Marketing Strategy

The AFW 500, with its ability to pave up to 6.5 metres, fills a void in the mid-range paver segment
for emerging markets. The machine is well suited to the placement of both binders and surface
(or top) lifts. The machine’s capacity and size make it an ideal fit for larger road projects, such as
highway projects.

The AFW 500 relies on European technology and is a fit for customers who focus on larger road
projects.

Key Features & Benefits

Operator-friendly dashboard
Operation of the machine is kept simple with the new advanced dashboard and screed control
panel, created specifically for the AFW 500. The panel is simple to understand and operate, yet
provides advantages such as lit buttons for optimal visibility when working at night. Individual
control unit parts allow economical replacement.

A central 5” colour display provides the operator with key information regarding the ongoing
paving process. The display also enables simple troubleshooting tips, maintenance schedule &
alarm indications.

A standard CAN bus connection between the individual control units makes replacement easy
and allows for reprogramming as needed.

Excellent visibility
The paver design, sliding seat and dashboard enable the operator to see all phases of the paving
process, which improves productivity, quality and safety.

Leveling system choices

The control unit allows the installation of any common leveling system- the choice is up to the
customer. The installation plug is pre-mounted and allows for quick connection to the leveling
sensors and controls.

Low discharge heights

Lower height reduces material spillage that can cause mat defects. Hopper height also matches
trucks of varied sizes, increasing fleet utilisation and making it easier to find outside haulers with
appropriately sized vehicles.
