Dynapac Introduces Paver Line for North America MarketDynapac’s F1000T tracked and F1000W
wheeled 10-ft. (3 m)-wide asphalt pavershave been designed from the road up withthe contractor in mind.
Designed especially for the NorthAmerican market with input from dealersand contractors, the F1000 series pavers canhandle extreme conditions in remote loca-tions, yet are easy to operate and service,according to the manufacturer.
The F1000 series features heavy weldedframe construction, dual swing-out operatorstations and low deck height. The result isenhanced visibility for the operator, whonow has a clear view of the hopper and auger— and a full view of the work area.
The .75 in. (1.9 cm) formed hopper wingsdeliver asphalt to a high-capacity slat con-veyor with a wide material tunnel and extraheavy chains and slats. The high-perform-ance outboard auger drive and the conveyordesign eliminates the auger chain drive boxand means no center line segregation. Theconveyor system delivers 600 tons (544 t)per hour of asphalt to either a Carlson EZ IIIor EZ IV screed to lay mats up to 12 in. (30.5cm) deep on new placements, and thin over-lays on rehabilitation projects.
To complement the rugged design of thepavers, a dual computer system and reliablerelay logic controls have been incorporatedinto the machine to withstand harsh environ-ments and the demands of the job site. Themulti-function display makes it easy to cali-brate the system.
Powered by a Cummins QSB-220 Tier III
diesel engine operating at 230 hp (171 kW)and 1800 rpm, the F1000 series also featuresan integrated Sauer drive system. The avail-ability of these parts throughout the countrymeans quick turn-around for maintenanceand repair for maximum uptime on the site.A 36 kW, 60 Hz generator provides full out-put at low idle for increased fuel economy.
The F1000 series is easy to operate withfeatures and functions that have beendesigned with operator comfort and safety inmind. The simple controls and multi-func-tion display are operator friendly andgrouped for convenience. The precisionfront-wheel assist steering on the F1000W istight and responsive, and the steering on theF1000T can be controlled by a knob for pre-cise paving speed control. A return-to-centerfeature is an advantage on both models, aswell as a single lever for forward/reversecontrol. Fumes exhaust through the enginestack, reducing the crew’s exposure toasphalt fumes.
Uptime is critical on any paving job so theF1000 series is easy to troubleshoot andservice, according to the manufacturer.
No daily lubrication is required on thetractor, and two fuel tanks are at ground levelfor quick refueling. A single panel at the sidegives full access to filters, and flip-opendoors and a removable top cover give fullaccess to the engine and hydraulic lines.There is a pressurized hydraulic filtrationsystem with one-piece hydraulic valve man-ifolds offering simple maintenance. And for
overall maintenance, the radiator and oilcooler have been designed to withstand pres-sure washing.
Electronics in harsh environments can bean issue in some cases, but not with theF1000 series pavers. The sealed wiring har-ness in the sealed fuse box is designed foreasy service in a clean enclosure. The logicrelays feature an LED power indicator,latching indicator and mechanical overridefor fast trouble shooting and quick replace-ment. The Sauer cartridge valves have a
manual override, and the drive system is eas-ily disengaged with a simple manual con-veyor tension to move the paver in the eventof a major failure.
“We call it ‘Uptime from Design,’” saidBruce Truesdale, president, Dynapac USA.“Everything on this paver has been designedto help contractors improve productivity,reliability, operator comfort and safety andreduce total cost of ownership.”
