The largest fully automatic SMG paver for synthetic sports
surfaces and elastic layers is the PlanoMatic P936. With an
installation width of 3.500 mm the P936 achieves a theoretical
performance of up to 950 m²/h with a working speed of
c. 4.5 m/min.
The modular concept with proven components and a carefully
thought-out and robust design are a guaranty of lasting
functional use. The PlanoMatic P928, also a fully automatic
paver, achieves a performance of up to 750 m²/h. Its installation
width is 2.700 mm and it is ideal for athletic running
tracks and school sports facilities.
The semi automatic version PlanoMatic P228 has the same
installation width. This paver is a reasonable alternative with
only less electric and hydraulic components. For smaller areas
the semi automatic paver PlanoMatic P220 can be
used with an installation width of 1.800 mm.
In contrast to the semi automatic versions P228 and P220,
the fully automatic versions P936 and P928 are equipped
with an automatic curve control for running tracks and a
hydraulic controlled undercarriage. Additionally the fully
automatic versions can optionally support the planar
paving, especially on unbounded subbases, by means
of an automatic levelling device (sensor/tactile unit).
On the fully automatic machines the thickness can be
conveniently changed by pushing a button on the control
panel - on the semi automatic machines it can be
changed by manual turning of the hand wheels on the
screed.
Semi automatic as well as fully automatic SMG pavers are
provided with control panels on both sides and are able to
operate all functions easily and clearly. Supplementary the
driving direction of the machine can be steered by integrated
key switches on the front of the undercarriages.
The operator seat can be fixed on the left or right, as required,
and is adjustable to provide the most ergonomic
position for the operator. A separate seat support can be
attached for paving along fences or barriers. In order to
clean and maintain, the screed can be simply swung upwards.
Only a few manual grips are required to remove the
driving chains.
In order to ensure a homogeneous surface,
the screed is quickly brought
up to temperature with
proven electrical heating
bars. A control thermostat
keeps the operating
temperature of the screed
constant during paving.
The installation width can be
individually selected via limiter plates;
thicknesses are adjustable from 6 to 50 mm
using hydraulic control.
For an optimal surface quality the compaction can be
adapted accordingly by adjusting the inclination angle
of the screed. Material limiters installed on the side of the
screed assure exact paving edgings for surfaces without
joints. If the sensor unit (P928/P936) is used as well, the manual
smoothing of the joints can be almost passed. The running
speed is infinitely variable between 0.8 - 4.5 m/min.
The chain drive unit of the latest generation is generally
140 mm wide and can be quipped with two different driving
chain versions, depending on the type of subbase. This
means that the PlanoMatic can safely drive on bounded as
well as unbounded subbase constructions. The transport undercarriage
of the P928 and P936 will be hydraulically lifted
but can also be lifted manually via hand pump. The P228
and P220 can only be lifted by using the hand pump. As an
additional option the paver can be featured with a suitable
generator. The generator mounted on a swivelling console
is safely protected and securely fixed to the PlanoMatic. An
external power supply is therefore not required. The generator
is protected by its own chassis structure.
