Cold Planers Types of Cutting Rotors
Low Density Asphalt Tooth wear at various depths for a given material
Depth PM201 is affected by how long the tooth remains in the cut.
Because the teeth are mounted on a circular drum,
mm in m/min ft/min
each tooth cuts through the pavement in an arc. The
51 2 40 130
tooth arc at a 102 mm (4 in) cutting depth, however,
101 4 32 105
is not four times longer than at a 25 mm (1 in) cut-
127 5 21 70
ting depth, even though production may be four
178 7 12 40
times greater. The cutting arc at 102 mm (4 in) is
254 10 6 20
approximately twice as long as that at 25 mm (1 in).

The peak cutting depth for a particular cold planer

production, and subsequent costs, of a single deep
cut versus multiple passes at a shallow depth.

● Maximum Ground Pressures Compactors
NOTES:
1. Each tire type has a unique pressure distribution which varies with both tire inflation pressure and wheel
load. The distribution of pressure along both transverse and longitudinal profiles is rarely uniform.
2. The measurements in this table represent the peak pressures measured in a transverse profile at each of
the ballast conditions at maximum tire inflation pressure.
3. For most applications, it can be assumed that normal operation of the pneumatic compactor will result in
the ground being subjected to pressures near the maximum during at least one machine pass.

The table in this section gives production estimates for the following assumed conditions:
Table values give representative production rates for common construction widths. If the actual width
falls between two assumed widths, use the higher number to estimate production. Minor adjustments can
normally be made in the rolling method to reach this higher production: reduce overlap or overhang,
increase speed, or increase the cycle time.

Table values give representative production rates for common construction widths. If the actual width
falls between two assumed widths, use the higher number to estimate production. Minor adjustments can
normally be made in the rolling method to reach this higher production: reduce overlap or overhang, increase
speed, or increase the cycle time.

Example
Actual Conditions — An 7.3 m (23'11") (full road
width) base aggregate job is being completed with a
compacted thickness of 200 mm (8 in). A PS150C is
being used, operating at 6.5 km/h (4 mph), and mak-
ing 6 passes achieve the desired compaction. The
roller is overlapping its passes 152 mm (6 in).
First, the table does not show production for 7.3 m
(23'11") so use the greatest width on the table: 5.5 m
(18'1"). The table gives a PS150C productivity of
778.4 Tonnes/hr (858.0 tons/hr) for this paving width.
We can expect that the actual productivity for 7.3 m
(23'11") will be slightly higher than that. Since the
speed, thickness, and passes are different from the
assumed conditions, we should adjust this estimate:
Assumed Actual
Speed 8 km/h 5 mph 6.5 km/h 4 mph
Thickness 152 mm 6 in 200 mm 8 in
Passes 4 6
