Explain Asphalt paving machine
In the laying of asphalt pavement roadways, it is common practice to utilize Floating screed type paving machines. These machines typically include a tractor-like vehicle having an engine for propulsion and for material distributing functions. A material receiving hopper is provided at the front of the paver, arranged to receive hot asphalt materials from a truck, as the paving machine advances along the roadbed. =Means, such as slat conveyors, are provided to convey the asphalt material rear ward from the hopper and to deposit the material on the roadway, in front of the floating screed.
