Automated Joint Sawing and Sealing

摘要

Concrete paving projects typically employ a "paving train," with a placer/ spreader heading the way, then the slip-form paver, followed by the texture/cure machine. But John Mueller, president and CEO of Saw Seal Inc., says that his company's new Saw Seal Machine (SSM) has the potential to become a standard addition at the end of the train. The SSM automates the process of sawing, cleaning, and sealing joints-making cuts with as many as seven longitudinal and four transverse saws, vacuuming and capturing dust from the cuts, and applying hot sealant in just the right amount.
