Parabolic Paver

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Parabolic Paver?

A parabolic paver is a specialized paving machine designed to create parabolic cross-sections in roads, primarily used for cambered or crowned roads to improve drainage and reduce water accumulation on the road surface.

How does a parabolic paver work?

Parabolic pavers are equipped with a specially shaped screed that creates a curved or parabolic profile as the paving material is laid down. The screed height and angle are adjusted to form the desired parabolic shape, ensuring proper water runoff from the road surface.

What are the benefits of using a parabolic paver?

  • Improved Drainage: The parabolic shape ensures water flows off the road quickly, reducing waterlogging and enhancing road safety.
  • Increased Longevity: Proper drainage prevents water damage, extending the life of the road.
  • Enhanced Driving Comfort: Provides a smoother driving experience by reducing water accumulation on the road surface.

What are the key components of a parabolic paver?

  • Parabolic Screed: Shapes the asphalt into a parabolic profile.
  • Sensors: Monitor and control the screed’s height and angle to maintain the desired shape.
  • Control Panel: Allows the operator to set and adjust the parabolic profile parameters.
  • Engine and Drive System: Powers the machine and enables smooth movement along the road.

What are the maintenance requirements for a parabolic paver?

Regular maintenance includes checking the screed for wear and tear, ensuring sensors and control systems are calibrated, inspecting the drive system, and maintaining the engine and hydraulic systems. Proper maintenance helps ensure the machine’s accuracy and longevity.
