The Problem

Limited state funding for road maintenance programs have forced public agencies to look at other alternatives such as thin lift asphalt treatments, micro surfacing and slurry seals. Thinner lifts require a smoother surface.

The Solution

Micro-Milling allows agenices to combine the benefits of milling such as restoring ride and providing a better bonding surface to thin lift treatments, typically not possible with a standard milled surface. Micro-Milling reduces the costly fill expense seen in standard milling. The smoother surface dramatically reduces both tack coat and fill required with a standard milled surface.

The Applications

• Improved ride, restore curb line, provide a better bond
• Remove and replace only what is needed
• Less material required, easier to match multiple passes
• Line removal and RAP creation
• Cost effective method for correcting faulted concrete
• Provides a temporary solution for wheel rutted streets
• Provides a temporary improvement in skid resistance
• A smoother surface is a safer surface
• Ease and uniformity of membrane removal
• Generates smaller gradation reducing crushing cost

The Benefits

• Improved ride
• Reduction in material cost
• Reduction in construction cost
• Safer driving surface
• Reduction in RAP processing cost
• Enhances the life cycle of the pavement - better density

Micro-Milling Drums

• Roughly three times the number of tools as a standard drum
• Tighter performance based tests should be used to measure surface texture smoothness
• Best if used in 0-2" milling depths, when surface texture matters the most
• Reduction in material cost
• Reduction in RAP processing cost
• Enhances the life cycle of the pavement
• Reduction in construction cost

Fine Milling Drums

• Roughly twice the number of tools as a standard drum
• Performance based tests should be used to measure surface texture smoothness
• Best if used in 2-3" milling depths, single lift 2-3" mill and fill jobs
• Reduction in material cost
• Reduction in RAP processing cost
• Enhances the life cycle of the pavement
• Reduction in construction cost

Wedge Lock Quick-Change System

• Interchangeable tool holders can achieve spacing of 5mm/7.5mm/15mm to meet any milling, fine milling or micro-milling specification
• The only drum system on the market that is designed to last the life of the machine, no costly rebuilds required
• Custom tailor the drum's spacing to increase or decrease the gradation of the RAP, on a job to job basis
• Change tools faster with easy access to the tool from the back of the holder
• Continuous wrap design provides superior strength
