Optimize and Use Tech to Lower Paver Costs

摘要

One way large asphalt paver manufacturers have been pushing through the pandemic is by adding technologies to help managers produce better mats-and using those technologies is just one of the operating cost-savings strategies available to equipment managers. Keys to lowering paver operating costs include training, using fuel-saving operating modes, paver cleaning, and preventive maintenance. "Optimizing machine performance enables contractors to work more efficiently and keep ownership costs lower," says Caterpillar's Jon Anderson, asphalt paver sales support consultant. "Training operators and service personnel on machine capabilities, proper paving techniques, and important service requirements are keys to efficient operation, wear reduction, and lower fuel consumption."
