GOMACO is constructing on the success of the GP360, the trade’s first mixture concrete slipform paver and placer/spreader on two tracks. This 12 months at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2023, GOMACO will introduce the GP460 for wider width operations. As a placer/spreader with a 60 inch (1524 mm) belt, the GP460 will accommodate widths as much as 50 ft (15.2 m) broad. As a concrete slipform paver, the GP460 will pave widths as much as 40 ft (12.2 m) broad.

The brand new machine is constructed on the framework of the GOMACO two-track GP4 slipform paver with the flexibility to transform the prime mover right into a concrete placer/spreader. The prime mover is provided with vibrator circuits for paving and auger drive circuits for putting. Controlling the brand new expertise is made potential with the GOMACO-exclusive G+ digital management system. G+ handles the controls conversion wanted for every utility whereas additionally bringing onboard Machine to Machine (M2M) communication, sonic sensors, 3D machine steerage, and extra.

The GOMACO GP460 is powered by a Caterpillar C7.1 turbocharged diesel engine to effectively drive the conveyor belt and distribute concrete throughout the grade. The high-volume, 60-inch (1524 mm) conveyor belt might be mounted on both the left or proper facet, relying on job website circumstances and the situation of the haul highway. It has a discharge pace of as much as 492.5 ft per minute (150 mpm) for quick and environment friendly concrete placement. A controllable materials deflector directs the circulation of concrete on the discharge finish of the conveyor for placement accuracy. A dual-drive auger system strikes the fabric to the centre or outer areas and throughout the strike-off.

The GP460 is out there with an optionally available sonic sensor system to observe the concrete depth as it’s positioned. Info from the sonic sensors is utilized by the G+ management system on the paver utilizing M2M communication to offer an optimum and constant head of concrete in entrance of the paver.

The GP460 placer/spreader slipform paver will make its world debut at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2023. It is going to be a part of GOMACO’s show of 13 items of apparatus showcasing the corporate’s full line of concrete paving and assist tools.
