MODEL BM624 SPECIFICATIONS

General:
These specifications are to identify a practical self-propelled chip spreader for seal coating roads and highways. This machine is sturdy enough not to twist the frame when loaded on one side only.

 
FRAME:
Unit welded 3"x6"x3/16" structural tubing for lower members welded 3/8" rear and front axle holder with front pyramid and nine cross bracing in each conveyor's side, welded into one sturdy unit.

POWER TRAIN:

Engine, transmission, rear axle power take-offs are in line to prevent horsepower loss. The engine is mounted under the operating platform to reduce sound and heat, readily accessible for maintenance. Air compressor self maintained. All components are standard industrial production items.

Engine:
Standard: Cummins, John Deere, and Caterpillar engines 150 HP - 225 HP.

TRANSMISSION:
Power shift type 6-speed forward and 3 speed reverse.

REAR AXLE:
Rear Wheel Drive - Differential, 35,000 lbs. capacity. Planetary wheel ends 19:1 ratio, Air spring brakes 16 1/2 x 7, 12 bolt wheel.

Non Drive - 35,000 lbs. capacity, Tag 16 1/2 x 7 Air spring brakes, 10 bolt wheel.

FRONT AXLE:
Drive - 26,000lbs. capacity. Planetary wheel ends 19:1 ratio, 17 x 4 Air over hydraulic brakes, 12 bolt wheel.

Non Drive - 16,000 lbs. capacity, 10 bolt wheel, 15" x 4" Air brakes.

STEERING:
Orbital type, full hydraulic powered, Independent of engine speed.

WHEELS & TIRES:
Disc-type wheels.

Standard tires are

385/65R X 22.5 16 ply Hiqhway tread

Optional tires are

11:00 x 20.5-16 ply. compactor type.

TRUCK HITCH:
Positive locking, hydraulic release truck hitch enables hooking and releasing of all aggregate trucks without stopping.

CONVEYOR SYSTEM:
Two 24" conveyor belts independently controlled by built-in variable speed controls (Standard). Full length side lining, self cleaning tail pulleys with 7 troughing idlers and 3 return rollers per conveyor.

POWER SYSTEM TO CONVEYORS:
The Hydrostatic drive system consists of 3 variable displacements axial piston pumps connected in a open circuit to a fixed displacement, low-speed, hi-torque motor. The hi-torque motors are driven by motorized flow control vlalves that are infinitely variable between zero and maximum speed.

HYDROSTATIC COMPONENTS AND SAFETY:

1.

Variable displacement axial piston pumps.

2.

Fixed displacement low speed, hi torque motors.

3.

Each system has its own shut-off valves and return filter with a common reservoir.

4.

Oversized oil cooler - Electric fan cooled

5.

Vandalism-proof fill spout.

6.

All components and fittings are standard S.A.E. mounting and configuration.

7.

Service convenience-The shut-off valves isolate the reservoir for easy filter changes or pump service.

 
AGGREGATE RECEIVING HOPPER:
Six and one-half cubic yard receiving hopper with adjustable feed control gates and rubber skirting to prevent spillage. It is 114" wide, 75" horizontal depth and 40" vertical depth, with 24" x 36" openings over conveyor belts.

AGGREGATE SPREAD HOPPER:
STANDARD FIXED WIDTHS: 10'6" to 18'. Cut-off gates are adjustable by presetting to spread from a minimum of 6" to a maximum of the width of the spread hopper. Cut-off gates are front-closing radial type, controlled from the operator's control deck and open in 1/16" increments of 0" to 3 ½". All spread hoppers gates are made 3/16 A.R. plate for long life. Spread roll is 6 ½" in diameter: hydrostatically driven and controlled by the operator.

EXPANDABLE FRONT HOPPER OPTION IN TWO SIZES: 10' to 16' or 12' to 20'. The expandable hopper is a single large capacity box with hydraulic expanding ends that retract down for transportation and extend for maximum desired spread width. Individual gates are supplied to provide flexibility of desired selected width. Operator has the ability to control each individual gate on demand, with manual override capability from the computer if needed. Spread width range of 9 inches to 20 feet, and spread rate ranges from 4 lb. to 90+ lbs. at any speed of up to 1,200 feet per minute.

FRONT HOPPER REJECT SCREENS:
A full width rod screed (grizzly) with 1 ½" openings that retain all oversize and foreign objects. Rear hopper grates.
