Paving performance is increased using global technology in the Volvo PF6110 tracked paver (Circle 910). The auger system on the PF6110 is independent of the conveyor system. Each of the two auger and conveyor drives uses sonic sensors for more precise handling of material. The conveyor system has chains that are automatically tensioned for proper performance and less downtime. The conveyor chain cover cleans itself, providing easier maintenance. Reversible augers and conveyors are available as optional equipment.
Hopper capacity for the series is 14.4 tons, giving the paver a practical production rate of 820 tons per hour.
A 205-hp Cummins Tier III engine powers the PF6110 paver. The PF6110 has a paving speed of 246 ft per minute and a travel speed of 10 mph. The paver includes a 30-kilowatt (37.5-kVa) generator with four 110-volt outlets.
The operator station features a new layout and a digital display. The display provides onboard diagnostic capabilities in four languages. The PF6110 has dual control stations. Both control consoles rotate and can pivot at two points for comfort, and each seat may be extended beyond the edge of the machine for improved sightlines.
A technically advanced, hydrostatic direct-traction drive system on the paver eliminates 70% of all mechanical drivetrain components to reduce maintenance costs.
