C7 Engine with ACERT®Technology ACERT® Technology works at the point of combustion to optimize engine performance. ACERT® Technology incorporates an electronic controller to precisely deliver multiple injections of fuel. These multiple injections are combined with a refined air management system in order to generate fewer emissions and optimize fuel combustion while meeting U. S. The C7 engine is a turbocharged, 6-cylinder diesel engine that provides 167 kW (224 hp) of gross power (SAE J1995) at 2200 rpm with a maximum torque of 872 N-m (643 ft/lb). [. . . ] Rubber Coated Steel Mid-Wheels The fully bogied undercarriage provides low maintenance and long life. Two-Speed Planetary Friction Drive Wheel Fully Bogied Undercarriage Rubber-Coated Steel Mid-Wheel Belt Tensioning System Mobil-tracTM Belt 6 Steel Track Undercarriage The steel track undercarriage provides even weight distribution, good tractive effort and dependable performance. Quad Rear Bogey A special quad bogey is positioned near the rear of the steel track in order to evenly distribute the load. The steel track system includes hydraulic cylinders to provide automatic tensioning. Track Rails The steel track system incorporates D3 dozer track rails. The sealed and lubricated links include a split master link for dependable performance. Bonded Track Pads The track pads contain a special rubber compound in order to provide long life and good traction. The pads are attached with two bolts for easy replacement. Single Speed Planetary Drive A variable displacement motor drives a single-speed planetary in order to provide infinitely variable speed selection. D3 Track Rails Track Tensioning System Bonded Track Pads Single Speed Planetary Quad Rear Bogey Hydrostatic Drive System Efficient hydrostatic drive system eliminates chains and other mechanical linkages between the engine and final drive components. Closed-Loop Hydrostatic Propel System The propel system incorporates pave, travel and maneuver modes for maximum versatility. Propulsion Control The machine controller provides accurate control of steering and propulsion systems and ensures straight-line tracking. Speed Control A speed control dial located on each operator station allows the operator to set a maximum travel speed. When the propel lever is positioned in the full-forward position the paver will travel at the pre-set speed. Each station includes a meters per minute (feet per minute) gauge. Propel Motors Machine Controller Propel Pumps Planetary Drive Hydraulic Oil Tank Electrical Junction Box 7 Exclusive Material Delivery System Productivity and quality enhancements are built-in features. The AP-1055D provides precise mix delivery with minimal operator monitoring through the most advanced material handling system. Left and right feeders in addition to the left and right augers are controlled independently. Keeping the feeders close together allows the flow from both feeders to blend together more easily as they discharge into the auger cavity. The tunnel and auger designs eliminate voids under the chain case to minimize segregation. Auger Assembly Provides mat consistency while minimizing segregation. The auger assembly height can be hydraulically adjusted 192 mm (7. 6"). The ability to raise the auger assembly simplifies loading and unloading from a transport vehicle. Also, when working Auger Drive Motors with larger stone mixes, segregation can often be eliminated or minimized by raising the augers to allow mix to flow unrestricted under the auger assembly. Left Feeder and Auger Drive Pumps 9 Optional Generator System The high capacity, integrated generator ensures peak performance and high reliability. Industrial, Single-Phase Generator The 24 kW generator is hydraulically driven through a load-sensing, pressure-compensating pump providing quiet operation. Single Control Switch A single switch on the tractor's operating console activates the generator. The generator operates at 1800 rpm and includes GFCI protection. Full Power Full power is provided to the electric screed and auxiliary power panel while the engine is operating at low idle speed. A control manifold and internal voltage regulator maintains constant frequency and voltage at both high and low idle. Optional Auxiliary Power Panel The auxiliary power panel provides efficient power for night-time lighting and other job site power needs. Optional Auxiliary Power Panel The power panel provides 8 kW of power and includes four 120-volt receptacles protected by ground fault circuit interruption (GFCI) and two 240-volt receptacles. [. . . ] Circuit breakers located on the front side of the center console include manual resets. 13 Feeders and Augers Dual feeders and augers are controlled through variable speed hydrostatic drives and operate independently of forward speed. Right and left side feeders operate independently of each other. Feeder drive and drive chains are located outside the mainframe for easy accessibility. Feeder flights are constructed of heavy-duty bushed roller chain with forged steel flight bars sliding over replaceable, abrasion-resistant drag pans with 360-440 Brinell hardness. [. . . ]
