POPULAR QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What are the most common reasons an asphalt paver stops distributing material evenly?

    Uneven asphalt distribution is often caused by worn-out auger flights, damaged conveyor belts, or improper screed adjustment. Material flow can also be disrupted by blockages in the hopper or inconsistent gate control settings. Proper calibration and regular component inspections can prevent these issues.

  • What should I check if my asphalt paver screed is leaving rough or uneven surfaces?

    An uneven surface can result from screed plate wear, poor leveling system calibration, or improper crown adjustment. Hydraulic screed lifts may also need recalibration. If these components are worn or out of alignment, the screed won't distribute asphalt smoothly across the surface.

  • What could cause the asphalt paver's burners to stop heating properly?

    Burner issues often stem from fuel delivery problems, ignition malfunctions, or soot buildup in the burner assembly. Clogged fuel lines, a faulty spark plug, or insufficient fuel pressure can reduce heat efficiency, causing cold asphalt application and poor pavement quality.

  • How do you diagnose hydraulic problems in an asphalt paver?

    Hydraulic issues can be traced by checking for pressure loss, leaks around fittings, or contamination in the fluid. A clogged hydraulic filter or a failing pump can reduce performance. We perform pressure tests and inspect the entire hydraulic circuit to identify the root cause.

  • When should I consider a full component rebuild instead of a repair?

    A full component rebuild is recommended when essential parts like the screed, auger, or conveyor system show extreme wear or repeated failures despite multiple repairs. If critical components are close to their end-of-life cycle, a rebuild restores performance and extends the machine’s lifespan more cost-effectively.
