TCM 950 - Applying textures
and preventing premature drying
Texture curing machines from Wirtgen give concrete pavements or surfaces the desired texture and prevent them from drying out prematurely. The wheeled TCM 950 and the tracked TCM 1800 are capable of applying a large variety of different broom finishes.
Finishing
Low-noise surfaces
Travelling on concrete pavements produces noise of different levels and frequencies, depending on the surface texture. Self-propelled texture curing machines are capable of giving concrete surfaces the desired surface texture by applying a broom that lightly brushes the surface. A dispersion is additionally spread on the concrete surface by the integrated spraying system. It prevents premature drying of the concrete surface and edges.

- TCM 1800
- Curing a dual-layer concrete motorway in Germany
Machines suitable for this application:
- TCM 950
- TCM 1800
Anti-skid coating
Anti-skid coatings are frequently applied on airport runways to give the concrete surface good skid resistance and prevent aquaplaning. Texture curing machines are capable of applying anti-skid coatings uniformly as soon as the paving operation has been completed.
Shown here:
- TCM 1800 in India
- Applying an anti-skid coating on an airport runway, and a broom finish in longitudinal direction at the same time
Machines suitable for this application:
- TCM 950
- TCM 1800
