W 2000 - Versatility is the key
Fitted with a 2 m wide milling drum and powerful engine, the large milling machine W 2000 has the potential for milling large surfaces with economic efficiency. The W 2000 scores high marks on motorways or airports mainly due to its excellent area performance. The machine's high milling performance and compact overall dimensions ensure the fast completion of jobs when working in urban rehabilitation projects.
Removal at full depth
The machine's maximum milling depth of 320 mm allows the entire pavement package, consisting of surface course, binder course and base course layers, to be removed in one single pass, which saves time and ensures high productivity.
Levelling surfaces
Wheel ruts, pronounced bumps or other kinds of deformation are potential risks to traffic safety. They can be eliminated very quickly by large cold milling machines equipped with specific fine milling drums. This method simply mills off the elevated sections of the road pavement, leaving behind an even and skid-resistant surface that can be trafficked again immediately.
Fine milling
Fine milling drums are fitted with a much larger number of cutting tools than standard milling drums, which results in a much narrower tool spacing. Fine milling produces a very fine surface texture and is carried out at maximum milling depths of just a few millimetres or centimetres.
Typical fine milling applications include:
- Restoring the skid resistance
- Eliminating pavement irregularities
- Preparing surfaces for the application of new, thin pavement layers
- Specific alterations in the cross slope of a road pavement
- Removing coatings
- Removing contaminated pavement layers
Replacing the surface course
The large-scale replacement of surface courses at milling depths of up to 4 cm is a typical application in the rehabilitation of airports or motorways. The W 2000 achieves maximum productivity here due to its large milling width and high advance speeds.
