Efficient Hydrostatic Drive

Versatile Variable Hoppers

Self-propelled Chipspreaders are used by both contractors and municipalities. The main function of a chipspreader is to uniformly distribute cover aggregate into the hot liquid asphalt sprayed by an asphalt distributor truck. It is very important that the chipspreader be designed and constructed to apply many different size aggregates at different speeds. With that in mind, lets take a close look at the design features of the Etnyre self-propelled ChipSpreader.

Heres how the ChipSpreader works

Truck backs to spreader and automatically hitches itself, raises dump bed and releases tail gate. Stone flows into the rear hopper where it is picked up by two conveyor belts. The conveyor belts transfer the material to the spread hopper, which is equipped with a series of radial gates that are readily adjustable to the desired spread width. As the spread hopper is loaded, the ChipSpreader is started and pulls the truck behind it.

Application rate computer controls the main gate control opening and the speed of the ChipSpreader. The ChipSpreader operator has a clear view to insure an even longitudinal joint. When truck is empty, it is released by the driver, and another truck attaches itself and dumps its load while the ChipSpreader keeps spreading.

Hydrostatic Drive
Why hydrostatic drive?

1. Hydrostatic drive features infinitely adjustable working speeds. 2. Computer control for accurate and repeatable chip application rate. Chip application is automatically controlled as ground speed increases or decreases. 3. Hydrostatic drive system provides smooth starting and stopping on steep grades with heavy loads. Less likelihood of tire spin on newly chipped road surfaces.

4. Optional Front Wheel or 4-wheel drive available (see page 11 for more details).

There are six major systems in our self-propelled ChipSpreader.

1. Two-section frame assembly 2. Aggregate handling system 3. Power train 4. Hydrostatic drive system 5. Control system 6. Front hopper spread system

Lets take a closer look at each of these areas.

4 Hydrostatic Drive System

Direct hydrostatic FRONT wheel drive provides smooth stopping and starting on steep grades with heavy loads. Infinitely adjustable travel speeds at full engine power and precise controls minimize the likelihood of tire spin on newly chipped surfaces. Mechanical front wheel drive steer axle, full oscillating, 75" wheel track, 20.4:1 gear ratio, 25,000 lb. rated, single speed differential. Driven by direct engine bell housing mounted 125 cc hydrostatic pump and 160 cc hydrostatic motor. Rear axle is 25,000 lb. rated with 95" wheel track. Infinitely variable speed from 0 to 19.5 M.P.H. Large 95 gallon hydraulic oil tank. Working speed is infinitely adjustable. Speed is controlled by a joystick. A separate panel control provides infinite adjustment of maximum chipping speed, allowing the operator to consistently match any job requirement. Faster travel between jobs. The hydrostatic system provides road speed to 19 m.p.h. (30 kph) maximizing relocation efficiency. Single speed, no shifting, for both controlled chipping and faster road travel.

B Conveyor / Belt Speed Controls

Conveyor
Conveyor controls have for operator controlled positions: 1. Off 2. Auto: In this position the conveyor on/off is automatically controlled by sensor switches located above the front hopper. 3. Front: In this center switch position the conveyor on/off is controlled at the front operator station only. 4. On

Belt Speed Controls

This feature allows the operator located on the right catwalk to vary the speed of each conveyor independently to provide a uniform distribution of material to the front hopper. Valves for this operation are incorporated in the integrated circuit block between the conveyors. Each valve has an adjustment knob and a locking ring. This feature is particularly useful in doing shoulder work or in operations requiring less than full hopper width. It is also useful in smoothing out delivery of material to match the rate being spread. When properly adjusted, the conveyors should run approximately 80% of the time with the hopper at maximum width and the ChipSpreader traveling at maximum speed for the particular job.

Three Brake Systems

1) Hydrostatic. The primary braking system is inherent and built into the hydrostatic drive system. 2) Mechanical brakes. Conventional mechanical brakes assist the operator in controlling the starts and stops. 3) Parking Brake. Used to hold the unit in park. Automatically sets whenever the unit is stationary.

14

D Speed/Direction Control Handle

Joystick Forward / Reverse

Speed/Direction Control Handle (joystick) The control handle dictates the direction of travel (forward/ reverse) as well as the rate of travel. The control handle incorporates position microswitches for neutral and reverse. The neutral microswitch provides the safety feature of requiring the control handle to be in the neutral position to start the engine and also applies the brake lights. This switch also insures the gates cannot be inadvertently applied while the control stick is in the neutral position. The reverse microswitch activates the back up alarm when the control handle is moved in the reverse direction. The handle has a detent in the neutral position and an adjustable friction drag for holding at any desired position other than neutral. Moving the handle out of neutral 3 degrees in either direction will release the parking brake and begin to increase the speed in the direction the handle is being moved. Further movement in either direction will increase the speed proportionally until the handle reaches full stroke, at which point the machine will hold the set point speed.

Stopping is always accomplished by returning the handle to neutral.

Decelerating is always accomplished by moving the handle toward neutral. Upon reaching the neutral position of the handle, the parking brake will automatically apply once the machine has come to a complete stop.

E Computer Control
Automatic Application Rate and Speed Control Computer
The Etnyre Application Rate Computer is standard on 2WD and 4WD hydrostatic ChipSpreaders.

The computer varies the gate opening to maintain a preset application rate regardless of the ChipSpreader speed. Application accuracy is maintained when starting and stopping and when ChipSpreader speed is adjusted to meet job requirements. Increased accuracy reduces aggregate expense and results in an improved road surface. The computer can store five different aggregate/ application rate combinations in memory. Application rate can be varied infinitely or memory presets can be selected on the go. The computer can also be set to control the ChipSpreaders forward speed for consistent speed when following the distributor. Instrumentation includes a highly visible display to monitor engine, hydraulic oil temperature, fuel and speed. A systems monitor alerts the operator of abnormal conditions.
Preset speed when standing still and actual speed when the ChipSpreader is moving.

F Front Spread Hopper Controls

Gate/Spreadroll Switch The rocker switch controls both the spread roll and the command circuit for the gates. As described previously, this switch is active only when the control handle is out of the neutral position. With the control stick out of neutral, depressing the right side of the rocker switch will activate the spreadroll and gate circuits. Centering the switch deactivates the circuits. The left side of the switch will also deactivate the circuits. Aggregate Size Switch The aggregate size switch determines the size of the material to be spread. Activating the switch up or down will scroll the display through the available aggregate selections. The size shown on the display should approximately match the size of stone to be used. Application Rate Switch The application rate switch adjusts the application rate set point in lb/yd2. Press the switch up to increase the application rate, and press it down to decrease the rate. The rate is adjustable "on the fly". Gate Override Push-button Push down to momentarily fully open the hopper gate to clear a jam. Upon releasing the button, the gate will return to its original set point.
