Curb- Tec Curb- Tec makes two small extru- sion curbing machines, the CT-3000 and the CT-900. Both have extra-large material hoppers to make life easier for the operator. The CT-3000 is self-propelled by just the touch of a button, in forward and reverse, using a rear-wheel power system. The mate- rial feeder system and hydraulic elevation jacks are electronically controlled. The "re- verse on the fl y" auger is a key feature. The CT-3000 can fi ll a trench and form a curb at the same time. The 25-horsepower machine paves up to 18 inches high and 18 inches wide in standard offset position. With optional belt conveyor, it paves up to 20 inches high and 2 feet wide. Functions are controlled from the operator's panel on the steering handle. Miller Curber Miller Curb- er, which also makes extrusion curb- ers, says its most popular machine is the MC650. Miller Curb- er's machines are designed for constructing small to mid-sized continuous curb from either concrete or asphalt. Nearly 2,000 curb shapes with custom choices are available. The machine produces quality, dense curb at a rate of up to 15 feet per minute, according to the company. A larger machine, the MC900, can produce curb at a rate of up to 30 feet per minute. Popular options include a lifting lug, cast compaction tube, removable hopper plate, vibrator, hydraulic brake and swivel rear wheel. Also available are the MC655, which is the same as MC650 but with modifi ed frame allowing extrusion under existing guardrail. The MC750 has two continuously turning auger assemblies, allow- ing immediate changeover from right- to left-hand extrusion.
