"We have 4-inch lines. We
changed the design of the
lines going to the machine,
so we're able now to load
about 2 tons of cement every
minute, so we basically dou-
ble the speed."
Operators also get a new
electronic system with a 12-
inch color display that allows
for customizing and saving
operating parameters as well
as split-screen function when
using the camera system.
e SW 218 TC also now
features full integration with
the Wirtgen Performance
Tracker.
Ruhlmann says the accura-
cy of the SW 218 TC sets it
apart.
"To my knowledge, there's
no other machines that will
control material as accurate-
ly," he says. "If you need to
be down to spreading 1%
of cement for cold in-place
recycling – which is basically
below 10 pounds per square
yard – no other machines
will have that accuracy to
control the material."
Ease of operation – includ-
ing the self-cleaning tank and
cellular wheels – is another
defining factor, according to
Ruhlmann.
"You don't have to have an
operator who understands
the relationship between
density, weight and speed,"
he says. "Everything happens
because the machine is con-
trolling itself.
