Description |
MT required for transportation -
This entry as been amended to AL62. |
Engines |
Lister, Type CE 16, 2 cylinder, water cooled, Diesel: Capacity - 139.6 cu in: Power - 16 BHP at 1,200 rpm or Petter, Type B2, 2 cylinder, water cooled, Diesel: Capacity - 127.6 cu in: Power - 17 BHP at 1,200 rpm |
Operation |
The output of mixed material per operation is 10 cu. ft. The number of operations per hour varies considerably, according to weather conditions and temperature, but under normal conditions from 10 to 15 mixes per hour should be obtained, thus giving an output per 8 hour day of from 30 to 45 cu. yd. of mixed material. Great care must be taken to level up the machine both ways before commencing work; failure to do this may result in a strained frame and undue wear of the bearings. etc. For hot mixes, this unit is used in conjunction with the portable horizontal boiler (BPB Bitumen/Tar Sprayer 320 gal) shown below. For cold mixes, the bitumen is pumped direct from the drum, |
