overview

Micro surfacing is a pavement maintenance technique that involves applying a mixture of polymer-modified asphalt emulsion, aggregate, water, and mineral fillers to the existing pavement surface. The equipment used for this process, known as a micro surfacing machine, plays a crucial role in ensuring the proper application and uniformity of the mixture. The machine ensures the components are mixed in the correct proportions, creating a homogeneous slurry. The spreader box distributes the mixture evenly, ensuring a consistent layer that can fill minor surface irregularities and extend the life of the pavement. Speeds up the maintenance process compared to traditional methods.- Minimizes traffic disruptions by allowing roads to be opened to traffic shortly after application. Micro surfacing machines are critical for the effective and efficient application of this pavement maintenance technique, ensuring roadways remain in good condition with minimal disruption to traffic and at a lower cost compared to more intensive repair methods. Here is an overview of the key components and functions of a micro surfacing machine :
