| Service, Maintenance and Repair
Easier service, m | Easier service, maintenance and repair is accomplished by monitoring key functions and logging critical indicators. Advanced electronic diagnostic capabilities are possible using CAT® Electronic Technician. |
|
| Cat® C7 Engine with ACERT® Technology | ACERT® Technology incorporates a series of
innovations working at the point of combustion to optimize engine performance while meeting U. S. EPA Tier 3 and E. U. Stage IIIa engine emission regulations. |
|
| Cat® C7 Engine with ACERT® Technology | The C7 engine provides a full-rated gross power (SAE J1995) of 167 kW (224 hp) at 2200 rpm with a torque of 872 N-m (643 ft/lb). The combination of large displacement and high torque allow the AP-1055D to perform under the toughest conditions. |

|
| Durable Mobil-trac™ Belt | The Mobil-trac system includes adurable, high strength rubber track belt with a thick outer cover and five internal layers of flexible steel cable. |
|
| Large Ground Contact Area | The Mobil-trac’s ground contact area is 3020 mm (119") long and 457 mm (18") wide. This large footprint provides even weight distribution over the entire length of the belt. |
|
| Two Speed Planetary Drive | A fixed displacement motor drives a two-speed planetary providing quick mobility around the job site. |
|
| Friction Drive | A hydraulic tensioning cylinder with an accumulator maintains friction between the Mobil-trac belt and the drive wheel in order to provide drive traction. Manual adjustment of track tension is not required. |
|
| Rubber Coated Steel Mid-Wheels | The fully bogied undercarriage provides low maintenance and long life. |
|

|
| Mix Delivery | The AP-1055D provides precise mix delivery with minimal operator monitoring through the most advanced material handling system. |
|
| Feeders Controlled Independently | Left and right feeders in addition to the left and right augers are controlled independently. The ability to control these four components separately, through a machine controller, eliminates the need for feeder gates. |
|
| Mix Delivery Control | In order to control mix delivery, the operator sets a speed rate for each feeder that will maintain the desired mix level in the left and right auger champbers. Once the feeder speeds are set, the ratio of feeder speed to the maximum auger speed is automatically maintained by the machine controller, even through the propel rate may change as the job progresses. |
|
| Ratio Control | This ratio control capability is particularly helpful when paving wider on one side of the machine than on the other. Each feeder can be set at a specified speed to deliver the proper amount of mix that is needed. |
|
| Outboard Feeder Drives | Increased live tunnel area provides easy servicing. |
|
| Gateless Feeders | Variable speed feeders precisely control mix delivery while reducing wear and segregation. |
|
| Gateless Feeders Run Full of Mix | The gateless feeders on the AP-1055D always run full of mix regardless of the speed required to fill the auger chamber. This is typically a slower speed than would be experienced with a paver utilizing feeder gates to control mix delivery rates. By not always having to run at full speed, feeder component wear is significantly reduced. |
|
| Changes in Feeder Speed | When changes in feeder speed are required, delivery of mix to the augers is immediate. This is in contrast to pavers with gates, where any delivery rate change is delayed for the length of time it takes to clear the tunnel of mix from the previous gate setting. |
|
| Running at Slower Speeds | Running at slower speeds can also help reduce the opportunity for segregation, especially when working with larger stone mixes that have more of a tendency to segregate. |
|
| Feeder Design | Tunnel construction improves mix flow. |
|
| Auger Assembly | Provides mat consistency while minimizing segregation. |
