GOMACO LARGE COMBINATION SLIPFORM PAVER AND PLACER/ SPREADER

The GP460 combination concrete slipform paver and placer/spreader paves wider than GOMACO's GP360. As a placer/ spreader with a 60-inch (1,524 mm) belt, the GP460 can work at widths up to 50 feet (15.2 m). As a concrete slipform paver, it can pave up to 40 feet (12.2 m) wide.

The GP460 is built on the framework of the GOMACO two-track GP4 slipform paver with the ability to convert the prime mover into a concrete placer/spreader. The prime mover is equipped with vibrator circuits for paving and auger drive circuits for placing.

GOMACO’s G+ digital control system performs the control conversion for each application while also providing on-board Machine to Machine (M2M) communication, sonic sensors, 3D machine guidance, and more.

The GOMACO GP460 is powered by a Caterpillar C7.1 turbocharged diesel engine to efficiently drive the conveyor belt and distribute concrete across the grade. The high-volume, 60-inch (1,524 mm) conveyor belt can be mounted on either the left or right side. It has a discharge speed of up to 492.5 feet per minute (150 mpm).

A controllable material deflector directs the flow of concrete at the discharge end of the conveyor. A dual-drive auger system moves the material to the centre or outer areas and across the strike-off.

The GP460 is available with an optional sonic sensor system to monitor concrete depth as it is placed. Information from the sonic sensors is utilized by the G+ control system on the paver using M2M communication to optimize the head of concrete in front of the paver.
