Cold Planer

Product Overview

A Cold Planer, also known as a road milling machine, is construction equipment designed to remove damaged or uneven layers of asphalt and concrete from road surfaces without heating the material. It uses a rotating milling drum fitted with durable cutting teeth to grind pavement to a specified depth, preparing the surface for resurfacing, repairs, or reconstruction.

Cold planers are available as self-propelled road milling machines and hydraulic attachments mounted on skid steer loaders or compact track loaders. The appropriate configuration depends on the project size, required cutting width, milling depth, and pavement condition.

Technical Features

1. High-strength milling drum: Rotates cutting teeth against asphalt or concrete to remove unwanted pavement layers.
2. Adjustable cutting depth: Allows operators to control material removal according to resurfacing requirements.
3. Replaceable cutting teeth: Simplifies maintenance and replacement of worn cutting components.
4. Hydraulic side-shift: Available on many attachment models for milling close to curbs and road edges.
5. Water-spray system: Helps control dust and cool cutting teeth during operation.
6. Grade and slope control: Available on selected machines to maintain the required milling profile and surface level.
7. Material discharge system: Larger road milling machines commonly use conveyors to transfer milled material into trucks.
