False-Wall End Gate Design

False-wall design reduces mix contact with the sliding portion of the gate, providing easy gate adjustments.

Bolt-on End Gate Design

Bolt-on design allows easy end gate installation and removal.

Replaceable Wear Strip

Replaceable wear strip enhances end gate service life.

Full-Length End Gate

Full-length end gate contains material, providing an optimal longitudinal joint.
Spring-Loaded End Gates
Spring-loaded end gates create a downward force that causes the gates to follow the profile of the surface being paved, assuring a good joint with the adjacent mat.

Visual Graduated Scales

Visual graduated scales indicate the distance that the extenders move in or out.

Hydraulically Driven Vibrators

Hydraulically driven vibrators located on the extenders are synchronized with the main screed to match frequency and amplitude.

Vertical Height Adjustment

Vertical height adjustment allows the extenders to match the main screed height.
Triangular Extender Configuration
Triangular configuration of the extender supports provide torsional resistance and rigidity.

Multi-Zone Heating Element

Multi-zone heating element configuration provides even heat distribution.

Screed Control Panel

Screed control panel includes three temperature settings that are able to accommodate normal hot mix asphalt and extended temperature based mixes.

Regulated Screed Plate Temperature

Controller automatically regulates the screed plate temperature to the selected setting.

Minimal Operator Training

On-board diagnostics and screed control panel require minimal operator training.
Electric Screed Plate Heating System
Highly efficient electric heating system provides warm-up time in 30 minutes or less.The AS3301C offers an electric screed plate heating system. The electric screed plate heating system is highly efficient and provides fast warm-up. The electric heating system features an integrated generator and multi-zone heating elements for even heat distribution.
