On April 2020, Simex sold a
road planer PL 45.20 in China to Shunying Traffic Engineering Co., through our local dealer ATE (Shanghai). The planer has been combined with an
asphalt float ST 200, already part of the fleet. This company deals with highway pavement maintenance and construction, mostly in Anhui Province.
Simex PL 45.20 granted a good performance, running smoothly, achieving a neat groove contour after milling.
The independent adjustment function of the left and right sides combined with the
self-leveling system proved to be a plus for the user in terms of usability and easiness. Since the highway often has longitudinal crack damage, after asphalt milling process, subsequent paving operations are required. Without a proper attachment manual paving would require six workers, which is not only inefficient, but also provides uneven surfaces. Since the
Simex ST asphalt float is used, the efficiency of paving is significantly improved, and the
flatness after laying meets the requirements of the client. In addition, the labor cost is also greatly reduced.
