The surfacing section is where the top and bottom surfacing materials are applied to the freshly applied asphalt coating. The priority is accurate placement and proper distribution, ensuring the right amount of material is deposited before embedding. Granules that do not adhere are collected and recirculated, supporting continuous operation and minimizing material loss.
Reichel & Drews surfacing sections are designed to maintain consistent coverage while supporting stable material flow, even at higher production speeds. The system helps ensure uniform appearance from edge to edge by reducing variation in granule application. Integrated handling and recovery systems keep material moving efficiently, while coordinated controls give operators better visibility into process performance. The result is a more stable surfacing process with fewer adjustments and improved overall efficiency.
