Cat® SDX Screed Plate System Installation Overview
Innovative Material Flow
- Angular surface provides a kneading action as it passes through the grooves
- Tapering flat surface at the back of the plates provides a smooth finished surface
- Confined mixing action manipulates aggregates to reduce air voids and increase density while creating a more uniform surface texture
- Optimized aggregate structure promotes surface temperature uniformity for more consistent compaction
- Enhanced structural integrity minimizes roller shoving for better smoothness
- Increased stiffness strengthens unconfined edges, promotes better joint matching
Increased Density and Smoothness
- Kinetic mixing action helps increase the bond interface between the asphalt binder and aggregate
- Mixing action of the angular plates is designed promote better thermal uniformity for improved compaction characteristics
- Increased density can enable compaction to take place on a hotter surface shortening the compaction train
- Increased stiffness can lead to better longitudinal edge profiles and higher joint densities due to less lateral movement of the mix when being compacted
- Higher densities produced by the screed plates can lead to increased bonus opportunities
Faster Screed Plate Changes
- Hardware-free screed plate installation saves time and effort
- Tapered blocks integrated into the screed plates fit over the beveled edge of the adapter plates and are held in place with high-temperature silicone retainers that maintain tension for reliable performance
- One-time adapter plate install attaches to the screed frame utilizing the existing screed plate orientation
- Heating elements attach to the adapter plates
- Modular screed plates come in 300 mm (12”) sections that weigh approximately 16 kg (35 lbs.). The plates are interchangeable across the screed width to help maximize wear.
- The center screed section consists of 100 mm (4”) plates that weigh approximately 5 kg (12 lbs.). These narrow plates allow for crown at the center of the screed.
