Concrete paving advances: paving mold and bar inserter


The new GOMACO 5400 series paving mold – introduced at the recent World of Concrete – was designed with a structural integrity that is unmatched in the industry, the company says. It features a new “box” design, 54-inch (1372mm) finishing length and a 0.5-inch (13mm) paving skin. The new paving system has a series of accessories including centre and sidebar insertion systems. It features a spreader plow, independent of the mold, or an optional auger to spread the concrete across the paving width. A newly designed strike-off is now mounted to the paver’s main frame, independent of the mold. The strike-off has a wedge-lock system for easy width changes and hydraulic height and crown adjustment. The new mold also features hydraulic Vertically Hinged Sideplates (VHS), self-contained to the inside of the mold, allowing minimum track clearance.


GOMACO’s IDBI attachment is now available on all new GOMACO pavers. The IDBI attachment is an independent unit providing dowel bar insertion behind a paver to form the transverse joint. No power or hydraulics is needed from the paver’s engine. A CAN cable connects the IDBI’s controls to the controller on the paver and allows the two systems to communicate. The new design features a new IDBI tray that is stronger, more compact and makes width changes easier. New adjustable-height bar extractors allow contractors to quickly and easily change the setup for different bar sizes for insertion requirements. Its new GOMACO G+ control system features the same graphical display as the G22 controller, with easy to learn and easy to understand controls. The IDBI information is presented in full colour, commands are presented in full text, and it is able to operate in multiple languages, by customer’s choice. The IDBI attachment has outriggers to aid in attaching the unit to the paver and also for loading and unloading the unit for transporting. The outriggers can be hydraulically lowered and placed on the ground to support the full weight of the IDBI as it is attached to or detached from the paver.
