Here are pictures of some curb that was installed with one of our machines. This is a commercial curb with a decorative appeal. The customer used smaller stone (a lot of it), laid the curb and then came back a few hours later and used a pressure washer to expose the stone. If you are interested in this process, please contact Hank.
We are able to do limited trench curbing by use of special built auger housings, compaction tubes, and forms. In this situation the entire auger housing, compaction tube and curb form are lowered into the trench. On the pictures below you will notice how the auger housing has an extension on it so it can be lowered into the trench. There are some limitations, however; consult the factory for your trench curb requirements.
We would like to thank our friends at Asphalt Solutions for the opportunity to build a pretty unique 650. First they wanted it to be all black, next they wanted a custom extension on the hopper, finally they wanted a light kit so night time curbing. Here are some pics of the final product.
Here is a situation where the customer needs to extrude over an 18″ wide trench with a 3″ high pin. This machine was designed to extrude a curb that is 12″ L, 10″ H and has a 6″ flat spot on top of it. In order to do this we had to move the front over 17.25″ from it standard position (Pic #1). We had to add an outrigger arm to provide stability to the machine since the front end was moved over so far. The next pic shows the remaining 6″ of the trench that needs to be exposed per the job requirement.
The MC 900 dual auger machine is designed to extrude either a 18" or 24" curb and gutter. This machine is built with 2 auger housings next to each other. If you would like to do a 24" curb and gutter (CFD-1887), the machine is equipped with a 2-8" auger housings. If you would like to do a 18" curb and gutter (CFD-1886) the machine is equipped with 1-8" auger housing and 1-6" auger housing. Either machine also comes with vibration and 2 outrigger arms to provide stability (machine width is 56.25).
The Tail Wheel Outrigger option allows an operator to stabilize the curb extruder for a variety of job conditions. If a front wheel assembly is offset to accommodate rebar; if a wide curb is being extruded and the tail wheel is moved severely off-center, or if curb is being laid in a trench-the Tail Wheel Outrigger will provide stabilization for the curb extruding machine. Note: Tail Wheel Outrigger needs to run on a compact base as does the standard wheels.
Proper, safe, and level lifting of the Miller Curb Extruding machine is now easy with our new Single-point Lifting Lug. This optional feature enables the use of an overhead crane, forklift with lifting boom, cherry picker, or any other appropriately rated lifting machine to safely and easily lift/transport (with an empty hopper) the curb extruding machine.
