Ammann India provides contractors with one of
the most comprehensive paving portfolios in the industry.
India is building roads at an unprecedented
scale. From greenfield expressways and economic corridors to airport runways,
industrial parks, and smart cities, today’s infrastructure projects demand
faster execution, superior ride quality, and longer pavement life.
While asphalt mix quality is critical, the
performance of the paver ultimately determines the smoothness, density, and
durability of the finished pavement. Modern asphalt pavers have, therefore,
evolved into intelligent paving systems, combining precision material handling,
advanced screed technology, digital controls, and operator-centric design to
consistently deliver world-class pavement quality.
Ammann India offers one of the industry’s most
comprehensive paving portfolios through its Apollo and ABG
product ranges. The Apollo range is engineered to meet the rugged demands of
Indian road construction, while the globally acclaimed ABG range — built on
decades of European paving expertise — delivers advanced technology for
high-productivity highway, expressway, and airport applications. Together, they
provide solutions for every paving requirement, from urban roads to the
country’s largest infrastructure projects.
A complete portfolio for every
road construction application
No two
projects have the same paving requirements. Urban roads demand compact and
highly manoeuvrable machines, while expressways and airport runways require
extremely high productivity and wide paving widths.
The
Ammann portfolio addresses every application through the Apollo and ABG ranges,
offering solutions for:
-
Municipal roads;
-
State highways;
-
National Highways;
-
Greenfield expressways;
-
Airport runways;
-
Industrial infrastructure;
-
Smart cities; and
-
Large commercial developments.
At the
top of the portfolio is the ABG 8820,
Ammann’s flagship tracked paver capable of paving up to 13 metres in a single pass. Combined with a 14.7-tonne hopper capacity and a
theoretical paving output of 1,100
tonnes per hour, it is engineered for the most demanding large-scale
infrastructure projects.
Screed Technology: The heart
of high-quality paving
The
screed is the defining element of every asphalt paver. Its design determines
pavement smoothness, pre-compaction, mat uniformity, and, ultimately, the
lifecycle of the road. Ammann’s Apollo and ABG screeds incorporate advanced
engineering to deliver:
-
Excellent surface smoothness.
-
Uniform layer thickness.
-
Consistent mat density.
-
High pre-compaction.
-
Stable operation across
varying paving widths.
The ABG
range offers both single tamper
and double tamper vibratory screeds,
providing exceptional pre-compaction behind the screed. This significantly
reduces the effort required from rollers, improves density consistency, and
enhances overall pavement quality. The double tamper screed is particularly
suited for demanding applications, such as airport runways, Roller Compacted
Concrete (RCC), Cement Treated Base (CTB), and thick asphalt layers.
ABG’s Screeds provide hydraulic width
adjustment and can be configured to pave widths of up to 13 metres, enabling contractors to
complete wider carriageways with fewer longitudinal joints, resulting in
improved ride quality and enhanced pavement durability.
Intelligent controls that improve
productivity
Modern
paving is increasingly data-driven. ABG pavers feature the Electronic Paver Management (EPM3)
system, an intuitive control platform that centralizes machine functions and
enables operators to optimize paving performance with minimal effort.
Key
capabilities include:
-
One-touch machine control.
-
Project-specific settings
storage.
-
Automated machine diagnostics.
-
Service Interval Manager.
-
Real-time operating
information.
-
Simplified operator interface.
Optional
digital technologies, such as Pave Pilot,
which includes Thermal Profiling,
Material Manager, Weather View, and Smart Dock further enhance paving
quality by documenting the paving process, improving truck docking efficiency,
and helping operators maintain consistent asphalt temperatures throughout the
project.
Engineering designed for productivity
Every
component of an Ammann paver is designed to maximize productivity while
minimizing operating costs. Key engineering features include:
-
Independent hydrostatic
conveyor and auger drives.
-
Proportional ultrasonic auger
control.
-
Automatic track tensioning
for superior directional stability.
-
Heavy-duty crawler tracks for
excellent traction.
-
Adaptive Eco Mode for lower
fuel consumption.
-
Powerful hydraulic systems
optimized for continuous paving.
The ABG
8820 also features a robust 200 kW engine and advanced hydraulic architecture
to ensure consistent paving performance even under high-production conditions.
Pavement quality starts with consistent
material flow
Superior
roads begin with uniform asphalt delivery.
Modern
pavers are designed to maintain a constant head of material in front of the
screed, preventing segregation and ensuring uniform density throughout the
pavement layer. Ammann pavers achieve this through:
-
High-capacity material
hoppers.
-
Independent hydrostatic
conveyor drives.
-
Proportional auger control.
-
Automatic material feed
management.
-
Optimized auger geometry for
continuous material distribution.
The
result is a consistent asphalt mat with excellent texture, uniform density and
improved riding comfort.
Operator comfort enhances performance
Road
construction often involves long shifts under challenging conditions. Ammann
places significant emphasis on operator ergonomics through:
-
Spacious operator platform.
-
Excellent visibility of
hopper, augers, and screed.
-
Intuitive control layout.
-
Extendable operator seats.
-
Low operating noise.
-
Efficient lighting for night
paving.
Better
visibility and simplified controls allow operators to maintain paving accuracy
while reducing fatigue during extended working hours.
Built for maximum uptime
For
contractors, equipment availability directly impacts project profitability. Ammann
pavers are engineered to reduce maintenance requirements through:
-
Easy access to service points.
-
Centralized maintenance
locations.
-
Robust conveyor and auger
systems.
-
Durable screed components.
-
Intelligent maintenance
reminders.
-
Genuine spare parts backed by
Ammann India’s nationwide service network.
Digital
service tools and preventive maintenance capabilities further improve fleet
availability while lowering lifecycle costs.
