The invention relates to a road paver or a feeder having a chassis driven by a drive unit, and a material hopper arranged in the working direction at the front of the road paver or the feeder, the material hopper having a hopper side wall extending in the working direction and a discharge flap tiltable about a pivot axis extending transversely to the working direction, the discharge flap comprising a flap base and a flap side wall which extends next to the hopper side wall and is fixed to the flap base and supported to be moveable relative to the hopper side wall, a protective cover, which at least partially engages around the edge of the flap side wall, being arranged on the hopper side wall.

A low-emission hot-in-place asphalt recycling equipment train system is disclosed, which comprises at least three heating units, a milling unit, a centralized hot mix heating unit, a mixing unit, and compatible paving and compacting units. The hot-in-place asphalt recycling equipment train system realizes stepwise uniform heating of pavements, recycling of heat energy, centralized treatment and discharge of fumes, centralized and uniform hot mix heating of materials without causing damage, simultaneous metering and feeding of required materials at multiple points, and on-site mobile batch mixing.

A locomotive (10) for spreading a waterproof coil in a hot melt manner. The locomotive (10) for spreading a waterproof coil in a hot melt manner comprises: a locomotive frame (11), provided with a coil support (12); and wheel devices, a spreading device, a combustion and heating device and a coil compaction device that are disposed on the locomotive frame (11). The combustion and heating device comprises a combustion chamber (6) and a mixing chamber (2). The mixing chamber (2) is provided with a fuel gas inlet end (5), an air inlet end (28), and an outlet end (29). The outlet end (29) is connected to the combustion chamber (6). Multiple gas discharge holes (7) are formed in one side surface of the combustion chamber (6) in an axial direction. The locomotive (10) for spreading a waterproof coil in a hot melt manner improves the construction efficiency, reduces human power costs and reduces consumption of fuel gas.

The disclosure relates to a paving screed for a road paver that comprises a screed plate, a heating element and a fastening device for pressing the heating element onto the screed plate. The fastening device comprises an actuating member and an elastic element. The actuating member is configured to deflect through its operation the elastic element directly or indirectly by a predetermined amount, wherein the elastic element applies a predetermined force directly or indirectly onto the heating element and biases the heating element against the screed plate.

Asphalt paving system and method involves the use of a primer, comprising hydrophobic microwave absorbing material mixed in a hydrophobic liquid, between an asphalt layer and a base layer below. The primer is configured to be deposited on the base layer at room temperature without preheating. Heating the hydrophobic microwave absorbing material, sandwiched between the asphalt and base layers, by microwave energy, allows for both effective de-icing of the asphalt pavement and for efficient repairs of the pavement, the latter by striping of the asphalt layer from the base layer.

A screed assembly for a paving machine is disclosed. The screed assembly includes a screed plate having a front edge, a first plate positioned in front of the front edge of the screed plate. The first plate defining having a first thickness. A temperature sensor is coupled to the first plate. The temperature sensor is configured to determine a temperature of a paving material, whereby the temperature of the paving material is measured before the paving material comes into contact with the screed plate.
