XCMG Road Cold Recycler: A Revolutionary Force in Green Road Construction

In the field of road construction and maintenance, "green, efficient, and circular" have become core trends in the industry. Traditional road construction processes, such as the demolition of old pavement and the transportation of waste materials, not only generate large amounts of construction waste but also pose challenges such as high energy consumption, significant pollution, and long construction periods. As a leader in green innovation in Chinese construction machinery, XCMG Group has developed the XCMG Road Cold Recycler, leveraging its core advantages of "in-situ recycling, resource recycling, low carbon efficiency, and superior performance." This has revolutionized traditional construction methods, becoming a "green tool" for highway maintenance, road reconstruction, and rural road upgrades, injecting new momentum into sustainable development in global road construction.

Core Technology Breakthroughs Reshape the Standard for Road Recycling Construction

The superior performance of the XCMG Road cold recycler stems from its continuous dedication to core technologies. From the crushing and recycling system to intelligent control, every feature is designed for efficient recycling and high-quality production, ensuring that old pavement materials are "recycled" while maintaining the strength and durability of the new pavement.

1. Powerful Crushing and Recycling System Achieves "Full Utilization of Waste Materials"

The crushing efficiency of old pavement materials directly determines the quality of recycled materials. XCMG's cold road recyclers are equipped with high-torque crushing rotors. For example, the XZ320E model features a 1200mm diameter rotor with a "wolf-tooth" cutter head design. Made of a wear-resistant alloy (hardness exceeding HRC60), they can achieve a single crushing depth of 300-500mm, easily crushing various types of old pavement structures, including asphalt pavements and cement-stabilized bases. Furthermore, the rotor speed can be intelligently adjusted (0-180 rpm). Combined with "layered crushing" technology, it avoids the generation of large waste particles and ensures a uniform gradation of the recycled mixture, meeting the requirements of base construction. Data shows that XCMG's cold road recyclers achieve a utilization rate of over 95% for old pavement materials, reducing the transport of over 800 tons of construction waste per kilometer of road construction and saving 40% in stone procurement costs.

2. Precision Mixing System Ensures Recycled Layer Strength

The mix accuracy of the recycled mixture is crucial to the bearing capacity of the new pavement. XCMG's road cold recyclers innovatively utilize a dual-screw conveyor combined with a precise metering and spraying system. For example, the XZ260E model features an intelligent mix control system that uses sensors to monitor the recycled material flow in real time and simultaneously precisely sprays binders such as cement and emulsified asphalt, keeping the mix error within ±1%. For example, in a national highway reconstruction project, a XCMG XZ320E cold recycler was used to crush the old asphalt pavement and then mix it with 3.5% cement. The resulting reclaimed base layer achieved a 7-day unconfined compressive strength of 3.2 MPa, far exceeding the regulatory standard of 2.5 MPa. The resulting pavement's bearing capacity is comparable to that of newly constructed roads.

3. Intelligent Control and Stable Driving Adapt to Complex Working Conditions

XCMG's road cold recycler is equipped with a fully hydraulic drive system and four-wheel steering (such as the XZ200E). Its minimum turning radius is only 6.8m, allowing it to flexibly operate in narrow areas, such as rural roads and urban street corners. Furthermore, the equipment is equipped with the "XCMG Intelligent Construction Terminal," which supports touchscreen operation and remote monitoring. Construction workers can view parameters such as crushing depth, mixing uniformity, and binder dosage in real time. Data can also be uploaded to a management platform via the Internet of Things, ensuring traceability of the construction process and early warning of quality issues. Furthermore, the equipment's "heavy-duty frame + large-diameter tire" design provides a low ground contact pressure (≤0.6MPa), preventing subsidence even in soft soil subgrades and ensuring construction stability.

Full-Scenario Application, Empowering Road Construction and Maintenance Upgrades

Thanks to its environmentally friendly, energy-efficient, and highly adaptable features, the XCMG road cold recycler has been widely used in a variety of fields, including highway maintenance, road upgrading, rural road construction, and municipal renovation, solving road construction challenges in diverse scenarios.

1. Highway/National Road Maintenance: Achieving "Pavement Renewal" at Low Cost

For highway and national road maintenance, the traditional "milling-transport-resurfacing" model is time-consuming, costly, and disruptive to traffic. XCMG's large-scale road cold recyclers (such as the XZ320E and XZ360E) enable "in-situ regeneration" of the original road surface, eliminating the need to demolish and transport the old road surface. For example, a provincial highway maintenance project, eight years after opening, had developed cracks, rutting, and other road surface defects. Two XCMG XZ320E cold recyclers were deployed simultaneously, crushing the old asphalt pavement and regenerating it with cement. This enabled the regeneration of 5 km of bidirectional lanes per day, shortening construction time by 50% compared to traditional methods and reducing maintenance costs by 350,000 yuan per kilometer. Furthermore, half of the lane remained open during construction, reducing traffic congestion.

2. Rural Road Construction: Using Local Materials to Reduce Costs and Increase Efficiency

High stone transportation costs and limited construction conditions are major challenges in rural road construction. XCMG's small and medium-sized road cold recyclers (such as the XZ200E and XZ180E) can recycle local old road materials and discarded gravel on-site, significantly reducing the need for purchased stone. In a rural road upgrade project, the construction team used the XCMG XZ200E cold recycler to crush the original 3m-wide gravel road, then mixed a small amount of cement to recycle it into a 5m-wide cement-stabilized base course. This was then paved with a thin layer of asphalt. This reduced construction costs per kilometer by over 200,000 yuan, and the construction period was only 7 days, saving 15 days compared to the traditional "excavation and reconstruction" method, quickly resolving villagers' travel difficulties.

3. Municipal Road Reconstruction: Low noise and pollution, meeting urban needs

Urban municipal road reconstruction requires high environmental protection standards and limited construction time (mostly nighttime work). XCMG's road cold recycler features a low-noise design (operating noise ≤82dB) and "zero-dust crushing technology" (using atomized water spray to suppress dust), meeting urban environmental standards. In a major urban arterial road reconstruction project, the XCMG XZ260E cold recycler operated from 10 pm to 5 am, crushing old cement pavement and regenerating it into an asphalt base layer. During the construction period, there were no complaints from surrounding residents, and the recycling process eliminated the need for construction waste to be transported outside the city, thus reducing urban road congestion. The project was completed 10 days ahead of schedule, quickly restoring traffic on the main arterial road.

4. Industrial Park/Factory Roads: "Recycling and Enhancement" of Heavy-Duty Pavements

Industrial park and factory roads are subject to heavy truck traffic, placing high demands on pavement strength. XCMG's road cold recycler can improve the strength of the recycled layer by increasing binder dosage and optimizing gradation. During road reconstruction in an industrial park, the existing concrete pavement cracked due to heavy truck traffic. A XCMG XZ320E cold recycler was used to crush the old pavement and then regenerate it by adding 5% cement and 1% new additives. The regenerated base layer achieved an unconfined compressive strength of 4.0 MPa after 28 days. After the subsequent asphalt surface layer was laid, it can withstand the long-term traffic of 50-ton heavy trucks and has an estimated service life of over 10 years.
