ABSTRACT:
A paving system (10) is described which comprises an aggregate hopper (12), a mineral filler hopper (14), water tank (16), an emulsion tank (18) and an additive tank (20). Aggregate, mineral filler, water, emulsion and additive are conveyed from their respective storage devices into a mixer (24) where they are mixed into paving material. A processor (34) is used in conjunction with a load cell (28), an auger tachometer (50) and flow meters (58), (62) and (66) to continuously monitor the relative amounts of aggregate mineral filler, water, emulsion and additives in the paving material mixture manufactured by system (10). A ground speed sensor (74) senses the speed of a vehicle (76) so that the processor (34) may also figure an application rate of paving material. Manual controls (46) may be used by an operator to alter the amounts of aggregate, mineral filler, water, emulsion or additive in the paving material mixture.
