Roadtec Enhances SX-7 Soil Stabilizer
June 3, 2010
The redesigned SX-7 provides power, speed and improved visibility.
Roadtec's powerful 700 hp soil stabilizer/reclaimer has undergone a transformation with many refinements
over the past year. Compared to the first 2007 prototype, the current SX-7
looks very different.
The changes in the
body of the machine are mostly related to maximizing visibility. Visibility is
tricky with any large construction machine, but Roadtec has creatively
redesigned the front and rear body of the machine so that visibility is
dramatically improved.
The cab is optional
and can slide right or left, past the frame of the machine
With the SX-7 water
and emulsion are handled by one system. Any single nozzle, or set of nozzles in
the spray bar can be turned off individually to precisely control how much
liquid material is put down.
The new Roadnet
Central Control and Diagnostic System has an easily navigable screen to give
the operator feedback on virtually every function of the machine. Additionally,
trouble shooting screens for all systems can be accessed with the touch of a
button.
With its variable
volume cutter, the drum can be moved up or down in the housing on the fly. To
create more mixing space, the drum down is moved down. If sizing of the
material is critical, the drum can be moved up closer to the housing for the
desired result.
The SX-7 is big, but
nimble with its true Zero Turn radius. The machine can be entirely turned
around in one spot. This is a unique Roadtec feature.
Service accessibility
was important in the design of the machine. A person can stand up in the cutter
housing to change out tools. Engine components and hydraulics are fully
accessible.
Roadtec VP of sales
John Irvine comments, “We are proud to be offering our customers this machine,
which we feel is more productive than any other comparable stabilizer out
there. This gives our customers the added benefit of reducing fuel consumption,
even with a machine this big, because they will have to run it for much shorter
periods to get the job done.”
True maximum cut
depth of the SX-7 is 21" (53cm). and standard cutting width 8'-5"
(257cm).
