A road recycler crusher & paver is a specialized machine used in road construction and rehabilitation. It combines the functions of crushing, pulverizing, mixing, and paving to reconstruct deteriorated roads efficiently. Here’s a breakdown of its features and applications:

Key Components & Functions:
1. Crusher/Pulverizer – Breaks down old asphalt or concrete into smaller pieces.
2. Mixing System – Blends the crushed material with stabilizing agents (e.g., cement, lime, bitumen) or new asphalt.
3. Paver System – Lays down the recycled mix evenly for compaction.
4. Optional Additives Injection – Some models allow for real-time binding agents (emulsions, foamed asphalt) to improve strength.
Advantages:
– Cost-Effective: Reuses existing materials, reducing waste and new material costs.
– Time-Saving: Performs multiple steps (crushing, mixing, paving) in one pass.
– Eco-Friendly: Minimizes landfill use and lowers carbon footprint.
– Improved Road Quality: Reinforces the base layer for better durability.

Common Applications:
– Full-depth reclamation (FDR) of old roads.
– Stabilizing weak subgrades.
– Cold in-place recycling (CIR) for asphalt surfaces.
Leading Manufacturers:
– Wirtgen (Cold Recyclers & Soil Stabilizers)
– Caterpillar (Road Reclaimers)
– Bomag (Recyclers/Stabilizers)
– Sakai (Pulverizers/Recyclers)
