IR Blaw-Knox Paving Equipment

As specifications become more stringent, you need machines that will meet and exceed the need. The IR/Blaw-Knox line of industry-leading paver/finishers, screeds, mobile conveyers and road wideners are a complete solution. These machines are the workhorses of the HMA industry.

IR/Blaw-Knox paver/finishers are all extremely maneuverable, high capacity, wheel and track mounted machines capable of placing bituminous base, binder and surface course mixes, cement or lime stabilized sub-base and graded aggregate materials.

All IR/Blaw-Knox paver models feature a unique offset tandem bogie front suspension that proportions the machine weight for optimum weight distribution and flotation. Hydrostatic direct traction drives eliminate 70% of drive train componentry. Fewer moving parts means fewer mechanical failures. Auger and conveyer bearings do not require daily greasing, so you can spend more time building roads and less time on maintenance. A SmokeEater® ventilation control system provides a cleaner, cooler and more environmentally friendly work area for both operators and screedmen -- without restricting auger view.

IR/Blaw-Knox Wedge-Lock®, OmniScreeds® and UltiMat® screeds are the only screeds available with variable amplitude to enhance material flow and compaction on difficult mixes such as Superpave and SMA.

The Blaw-Kontrol® II is the most accurate and reliable screed control available, sensing and correcting for deviations as small as .005" in grade elevation and .005% in transverse slope. Alternatively, the UltraEye® V sonic grade sensor provides "no contact" grade referencing down to an amazing .020".

Whether you need high tonnage production on large road widening and shoulder paving jobs or you're looking for great value on general purpose and utility applications -- IR/Blaw-Knox road wideners, pavers and screeds are the pro's choice.

An IR-Blaw-Knox paver, an operator and a screedman get the job done.
