CHALLENGES IN COMPACTION


Every day, construction companies face certain challenges in compaction that need to be mastered. Cost and time pressure, as well as quality requirements, are at the forefront. Machine controls from MOBA help to master these challenges by increasing performance and ensuring quality.


OVER-/UNDERCOMPACTION

Non-measured or monitored compaction can result in over- or undercompacted roads, which can dramatically shorten the lifetime of the road or destroy the material.

ASPHALT TEMPERATURE

Compacting at the wrong asphalt temperature causes heterogeneous material composition, which also leads to a shorter lifetime of the road.

TIME-/COST PRESSURE

Time and cost pressure are present on every construction site. Non-measured compacting leads to more , higher wear costs and therefore more time consumption and overall costs.






ENSURE QUALITY ROADS


Non-measured asphalt paving can result with inferior quality roads.
With the MCA system, you can identify critical points
instantaniously during compaction and take countersteps at an early stage!


THE MCA-3000

INTELLIGENT SYSTEM FOR BIG TASKS


Through the optimal interaction between acceleration sensor, temperature sensor and GNSS antenna the MCA-3000 achieves compaction results at the highest level. With our high-end operand, the entire process is also visualized, thereby helping you to keep control of current asphalt temperature, the compaction target value and the number of passes at all times. Thanks to an unproblematic display of measurements, the proper interpretation of the measured values are learnt intuitively and quickly. As a proof of quality all compaction data is also summarized and retrievable from a web server on demand at any time.


COMPACTION SYSTEM
PROVIDES FLEET MANAGEMENT
MANUFACTURER INDEPENDENT


Fleet Management

Thanks to its innovative fleet management the crossings of different rolls are synchronized with each other, so that each passage is optimally compacted. This automatic coordination ensures all-time highest quality and allows the use of multiple rollerss and operators at the same time! Thus, large projects are implemented in the shortest possible time and extremely cost-effectively.

  • Synchronized data of the fleet
  • All compactors are synchronized with each other
  • This provides optimum compacted passages
  • Projects are completed in the shortest possible time
  • Makes projects extremely cost-effective
  • Reports of the data from the whole fleet



FEATURES - Get the most out of your machine with the MOBA COMPACTION ASSISTANT


With our high-end operand, the entire process is visualized, thereby helping you to keep control of the number of crossings at all times.

Thanks to an unproblematic display of measurements, the proper interpretation of the measured values are learnt intuitively and quickly. The MCA measures values like the stiffness, the frequency of the drum, the amplitude & the temperature of the asphalt.


The 4-button design allows an incredibly intuitive and efficient operation of the MOBA-Matic II. The backlit keys also make night work possible. The unique housing design is also functional according to the motto "form follows function" and therefore allows a very good grip.

As a proof of quality all compaction data is also summarized and retrievable from a web server on demand at any time. Even when you have worked on a fleet project, this is summarized in a report with data of the whole fleet.

Intelligent Compaction


Perfection in Compaction

Reduce the passes quantity, avoiding loss of compaction by destroying (overcompaction) the new layer. MCA also reduces premature wear of mechanical parts and equipment structure of the roller.


SYSTEM FEATURES

  • Measuring, displaying and storing the stiffness values
  • Temperature acquisition and display of the temperature profile
  • Data storage of construction site, type of machine, driver and project data
  • Quality assurance by recording all data
  • Arbitrary screen displays
  • Data transfer via GSM on a web server


SYSTEM BENEFITS

  • High-quality compaction results
  • Uncomplicatedly and time-effectively installation and operation
  • More flexibility through compatibility with all rollers
  • Less wear and operating costs through working time and fuel savings
  • Documented quality by recorded data
  • Digital data availability without site visit

PASSES
IN VIBRATION MODE


METHOD

The operator was instructed to compact according the jobsite definitions to reach the maximum compaction. In this test track 16 passes were executed. After 16 passes, the laboratory did compaction test in the jobsite.

RESULTS

Even after the 16 passes the soil didn't reach the compaction degree of 100%. This fact can be explained by some hypotesis:

  • Because of weather conditions the material could have lost the humidity before the compaction process started.
  • 16 passes could be too much, so the compaction could have reached the maximum compaction and could have been destroyed after that.
  • Variations in the material composition could mean different properties than the sample analysed in laboratory, so the optimal humidity could be different.

METHOD

The operator was instructed to compact untiel the map progress exhibited in MCA-3000 display was green. Many test tracks were executed with MCA-3000 orientation, considering some material.

RESULTS

After only 8 passes the soil reached its maximum compaction capacity, saving 8 passes in vibratory mode.

*Based on a test by MOBA do Brasil on a test distance of 100m. Both test runs were performed under the same conditions.



KEEP AN EYE ON THE PASSES

DEFINE TARGET VALUES FOR THE PASSES


Define target values for passes to roll over the road. The color symbolizes the compaction values. The system recognizes if the values are not changing anymore, then the pass is shown in green color. No further compaction can be achieved there. A perfect compaction result is therefore achieved.





ICV - THE INTELLIGENT COMPACTION VALUE

The ICV is the relative performance indicator for road density. It measures the status of the compaction progress. The absolute value of the ICV changes with the consistency of the material and the underground. The ICV verifies the constant compaction of the material during operation.

Modularity guarantees
- highest flexibility


With the MCA-500 or MCA-3000 system, you are always optimally equipped for all the requirements of a construction site. MOBA paving quality systems guarantee a precise and efficient result for your individual project through the perfect interaction of all components.






MOBA CLOUD

TRANSFER YOUR PROJECT DATA INTO THE MOBA CLOUD


The MCA3000 stores all measurement data temporarily and then sends the data to the MOBA Cloud via GSM telematic support. This data can then be analysed in the back office using the report tool and used for process optimisation.
