Stabilizing soils of poor bearing capacity on a large scale
Soil exchange continues to be specified very often
even though it no longer represents the state of the
art. Working as a soil stabilizer, the WR uses its powerful
milling and mixing rotor to mix pre-spread binders, such as
lime or cement, into existing soil of poor bearing capacity
to a working depth of up to 560 mm, converting it into a
premium construction material right on the spot.

of soil and binding agent
The resulting homogeneous soil-binder mix offers high
levels of tensile strength, compressive strength and shear
strength as well as lasting water resistance, frost resist-
ance and volume stability. Typical applications include
the construction of paths, roads, motorways, parking
lots, sports grounds, industrial parks or facilities, airports,
dams, backfills or landfills.

required to produce a homogeneous mix.
The WR effortlessly pushes a water tanker truck which
delivers water via a hose connection.
The fast-paced, environmentally friendly in-situ
process dispenses with expensive soil exchange.
Soil stabilization is clearly superior to soil exchange as
it requires fewer truck transports, shortens job comple-
tion times, reduces resource consumption and lowers
carbon emissions.

Steadily increasing volumes of truck traffic cause
structural damage to the different layers of asphalt
roads over time, while at the same time reducing their
bearing capacity. In recycling mode, the WR eliminates
these deficiencies quickly, economically and in a resource-
saving manner. It is equipped with a powerful milling
and mixing rotor and state-of-the-art injection systems.
The cold recycler mills and granulates worn-out asphalt
pavements, injects binding agents and water in precisely
metered quantities and mixes them with the pavement ma-
terial to be recycled, all in a single machine pass. The new
base layers produced by means of this in-situ process are
distinctive for their exceptionally high bearing capacity.

 Space and operator comfort two prerequisites for success

Operator comfort is a key efficiency driver, which is
why we have paid special attention to the workplace
of the machine operator. The soundproof, spacious WR
cabin provides ample room to move, a comfortable interior
and pleasant indoor temperatures. Its range of equipment
includes a comfortable drivers seat, a powerful climate
control and heating system, a standard cooler, a radio with
CD player, a compressed air connection and air gun for
easy cabin cleaning, backlit controls and numerous stor-
age options, to name but a few. They facilitate work for the
operator, thus increasing not only operator comfort and
performance but also the machines productivity on a daily
basis.

Perfect visibility whatever the time of day or night

Maximum performance even during night operations

Construction projects are nowadays carried out
under tremendous pressure of time with no regard for
adverse weather, darkness or night. This is where the intel-
ligent lighting system of the WR comes into play. It com-
prises six headlights at the front of the cabin, optionally in
LED design, two spotlights each on the left and right side,
two curve lights at the rear and two spotlights for flexible
mounting by means of magnetic bases to fully illuminate
all important work areas around the machine. Operation of
the machine can thus continue at full power even after the
sun has set and the WR is utilized to full capacity.

WR offers a visibility concept that is unique in the indus-
try: large glass panes at the front, left and right side of the
cabin, and a set of mirrors in line with field requirements
allow a full view of the entire construction site. The spa-
cious cabin, which can be moved beyond the edge of
the machine on the right, and the drivers seat swivelling
through 90 degrees offer a free view of the entire working
edge on the right-hand side so that working flush to kerb
without the need for extensive reworking is no problem

enough and to spare. Extra large, deep-tread tyres very
effectively transport the engines high drive power into the
soil. The powerful all-wheel drive ensures constant maxi-
mum traction of each of the four separately hydrostatically
driven wheels. In addition, uniform traction is ensured by
the sophisticated weight distribution across the machine
frame. The machines advance speed is load-dependent
and governed by an automatic power control system that
dispenses with the need to engage or disengage the dif-
ferential lock. In short: the WR is the ideal candidate for

WR to work parallel to the surface or at the specified cross
slope. The tried-and-tested, four-fold full-floating lifting
column design can be relied on to quickly and dynamically
compensate for any major ground irregularities. As a result,

Steering system
built to field requirements
Field-proven manoeuvrability and superior ease of operation

Electronic steering system with three different steering modes

The WR has everything it takes to ensure easy and
smooth steering because it features an electro-
hydraulic steer-by-wire steering system. The operator
can choose from three different steering modes: straight-
ahead, crab or cornering mode. The currently selected
steering mode is displayed clearly at all times and can be
changed conveniently via the multifunctional joystick. The
highly precise steering system and free choice of steering
mode increase operator comfort, enabling the operator to
work more productively and to fully focus on ensuring that
his work meets highest quality standards.
 Minimum turning radius in cor-
nering mode with oversteering:
Rmin = 3,150 mm

R Rmin

Minimum turning radius in

cornering mode: R = 4,500 mm

Each of the three steering modes straight-ahead,
crab and cornering is the fastest way to achieve the
goal in the specified field of application.
In cornering mode, the WR is capable of performing a
minimum turning radius of only 4,500 mm.
The innovative oversteering feature of the steering
wheel enables the rear wheels to be moved even fur-
ther, allowing the WR to perform an exceptionally small
turning radius of 3,150 mm. This is significantly smaller
than the minimum turning radius of standard passen-
ger cars.

In soil stabilization projects, a significant amount of
time is spent on countless turning and reposition-
ing manoeuvres each day. The WR performs exceptionally
small turning circles, however, which saves time at the
end of each cut and increases productivity. How does the
WR do that? In cornering mode, the front and rear wheels
are steered synchronously via the steering wheel, allowing
small turning circles already. In addition, the operator can
oversteer the rear axle. The effect: the extra large steering
angle of the rear wheels enables even smaller turning cir-
cles, which is especially useful for time-saving turning and
repositioning manoeuvres in restricted space conditions.

why the milling and mixing rotor installed in the WR
also appears as if it were cast from a single mould. Engine
and cutting power of the individual machines are optimally
adjusted to each other. The specific working width/depth
combination enables an efficient machine performance.
The massive rotor design promotes smooth, shock-free
operation, which reduces stress and strain on the drive
elements. Regardless of the working depth, perfectly ar-
ranged toolholders on high bases guarantee homogeneous
mixing of the construction materials. In addition, the hard-
wearing quick-change toolholder system ensures optimum

Efficient milling rotor drive

Taking the shortest path to success

Translating engine power into productivity: the direct
mechanical rotor drive of the WR translates high en-
gine power into an equally high milling and mixing output.
Large wrap-around angles with the belt pulleys enable the
heavy-duty power belt to transmit the engine power to the
rotor gearbox with only minimal performance losses, thus
ensuring high efficiency. Positive side effects of the intel-
ligent drive concept are low fuel consumption and ease of
maintenance. In addition, many different rotor speeds can
be selected as needed to meet the full range of standard
work requirements.

The WR has all it takes to meet these requirements:
parameters are entered quickly and c onveniently via a
small number of controls in the left-hand arm console and
via the control screen. The menus are structured clearly
and logically, enabling the individual pages to be called

Foamed bitumen innovative and economically efficient

To construct base layers of exceptionally high quality,
the WR produces foamed bitumen in up to sixteen
separate expansion chambers by injecting small amounts
of water and compressed air into bitumen that has been
heated to approx. 180 C. The hot bitumen then foams
abruptly, expanding to many times its original volume. In
this state, the foamed bitumen is distributed very evenly in
the mineral aggregate mix to be recycled. All components
carrying hot bitumen are heated and kept at operating
temperature which dispenses with the need to flush the
system. On balance, foamed bitumen is a very cost-effi-
cient binding agent.
