Cold milling machine

avement milling (cold planing, asphalt milling, or profiling) is the process of removing at least part of the surface of a paved area such as a road, bridge, or parking lot. Milling removes anywhere from just enough thickness to level and smooth the surface to a full depth removal. There are a number of different reasons for milling a paved area instead of simply repaving over the existing surface.

Efficient and sustainable: Surface course milling and selective complete removal

Cold milling is one of the first measures taken when a roadway or traffic area needs to be rehabilitated. The fast and efficient removal of asphalt and concrete surfaces through cold milling produces an even base which is true to line and level and ideal for paving surface courses in a uniform thickness. The condition of the milled surface has a key impact on the quality of the new surface course to be paved, on its service qualities, and on the efficient and economical execution of the rest of the construction work.

Cold milling also has a lasting effect on the construction process when complete pavement structures are removed. Equipped with state-of-the-art milling and leveling technology, Wirtgen milling machines can remove either the complete pavement or the individual surface, binder or base course. When pavements are milled in layers, the milled material can be separated and selectively recovered according to mix type. This lays the ground for targeted reuse of the RAP.
