All WIRTGEN machines feature a built-in, high-quality machine control system. The fact that the majority of its software is developed in-house plays a key role in this regard – WIRTGEN has placed a special focus on ongoing development, thus significantly increasing the operational reliability of its machines. Many years of experience in software and hardware development also makes it possible to achieve more flexible and sophisticated machine functionality in terms of the range of applications and individual customer requirements.

Large milling machines are designed with a milling drum positioned under the center of the machine as well as a two-part loading system extending out towards the front – why they are also referred to as front loaders. These machines can load trucks quickly and flexibly via the high-performance swivel-mounted and height-adjustable discharge belt. Front loaders are usually equipped with a full-length, user-friendly operator’s platform. Alternatively, they are equipped with an operator’s cabin that can be moved and rotated hydraulically. Numerous intelligent automatic functions support the operator in their daily work. Furthermore, front loaders are equipped with four steerable and height-adjustable crawler units.

WIRTGEN’s leveling technology adjusts height, depth, and pitch for extremely accurate results. In the process, the system permanently compares the actual values to predefined target values and adjusts the deviations proportionally. This state-of-the-art machine technology consistently guarantees outstanding leveling results and significantly reduces the machine operator’s workload.

WIRTGEN offers customers reliable hardware and software developed in-house. In this context, a variety of systems are used depending on the construction project and local conditions at the job site.

High quality results are the goal of every construction project. This applies to road rehabilitation using cold milling machines and cold recyclers as well as to soil stabilization and the extraction of minerals with surface miners. In order to remove pavement with precision and efficiency, it is essential that the drum, pick holder, and pick work together perfectly.

WIRTGEN is the market leader in cutting technology and offers customers high-performance cutting systems whose components are designed to be fully compatible. In addition, WIRTGEN continuously makes advancements to these cutting technology components, incorporating its practical experience and feedback from customers into the process.

The innovative MILL ASSIST machine control system always adjusts the most favorable relationship between performance and cost when operating in automatic mode. The process is optimized by automatically adjusting the speed of the diesel engine and milling drum, the traction drive, the water system and the machine’s advance rate. This relieves the machine operator of a tremendous part of his workload while at the same time improving machine performance and minimizing diesel consumption, CO2 emissions, pick consumption and noise emissions.
