HORIZONTAL GRINDING / TEXTURE GRINDING

Horizontal grinding for texturing is an innovative technology for increasing the sustainability of traffic areas. The new approach to this is to produce customised surfaces in new or existing constructions through targeted processing of micro and macrotextures. There are various possible applications.

THE SOLUTION
WITH THE RIGHT CUT.

APPLICATION

Pioneering innovation for greater sustainability

Production of micro and macro textures to produce skid resistant and low-noise traffic areas

Significant brightening primarily with suitable asphalt top layers to improve the absorption and reflection properties

Improved driving comfort

Improvement in various thermal effects associated with the structure

Ability to compensate for the acoustic ageing of different road surfaces

Reduced noise emissions to improve quality of life for residents and road users

Improved rolling resistance enables fuel savings

Reduces microplastics produced by the use of traffic areas
