One day my family and I were looking out of the door then we saw the most gigantic machine in the whole universe. We were so excited that we kept looking until it went out of our sight but then we went to the window to see it still. We did not know what it was. We were so excited that we decided to go see it the next morning. We know where it parked. We did not know what kind of machine it was so we did a Google search and found out. We learned it was an asphalt cutter. I know this machine is strong but I know that the Sword of the Spirit that is our Bible can cut through anything in this whole universe. Thank you Jesus for my mind so I can learn new things every day and thank you that Your Word is the strongest thing ever.
Asphalt milling machines have been around for over 30 years. Asphalt milling is the process of grinding up asphalt that can then be recycled. The process came about because many streets were getting higher and higher on curbs, and therefore drainage of the roadway was becoming an increasingly bad problem. The first production milling machines where called Galions after their manufacturer, Galion Iron Works. These machines resembled graders in shape and size. The difference was there was a 2 ft wide milling head were the scraper blade would normally be. The cutter drum was set into action by a rather large hydraulic pump. Today's machines are much larger in scale. They also have elaborate conveyor systems to reduce the labor of picking up the material from the roadway. These new machines have helped pave the way to the future. With many new types of Asphalt Aggregates in use today the Ashpalt Cold Milling machine is the way of the future. These new production machines are designed to tackle any Mix design they chew into. Depending on the depth of the cut, these machines can cut close to 15,000 Square Yards a day, at 75 feet per minute.
