The patented ROTA-VIBE®, available on Bid-Well pavers, provides a means of achieving a more uniform concrete surface with desired density. This facilitates the sealing of difficult-to-finish concrete due to harsh mix designs, unpredictable delays, low slump specifications and wind exposure causing abnormal surface drying.
The ROTA-VIBE®, which mounts from the paving carriage, utilizes two free-wheeling finned rollers. The finned rollers can be leveled horizontally and adjusted vertically.
| The ROTA-VIBE® is set to the same finished grade as the paving rollers and operators on the concrete already struck off slightly above grade by the augers. Test cores prove that surface aggregate remains in place and a pavable denser surface is achieved. |
Vibration is provided to prevent concrete from adhering to or building up on the finned rollers. The vibration also helps maintain a more uniform, consolidated concrete surface including thin bonded overlays of desired density.
