LeeBoy 6150 - Auger; Hopper and Conveyors; Electrical System

3-4 Leeboy 6150 Conveyor Paver
Component Location
Auger
Right and left augers
rotate to move material
from the conveyors to the
screed. The auger can be
controlled at the operator
platform or by a screed
operator using the remote
screed control box.
The auger can also be controlled automatically using
the sonic auger sensor system. The sensors are
mounted on the screed endgates and used to monitor
and control the pile height of material at the discharge
end of the augers.
Hopper and Conveyors
Hydraulic power raises and lowers the hopper wings.
The hopper wings can also be locked into place in
the closed position for transport. When fully open, the
hopper can hold a payload up to 7 tons.
Material in the hopper is moved toward the back of the
paver to the screed by conveyors. Its wide, automatic
conveyors with a wide hopper design delivers asphalt
more evenly and efciently to produce a smooth asphalt
mat.
Screed
The screed is the last component that contacts the
paving material. Asphalt material is fed from the hopper
conveyor through the augers to the screed, where it is
heated, applied and compacted onto the paving surface.
The LeeBoy 6150 Conveyor Paver is equipped with the
Legend® screed system with propane heat. Electric
heat is an option. The main screed has hydraulically-
controlled extensions on each side that extend and
retract to allow paving widths up to 15 feet. Hydrauli-
cally-driven dual vibrators mounted on the main screed
frame increase paving material compaction. The screed
can be locked in the raised position for travel, service
and overnight parking for additional stability.
The optional 815HD screed features heavy-duty ight
screws, heavy-duty crown and valley mechanism and
3-Adjuster AOA (Angle of Attack) with vertical height
adjustment for even more screed control. This screed
option is equipped with electric heat.
Electrical System
The battery produces 12 volts DC and maintains 925
cold cranking amperes (CCA) at 0°F. An engine-
mounted alternator with a minimum of 60 amperes
charging capacity keeps the battery charged during
normal operation.
If equipped with the electric screed heat option, the
generator provides control of the output power to the
screed heating elements. Each element is sized to t
properly in your screed, and provide sufcient power
to heat your screed plate to a temperature so asphalt
material will not drag or stick to the lower surface of the
screed plate. The electric heat control box is mounted
in the center of the main screed, easily accessible to a
screed operator when a heating cycle is required on the
job.
