A cold planer where the milling drum, picks, and tool holders are the dominant cost — they wear constantly and cost a fortune to renew.
The Wirtgen W100 is a common cold milling machine. The milling drum, its picks, and the tool holders are consumed by the work and are the single biggest cost, so the inspection centers on the drum and the conveyor system that moves the millings.
Picks and holders wear constantly and the drum is very expensive.
CHECK Inspect the drum, pick wear, and tool-holder condition across the drum.
Primary and discharge conveyors wear and tear.
CHECK Run the conveyors and inspect belts, drive, and structure.
The crawler undercarriage wears.
CHECK Inspect tracks, pads, and drive.
The water system controls heat and dust.
CHECK Test the water spray and dust-control systems.
Milling depth control and engine condition matter.
CHECK Test the depth/grade control and check the engine.
