Slipform paver YG-KB20

Overview
A roadside curb slipform machine enables continuous single-pass formation of concrete curbs at typical paving speeds of 5–10 m/min, significantly accelerating projects compared with manual moulding. Single-pass operation removes drying wait times and reduces on-site labor requirements, improving schedule reliability on linear works such as highways, urban medians and airport edges.

Key advantages

• Single-pass slipform operation (no manual moulds required)
• High paving speed: 5–10 m/min typical (model-dependent)
• Substantial labor savings: up to ~70% workforce reduction in typical projects
• Laser-guided precision (±2 mm) for long-distance alignment
• Compatible with dry-mix/low-slump concrete to form a continuous monolithic curb
• Integrated vibration systems: high-frequency vibrator plus attached vibration motor

• Typical weight: ~6000 kg (YG-KB20); YG-KB30 weight varies by configuration

Core technical advantages

• Laser-guided system with ±2 mm accuracy to minimize cumulative alignment errors over long runs
• Dry-mix concrete compatibility for immediate shape retention and durable monolithic curb structures
• Automatic steering combined with sensor-assisted leveling for accurate line following on curves and slopes

Applications

• Highways: shoulder curbing and long-distance curb installation
• Urban traffic: medians, city kerb works and streetscape projects
• Aviation: runway edge drains and pavement edge curbs
• Commercial sites: parking lot perimeters and site development curbs

FAQ

• Does the machine need a specific concrete mix? Yes — it performs best with dry-mix (low-slump) concrete to ensure immediate shape retention after forming.
• How is line accuracy maintained? The machine uses laser guidance, steering controls and leveling sensors to maintain straight lines and to negotiate curves and slopes.

Success case (excerpt)
An example highway project using the slipform machine reduced crew size from approximately 30 workers to about 5, enabling earlier completion and material and labor cost savings.
