A road surface layer reproducing machine is characterized by its rotor unit which is provided with a mixing chamber housing the rotors for scarifying and mixing the asphalt pavement in an atmosphere of a high temperature higher than the temperature of open air to facilitate such a scarifying and mixing operation of the asphalt pavement, which mixing chamber is kept at such a high temperature by the operation of heating means such as a heater and a hot air blower, and is vertically driven through power cylinders.

The paved road surface reproducing apparatus consists of first and second self-propelled, steerable working trucks. The first truck is equipped with: a road surface heater; a pair of gas cylinder tables mounted on both sides of the truck which can be raised or lowered by lifts; a hopper for receiving a bituminous mixture from outside; and a conveyor for transporting the mixture form the hopper to the rear part of the truck. The second truck is equipped with: a hopper for receiving the bituminous mixture transferred from the first truck; a conveyor for transporting the mixture received from the hopper to the rear part of the truck; a powdery oil-absorber scattering device to minimize rutting; a small size road surface heater; a scarifier; a softening agent scattering device; and a rotor; and also equipped with a first screw spreader; a first screed; a second screw spreader; and a second screed in tandem at the rear part of the truck. The first screw spreader and the first screed are mounted on the truck to have its lower end faces to be submergible under the surface of the road.

Disclosed is an automotive rolling machine having a main frame section and a lengthy roller equipped to at least one side of the main frame section. The roller is tapered at the outer peripheries of its end portions, whereby, at the time of changing the advancing direction of the roller, the paved surface is not damaged by the outer peripheral angular portions of the roller. The main frame section has a frame at the front and rear end portions of which slider guides are laterally equipped in such a manner that sliders are slidably fitted into the slider guides. At the central portions of the sides of the frame, center pins are vertically supported. And to the underside of the center pins are fixed the central portions of lower frame members supporting the rollers as viewed in the longitudinal direction. The front and rear end portions of the lower frame members are connected to the sliders so that the lower frame members may be movable with respect to the sliders. Thus, the machine has high steerability. In addition, the frame of the main frame section is constructed in the form of a water tank, whereby the machine load is uniformly distributed to enhance the rolling effect.
