automatically returns to its idling speed when milling is finished. This allows us to reduce not only fuel consumption but also noise emissions.” What is more, the water required for cooling the cutting tools is regulated as a function of the engine load and milling speed. The load-dependent sprinkler unit allows a water saving of up to 20%. “For us that means we need to fill up less water, but the service life of the cutting tools is still longer,” says the site Manager Cleiton Farias de Jesus, delighted with the much lower downtimes. Transport made easy With the milling work on the Anchieta motorway having been com- pleted faster than anticipated that day, the W 200 even made up time before it was to begin its scheduled night-time job on the Imigrantes Site Manager Cleiton Farias de Jesus also appreciates the eco-friendly technologies of the W 200. They play a key role in ensuring that his company meets the ISO 14001 Environmental management standard.

motorway. So, without hesitation, Cleiton Farias de Jesus and his team stopped at Cubatao, just a few kilometres away, in order to mill a strip a few hundred metres long over a working width of 2 m, but this time to a depth of 28 cm. “The site is on the way, and the fact that we can load and unload the W 200 quickly and easily enabled us to fit this little job in today.” The folding loading belt, for instance, shortens the transport length of the large milling machine, so that it can be transported even on light low-bed trucks with a low overall weight. The weather canopy can also be folded in hydraulically for onward transport. Site Manager Cleiton Farias de Jesus says: “Ease of transport is a decisive criterion and makes the logistics a whole lot easier. This way, we can move quickly from one job to the next and always make optimum use of the W 200’s capacity.”  The variable tare weight and additional weights that can be added as required allow the W 200 to be carried even on vehicles with a low maximum permitted payload.
