New WR 2500 S Boosts Performance Of Proven WR 2500
The new WR 2500 S Road Reclaimer and Soil Stabilizer
from Wirtgen America, Inc. is a next-generation successor
to the proven Model WR 2500. The "S" in the WR 2500
S stands for "Super", because the WR 2500 S is a
beefed-up, higher performing version of the existing WR 2500.
In addition to its high performance as a full-depth base
recycler of failed road pavements and as a soil and base stabilizer,
like its predecessor, the WR 2500 S when equipped for foamed
or expanded asphalt can be used to make a foamed asphalt-stabilized
base, with significant savings and base performance improvements
for the owner and contractor. It also can be equipped with emulsion and/or high volume water.

Among the improvements of the WR 2500 S over the WR 2500:
- A new fuel injection system in the 12-cylinder Mercedes engine
boosts engine power from 455 to 500 kW (610 to 670 continuous hp). The engine
now meets EPA Tier II regulations.
- A redesigned, reinforced cutter drum housing includes multiple
wear plate inserts to minimize wear. The cutter drum has been
redesigned to include bolt-on end rings, which are easier to service.
- Cooling air routing has been reversed, improving cooling performance,
operator comfort, and ambient particulate levels. The engine now
rests in a newly enclosed compartment. And a new dual-cyclonic
air precleaner will result in an extended service life for the
air filtration system.
- Exhaust emissions are redirected toward the rear of the machine
and away from groundsmen.
- The operator's compartment has a larger air conditioning capacity,
with increased visibility despite a reduced glass surface area.
A second seat has been added. And the ergonomic control panel
has been redesigned, including a height-adjustable, multifunction
computer graphics display which helps the operator visualize and
control functions such as steering, drum door position, and emulsion
injection system.
- The area work lighting system has been placed in a bar integrated
with the operator's compartment roof for a cleaner and safer performance.
- Its diesel engine powers a 96-inch-wide by 20-inch-deep cutting
rotor, making it a true, high-horsepower deep-cutting heavyweight.
Its two-frame design allows the WR 2500 S to retain the very important
"floating hood" concept, allowing an expanded volume
of material to pass freely through the process without creating
a "friction brake" effect on the cutter and cutter drive
components.
- Material size is controlled by using hydraulically adjustable,
manganese-lined breaker bars that can be remotely adjusted by
the machine operator to tighten or close down the area between
the rotating cutter and the impact bars, a scheme used for decades
by the aggregate crushing industry.
- Its Type 11 Toolholder System allows quick and easy replacement
of broken or worn-out cutter bit toolholders without the inconvenience
and added cost of a cutting torch and welder. Drum rebuilding
can be executed in one day by two workers without removal of the
cutter.
