The asphalt paver’s conveyor system is key for moving asphalt. How well it works directly impacts whether paving can keep going smoothly. It has some main parts. The conveying plate acts like a "passage" – it gives asphalt a flat surface to flow on and stops it piling up. The conveyor chain is like a "conveyor belt". It steadily pushes asphalt from the hopper to the Auger system. The chain protection is a "cover". It reduces friction between the chain and asphalt, keeps impurities out, and helps the chain last longer. The hopper is a "temporary warehouse". It takes in asphalt from trucks, making sure there’s enough for the next steps.
