Stabilizer Method Featuring Environmentally-
friendly Paving Technology Description
● The Stabilizer method
The Stabilizer method is capable for conducting in-place base Cost-saving
course construction and/or subgrade rehabilitation by using a
Stabilizer that crushes and mixes materials on site.
The method provides the following benefits and makes
roadwork environmentally-friendly and profitable.

(1) Cost-saving :
Construction costs can be reduced by as much as 60 to 70% Upgrading of existing road
compared with conventional reconstruction or replacement and
methods.
(2) Resource-saving : Environmental protection
Existing materials are recycled on site.
(3) Shorter construction period :
Construction time can be shortened by 2/3 or less compared
to conventional reconstruction or replacement methods.
* The reconstruction or replacement methods is a technique Resource-saving Shorter
that removes the existing worn-out pavement to construct a construction
completely new pavement. period

High Construction Quality

● Outstanding crushing and optimized mixing
Outstanding crushing capacity Rotor speed
Material crush size can be optimized by utilizing the two-speed
Low High
rotor to meet a diverse range of paving conditions.
The machine is equipped with a secondary crusher in its rotor
hood so as to provide an improved crushing capability and
100 rpm 130 rpm
control.
High-strength rotor hood
Thick, high-strength steel plates are used for the side frames and
top plate of the rotor hood, substantially increasing the durability
of the rotor hood.
Optimized mixing
Maximum mixing depth: 430 mm. (17in)
SAKAI unique conical bit arrangement provides optimized mixing.

Max. mixing depth

430 mm (17 in)
Easy adjustments of crushed material size
The size of crushed materials can be adjusted so that they are
uniform, thanks to the incorporation of the two-speed rotor and
secondary crusher as well as the use of high-strength conical bits.

● High-powered engine
Work efficiency is supported by the 370kW / 503PS (496HP) high-
powered engine incorporated in the Stabilizer.

● Single operator control providing a clear view of the mixing operation

Console panels are arranged on the right and left of the operator’s station to provide better visibility to the conditions
of crushing and mixing so that they can be easily and carefully controlled during operation. In addition, the machine is
designed to permit easy adjustment of operating speed, mixing depth and rotor hood position by a single operator.

● Rotor shift mechanism (unique to SAKAI)

Safe operation along shoulder of a road
The lateral shift of the rotor hood is 500 mm (20 in) on each side,
ensuring safe operation even along soft shoulders of a road.
Precision work
The rotor hood can be shifted to run very tight to the edge of any
structure to improve the working accuracy.

● All-wheel drive system for consistent traction

The two-pump, two-motor HST circuit employed in the four-wheel
drive system ensures consistent traction even on a slippery road
surface and under other severe conditions.

● Easy speed change for working and mobilizing
One switch permits selection of one working speed and two
traveling speeds. When the working speed is selected, the
differential locking device built in the rear axle is activated
automatically to generate better traction.

*The safety system is designed to activate the mechanical wet multi-disc brake when the engine stalls.

● Slim engine hood for a clear view

The slim engine hood substantially reduces the dead angle to
provide excellent sight lines for safety when reversing the vehicle.

● Wide operator΄s deck

The wide operator΄s deck improves visibility in all directions.
Enhanced Maintenance Capability
● Easy access to bits and bit holders
The use of a two-stage type rear gate offers a wide
opening, which facilitates access to the rotary
drum and makes maintenance work easier during
replacement of the cutting bits and holders.

900mm
(35 in)

Power-operated rotor drum inching system

A power-operated inching system has been introduced for the
rotor drum to permit its rotation during engine stops, thereby
ensuring safety during maintenance.

● Full open engine hood

This engine hood provides quick and easy access to the engine,
peripheral equipment, and the hydraulic system.

Centralized layout of the rotor, hydraulic filter for the drive system,
and oil pressure gauge test port are arranged together for easy
access from the ground.

Radiator clogging control

To prevent clogging of the radiator with rust, dust, etc., the
PM550-s is equipped with a manual control valve for reverse
rotation of the radiator fan. Periodic reverse rotation is
recommended to prevent possible clogging of the radiator core.
● Fuel filler caps on both sides
The PM550-s has fuel filler caps on both side of the machine inside
the engine hood. This allows for safe, smooth re-fueling from
ground. In addition, a large 700 liters (185 gal) fuel tank used.

Fuel tank capacity

700 L (185 gal)

● Easy battery check / replacement

The battery can be checked and replaced easily from the ground.

● Large toolbox space

The PM550-s is designed with a space large enough for housing a
toolbox, bits, holder, etc.

● Emulsion spraying system

Automatic emulsion spraying system (Optional)
The application rate of emulsion spray is automatically adjusted
in accordance with the working speed. Information on mixing
such as width, depth, target density, etc., needs to be input in to a
controller.

Emulsion nozzle outlet design easy to clean

The emulsion nozzle outlet is designed for easy opening/closing
operation so as to facilitate cleaning around the outlet.

Large emulsion scouring tank

Scouring tank of 90 liters (23.8 gal) is available.
