A
Application Rate (Binder)
Target litres/m² of bitumen emulsion or hot binder applied by the sprayer bar.
Auxiliary Hydraulic Cooler
Additional oil cooler fitted to the hydraulic circuit for extreme-temperature work. Prevents system overheating when operating heavy broom or fan loads continuously.
Anti-Corrosion Coating
Protective zinc or epoxy coating applied to sweep-gear frames and tanks. Extends service life in areas exposed to road salt and spray.
Application Rate Audit
Periodic audit comparing logged vs target rates.
Auxiliary Hydraulic Pump
An auxiliary hydraulic pump is a secondary pump fitted to supply hydraulic power to systems such as sweep gear, brushes, or suction equipment. Depending on design, it can support more stable flow as engine speed varies during operation. Consistent hydraulic delivery improves controllability and supports predictable engagement of hydraulically actuated components. Auxiliary supply is relevant…
Anti-Drip Nozzle Cap
Valve/cap preventing drips when spray sections close.
Application Rate Table
Laminated quick-reference table correlating nozzle pressure with binder output. Helps site staff confirm correct flow without needing software access.
Auxiliary Power Socket
12-volt or 24-volt socket mounted in the cab or body for powering hand tools. Commonly used to run inspection lamps or small pumps on UK sweepers.
Aggregate Temperature Probe
Digital probe that records the temperature of coated chippings before spreading. UK surface dressing specifications require readings within a defined range for adhesion.
Aggregate-Chip Temperature Logger
Portable logger clipped to the aggregate conveyor. Records chipping temperature to confirm compliance with Clause 922 surface-dressing specs.
