A
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.
Air Blast Nozzle
Directs high‑velocity air from the sweeper fan to dislodge curbside debris.
Air Compressor Dryer
Device removing moisture from the onboard air system before it reaches valves or brakes. Prevents corrosion and ice formation during winter sweeping operations.
Air Curtain (Nozzle)
Sheet of air shielding nozzle intake from splash-in water and fines.
Air Intake Baffle
Baffle reducing intake noise and debris ingestion.
Air Intake Guard
Protective mesh fitted at the sweeper’s main intake to prevent large debris entering the fan housing. It reduces the risk of impeller damage and costly downtime.
Aggregate Binder Ratio
Target ratio of binder volume to aggregate coverage.
Air Knife
Narrow jet of air used ahead of suction to lift fine dust from pores.
Aggregate Chipping Feeder
Mechanical feeder distributing coated chippings evenly across the spray width. Prevents clumping and ensures a uniform road texture in surface dressing works.
