Col­lab­o­ra­tion Pow­er: BU Pow­er Sys­tems and WINTER Markiertech­nik GmbH

With its know-how in road con­struc­tion, WINTER Markiertech­nik GmbH has spe­cialised for many years in the devel­op­ment and pro­duc­tion of inno­v­a­tive and effi­cient mark­ing and demark­ing machines for roads and air­ports. The WINTER Markiertech­nik GmbH prod­uct port­fo­lio offers the right machine tech­nol­o­gy for every mark­ing task, regard­less of whether it is struc­tur­al mark­ings, thick-film mark­ings or spray appli­ca­tions using the air­spray, air­less or hot-spray process­es — from hand-held devices and self-pro­pelled machines to mark­ing trucks with max­i­mum capac­i­ty and spe­cial equip­ment. Addi­tion­al equip­ment such as road­way dry­ers, demark­ing cut­ters, ther­mo­plas­tic cook­ers or bead spread­ers com­plete the prod­uct range.

The machines of the W 351 series from WINTER Markiertech­nik GmbH are equipped with a Perkins® 404J-E22TA, stage V engine. The engine is a 4‑cylinder engine with a dis­place­ment of 2.2 litres. The com­pact “lit­tle one” from Perkins has an out­put of 55 kW (74 hp) and offers an excel­lent torque of 279 Nm at low speeds of 1600 rpm. Added to this are low oper­at­ing costs and extreme­ly low noise lev­els. The noise advan­tage results in fur­ther work­ing time win­dows in noise-sen­si­tive work­ing areas.

Like all oth­er machine mod­els from WINTER Markiertech­nik GmbH, all con­ven­tion­al mark­ing mate­ri­als can be processed with the W 351 GTLR. From ther­mo­plas­tic mark­ing mate­ri­als for thin- and thick-lay­er mark­ings to the appli­ca­tion of sprayable cold paints and cold spray plas­tics (both pos­si­ble in the air­less or air atom­i­sa­tion process) to the appli­ca­tion of thick-lay­er cold plas­tics. Thanks to the mod­u­lar sys­tem of the vehi­cle frame, the appli­ca­tion units can be inter­changed. This enables the machine oper­a­tor to cov­er a diverse range of tasks and increase machine efficiency.

“Easy main­te­nance, low fuel con­sump­tion and a main­te­nance-free after-treat­ment sys­tem make the 400 engine par­tic­u­lar­ly user-friend­ly for us. It fits har­mo­nious­ly into the machine design of the W 351 series and is suit­able for a wide range of appli­ca­tion require­ments. A spe­cial fea­ture of the W 351 is the mod­u­lar design of the machine. Dif­fer­ent appli­ca­tion require­ments can be processed with dif­fer­ent front car­riages,” says Lisa Par­czan­ny, team leader sales mark­ing technology.
