Asphalt Milling Machine

Pavement milling (cold planing, asphalt milling, or profiling) is the process of removing at least part of the surface of a paved area such as a road, bridge, or parking lot. Milling removes anywhere from just enough thickness to level and smooth the surface to a full depth removal.

Milling machines utilize a large, rotating drum that removes and grinds the surface of the asphalt. ... The carbide cutters are positioned in such a way that after being cut, the pavement is automatically moved to the center of the drum. The pavement is then loaded onto a conveyor belt attached to the milling machine.
