Introducing the New Slide-Out Pugmill for the Macropaver CR & 12-EX

A Smarter, Faster Way to Maintain Your Machine: Introducing the New Slide-Out Pugmill for the Macropaver CR & 12-EX

At Macropaver, we don’t just build slurry and micro surfacing machines—we engineer solutions that make your work easier, faster, and more efficient. That’s why we’re excited to introduce one of our most service-friendly innovations yet: the new slide-out pugmill, now available on both the Macropaver CR and the Macropaver 12-EX.

Whether you’re running a continuous-run CR on large-scale highway projects or putting the 12-EX to work in high-production municipal jobs, this new feature is a game-changer for routine maintenance and major rebuilds alike.

Why a Slide-Out Pugmill?

Simple. Time is money—and access matters.

Historically, servicing a pugmill meant climbing inside, contorting around tight clearances, and often spending hours removing components just to reach the wear parts. We heard our customers loud and clear: there had to be a better way.

So we designed one.

Key Benefits:

• Tool-Free Access Slide the entire pugmill module out from the frame with minimal disassembly—no need to remove the body or fight tight angles.

• Faster Maintenance Change paddles, inspect shafts, or swap wear components in a fraction of the time it used to take.

• Safety First No more reaching into tight, confined spaces. The slide-out design lets your crew work smarter—and safer.

• Compatible with Both Models Whether you’re running the Macropaver CR or the 12-EX, this feature is available on new builds and can be quoted as part of a custom specification package.

Built for the Real World

We developed the slide-out pugmill after talking directly with contractors and DOT crews—people who live with these machines every day. It’s not a gimmick. It’s a practical improvement that makes real impact on uptime, safety, and your bottom line.

At the end of the day, our goal is to build machines that work as hard as you do. The new slide-out pugmill is one more way we’re making good on that promise.

If you’re interested in adding this feature to your next Macropaver build—or want to learn more about retrofit options—contact our sales team today.

Because downtime isn’t optional. And neither is innovation.
