Diamond Road Smoother features all-in-one diamond tooth grinding system
Diamond Road this summer plans to launch its Diamond Road Smoother all-in-one machine that includes a profiler, computer system, water tank, cutting machine, brooms, vacuum system and directional arrow board on a trailer that can be towed.
Features include:
Long averaging arms with multiple pivoting wheels designed to smooth individual humps and dips, according to the company, that will naturally level surface defects
A quick set up and transition time from transport to grinding, up to 2 minutes and working speed up to 5 mph
8-foot grinding head
Automated controls that allow the machine to run off of a pre-determined road profile
Works on both asphalt and concrete roads at up to a depth of 1/2-inch without decreasing speed, the company reports.
Diamond Road says the new Smoother could be used prior to chip or slurry seals and thin overlays to help provide a smoother surface than by simply applying those preventative maintenance options.

– The Diamond Road Smoother is an all-in-one machine that combines a profiler, computer system, water tank, cutting machine, brooms, vacuum system and arrow boards. – 8 foot wide grinding allows a full lane road to be cut in just two passes. – With combined profiling and cutting slash grinders, the Diamond Road Smoother is safer to use as workers do not need to exit the cab. – A laser system and camera system allows obstacles to be marked from inside the cab. Fully automated after a 1 minute setup period. – The Diamond Road Smoother has three speeds: highway speeds, 10 miles/hour when leveling wheels are down, and computer-controlled cutting speeds. Top speed for competition – 3 miles/hour. – 5 times more teeth than regular road mills; leaving a finished surface that traffic can drive immediately.
