Abstract

The invention relates to a feeder (B) for conveying paving mixture to a road paver, whereby the feeder has a plurality of working assemblies (M, Q, 5, 10 ) and a control area ( 12 ). According to the invention an automatic mode can be set in the control area ( 12 ) for at least one of the working assemblies, and a conveyor main switch ( 15 ) is provided upon operation of which all assemblies set to automatic mode are activated with predetermined operating parameters.

1 . Feeder for conveying a paving mixture to a road paver, wherein the feeder has a plurality of working assemblies and a control area apparatus on the control area for setting an automatic operation mode for at least one of the working assemblies, and a conveyor main switch that operates to activate all assemblies set to automatic mode, each of said assemblies being activated with predetermined operating parameters. 
     
     
         2 . Feeder according to  claim 1 , wherein the automatic mode can be set individually for a working assembly or for each of a plurality of working assemblies. 
     
     
         3 . Feeder according to  claim 1  wherein the working assemblies comprise one or more conveying assemblies, a stripper, a cleaning brush, a spaying system, a vibrator and/or a heater or the like. 
     
     
         4 . Feeder according to  claim 1  wherein, the operating parameters for operating the working assemblies can be set and/or changed. 
     
     
         5 . Feeder according to  claim 1  wherein, the relationship between individual operating parameters of one or of various working assemblies can be set. 
     
     
         6 . Feeder according to  claim 1  wherein, the controller has memory for storing the operating parameters for operating the working assemblies. 
     
     
         7 . Feeder according to  claim 6 , wherein a group of operating parameters of one or more working assemblies is stored in and can be retrieved from memory as a common operating program. 
     
     
         8 . Feeder according to  claim 1  wherein a display field provided in the control area. 
     
     
         9 . Feeder according to  claim 1  comprising, an override switch located in the control area. 
     
     
         10 . Feeder according to  claim 1  which comprises a control element on the control field for by means of which the conveying capacity of the feeder can be changed proportionally is provided on the control field.
