Efficient and Eco-Friendly Drive Concept

Powerful PERKINS engine developing 129.6 kW at just 2,000 rpm. The modern, low-noise engine
complies with exhaust standards COM 3a and EPA.
Different speed ranges are available which select conveniently at the push of a button
(MIN, ECO Mode, MAX).
ECO Mode (125 kW at 1,800 rpm) is sufficient for many paving applications. Working in ECO Mode
further decreases engine noise emission, reduces fuel consumption and wear.
A constant pave speed is one of the crucial factors when it comes to achieving excellent
pavement quality. Electronic engine management, installed in the SUPER 1800-2, ensures a consistent
engine output to match demand.
Powerful three-phase A.C. generator with generator management controlling generator output
in compliance with your pave width. Heating the screeds compacting systems to operating
temperature takes a short time only.
Thanks to a large cooler assembly with innovative air routing, perfect cooling of engine cooling
liquid, hydraulic oil and charge air. Noise emission is very low.
A constantly high cooling capacity provides for ideal temperatures inside the hydraulic system
and top performance of all drive units even when working under full load and at high ambient
temperatures up to 50 C.
For hydraulic functions, powerful separate drives are installed operating in closed circuits,
thus delivering highest outputs.

High Precision on Tracks

Thanks to powerful separate drives fitted into the sprockets for crawler tracks, engine output
is translated into pave speed with no loss of power.
Long crawler tracks with large ground contact provide for maximum tractive effort, allowing
the paver to get on well at a constant speed even when operating on difficult terrain.
Positive tracking when moving straight and accurate turning of radii due to separate drive
and electronic control provided for each crawler track.

Large Material Hopper and Easy Feed with Mix

The large material hopper holding 13 tonnes is amply dimensioned so that a sufficient quantity of mix is stored
at all times. No problem to tide over difficult situations such as paving under bridges, for instance.
Easy feed with mix thanks to low material hopper, wide hopper sides and sturdy rubber baffles fitted
to the hopper front.
Large oscillating push-rollers for convenient and shock-free docking of feed vehicles.
Thanks to a hydraulically operated hopper front (option), no spills of mix when feed lorries change.
Directs the mix inside the material hopper right onto the conveyors, so no hand work with shovels required.
The entirety of mix is properly conveyed in front of the screed.

Perfect Conveyance and Spreading of Mix

A Must for Prime Pavement Quality
Powerful, separate hydraulic drives for conveyors and augers are installed achieving laydown rates up to 700 tonnes/h.
Proportional control and continuous monitoring provided for conveyors and augers guarantee a constant head
of mix in front of the screed in conformity with the requirement.
Augers complete with bearing boxes and limiting plates for the auger tunnel are infinitely variable in height
up to 20cm.
Due to auger height adjustment, optimal spreading of mix even when paving thin layers or on sections where
layer thickness varies.
Large diameter of auger blades (400mm) for excellent spreading of mix when paving in large widths.
An auger tunnel, easily variable in depth, provides for an optimal flow of mix when paving thick layers.

Easy Maintance Long Intervals Between Maintenance Services

A wide engine hood and large hinged panels give convenient access to service points on the machine.
All hydraulic pumps attached to the transfer gearbox. Their clear arrangement and easy access provides
for service-friendliness at the highest level.
Centralized lubrication system installed to automatically supply required amounts of grease to bearings
of conveyors and augers.
Sturdy components of highly wear-resistant materials for long service lives minimize downtime.
A uniform service concept for all VGELE pavers simplifies maintenance and cuts expenditure on training.

The User-Friendly Concept for Paver Handling

ErgoPlus Operator Stand Offers Excellent All-Round Visibility

The comfortable operator stand gives unobstructed view of all hot spots on the paver such as material hopper,
steering guide or screed. It allows the operator to easily monitor the paver's feed with mix, for instance.
Seats swung out to the sides and an orderly designed operator platform provide for free visibility
of the auger tunnel, permitting the paver operator to keep an eye on the head of mix in front of the screed
at all times.
The ergonomically designed operator environment allows convenient working. A legroom kept warm
adds to operator comfort during the cold season.

Theres a Place for Everything

The operators stand of streamlined design is very well organized. It offers plenty of stowage room
allowing to keep your machine in good order.
Compartments for theft protection are provided beneath the operators seats to stow away the screwmens
consoles at the end of the day.
The operators console protected by an unbreakable cover of glass fibre reinforced polymer material
keeps off unauthorized persons and prevents damage through vandalism.

Hardtop Gives Excellent Protection

Modern hardtop of glass fibre reinforced polymer material shelters the operator whether rain or shine.
Wide sunshades extending easily give the operator optimal protection even when seat moved out.
Hardtop, including muffler end pipe, raises up or lowers down quickly and with effortless ease by manually
operated hydraulic pump.
Six bright working lights are integrated into the hardtop. Raising the lights in this way floods the job site
with light (Xenon lamps available as an option).

ErgoPlus Consoles for Paver Operator and Screwman

The paver operator's console sliding across the full width of the operator stand and adjusting easily
allows convenient working in an ergonomic position also when seat swivelled outwards.
Paver functions are logically arranged and clustered in groups complying with the needs of a road building
site, thus ensuring easy and positive handling of the machine.
Direct access to paver functions by push-buttons. Thus, reversing auger rotation, for instance, can easily
be initiated by the screwman at the touch of a button.
Push-buttons are reliably identifiable by touch even when wearing work gloves, so that operator error
is positively precluded.
Large easy-to-read displays on the operators and screwmans consoles show vital paving data on
menue level 1.
A clear menue structure in combination with self-explanatory symbols provides for easy use of the display.
The paver operators console lights up automatically as darkness falls, thus creating best possible conditions
for night-time work.
When leaving "Pave Mode", a smart Memory feature stores last settings for paver functions so that,
when resuming work after a move of the paver on site, these settings are restored automatically.
Not only on the paver operators console but on the screwmans console, too, can vital paver and screed
data be displayed and set-ups or adjustments be made.
The modular design of the paver operators console permits easy and inexpensive replacement of single
modules without having to replace the entire unit.

Grade and Slope Control is Childs Play with NIVELTRONIC Plus

NIVELTRONIC Plus, the cutting-edge VGELE System for Grade and Slope Control (option), stands out through
easy handling and achieves excellent paving results.
Easy operation thanks to the use of symbols neutral in language.
For direct access, all major NIVELTRONIC Plus functions are located on menue level 1.
An electronic system is installed in the tow point rams measuring the tow points positions.
Current positions of tow point rams and slope are shown on the paver operators and the screwmans consoles
for easy set-up of the screed.
All sensors connected are recognized automatically by NIVELTRONIC Plus and can be controlled
and monitored from the screwmans console.
