InLine Pave is an innovative paving method - especially for “hot on hot” paving of compact asphalt pavements. Paving the binder and surface courses in just one pass ensures intensive meshing of the courses and allows roads to be rehabilitated for the long term - in top quality, in the shortest possible time and at low cost. But conventional construction methods, too, can be realized to a high standard of quality and very economically using InLine Pave® machine technology.
One tractor unit with three machines
In the InLine Pave process, all the machines work “in line”, so one immediately after another in a single line. The InLine Pave train comprises three machines:
an MT 3000-3i Offset material feeder which alternately paves binder and surface courses.
A SUPER 2100-3i IP binder course paver with an AB 600 TP2 Plus extending screed which achieves an extremely high degree of precompaction.
A SUPER 1800-3i with wider drive wheels, a water spray device and a heat-insulated extra material hopper for paving the surface course.
InLine Pave achieves excellent monolithic interlocking of binder and surface courses. At the same time, VÖGELE high compaction allows for a clear separation of the layers. The binder course is made thicker, whilst the surface course (at 2 to 3 cm thick) is paved thinner than usual.
Machine technology from series production
InLine Pave is based on the use of series-produced machinery modified for “hot on hot” paving. This allows construction companies to use each individual machine in the InLine Pave train for conventional construction projects as well. This significantly increases both the productive utilization of the contractor’s machine park and his return on investment (ROI).
VÖGELE technology is also beneficial for transport: the dimensions and weights of the machines are such that transporting them to the project site is purely a routine matter.
Greatest evenness
Thanks to VÖGELE high compaction technology installed in the screed, the binder course reaches a density beyond 98%. When applying InLine Pave, the surface course is paved “hot on hot“ on a binder layer which, in terms of evenness and density, is on a par with a binder layer compacted in the conventional way.
Use of conventional rollers
Medium-weight rollers can follow right behind the paver for placing surface course to produce the final density. VÖGELE high-compaction technology attains such a high degree of precompaction that the number of roller passes required for the final density is reduced substantially. Oscillation compaction technology is ideal for this application.
InLine Pave achieves excellent monolithic interlocking of binder and surface courses. At the same time, VÖGELE high compaction allows for a clear separation of the layers.
High capacity utilization through use of machines close to standard design
The material feeder and the paver for surface course can be used for conventional paving jobs at any time, without a need for conversion. The transfer module of the SUPER 2100-3i IP can be mounted or demounted in just a few hours. As a result, every machine of the InLine Pave train is available for conventional paving applications at all times.
Placing base courses with the SUPER 2100-3i IP
The SUPER 2100-3i IP with the AB 600 High Compaction Screed in the TP2 Plus version can also be used as a stand-alone paver for placing high-density base courses. Paving can be carried out in a single layer, which saves time and money.
Easy operation for high process reliability
The operation of all InLine Pave machines is to a large extent identical with ordinary paving jobs. When it comes to grade and slope control, the paving teams can fall back on the knowledge they have gained from jobs using conventional VÖGELE equipment.
