VÖGELE InLine Pave machine technology

The material feeder is the first machine involved in the paving process. It receives binder or surface course mixes supplied by feed vehicles and transfers the mix, by turns, either directly into the large extra material hopper of the paver for binder course or — via a transfer module — into the material hopper of the paver for surface course.

The SUPER 2100-3i IP for placing binder course is a modified machine of standard design, fitted with a special transfer module for the surface course mix. The transfer module conveys the mix directly into the material hopper of the paver placing surface course. The SUPER 2100-3i IP builds a binder course of high density and, as a result, of high resistance to deformation.

This screed, based on VÖGELE’s unique pulsed-flow hydraulics, is equipped with two pressure bars. The screed is the technological gem of the InLine Pave machine technology. The binder placed and compacted by the AB 600 TP2 Plus features such a high density that the paver for surface course, following behind, can travel on the binder layer.

A SUPER 1800-3i is used to pave the surface course. Only slight modifications must be made before the paver can be used in the InLine Pave train. It is fitted with crawler tracks which have larger track shoes and a water spraying system, as well as a particularly large, thermally insulated extra material hopper which can hold 25 tonnes of mix in total.
