VÖGELE InLine Pave

VÖGELE InLine Pave – the economical paving method for compact asphalt pavements

With the InLine Pave concept, VÖGELE offers a particularly innovative paving technique specially suited for “hot on hot” paving when building compact asphalt pavements. Yet conventional road construction jobs, too, can be carried out in high quality and very economically the VÖGELE InLine Pave machine technology.

InLine Pave places the binder course and surface course in a single pass, which not only yields a perfect bond between layers but also ensures strong interlocking of the layers. This is a fundamental requirement for the durability of roads.

The advantages of InLine Pave technology

InLine Pave is based on the use of series produced machinery that undergoes just slight modification for “hot on hot” paving. For contractors, this means that every single machine in the InLine Pave train can also be used for conventional road construction jobs at any time. This substantially increases the productive utilization of the contractor’s machine pool and enhances the return on investment.

The advantages of VÖGELE technology are much in evidence, even when transporting the machines. As InLine Pave only uses machinery which is very close in design to series produced VÖGELE pavers, its size and weight are dimensioned so that transport is mere routine.

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.

Clear separation of layers

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.

Machine Technology

InLine Pave means that the process of paving takes place by machinery working in a line, one immediately after the other. All machines feature a very compact design. The InLine Pave train comprises three machines. An MT 3000-2i Offset material feeder, a SUPER 2100-3i IP paver for placing binder course and a SUPER 1800-3i paver for placing surface course.

The method of “hot on hot“ paving:

The two-layer construction of asphalt pavements by “hot on hot“ paving constitutes a particularly efficient method of building long-lasting roads. When using this method, binder and surface courses of hot rolled asphalt are laid “hot on hot“. This offers a number of advantages.

Wide range of applications

The InLine Pave machinery covers a wide range of road construction jobs. Whether rehabilitation of existing pavements or construction of new ones, VÖGELE InLine Pave always offers innovative and highly cost-efficient machine technology for building long-lasting roads.

InLine Pave is capable of handling pave widths from 3m to 8.5m. This allows for pavement rehabilitation or new construction of cross-town links, rural roads, highways and even motorways to be carried out to the highest standards of quality, within the shortest period of time and at low costs.

Resurfacing work on a motorway

Pave width 4m:

Rehabilitation of lorry lane. Traffic kept flowing on the adjacent lane.

Rehabilitation of a major road

Pave width 7m:

Seamless pavement rehabilitation of a federal highway with curve radii of less than 200m.

Construction of a new motorway

Pave width 5m:

Before placing binder and surface courses, the base course had been built with the SUPER 2100-2 IP.

Pavement rehabilitation of a national road

Pave width 3.75-5.25m:

Rehabilitation in single-lane width. Traffic kept flowing on the adjacent lane. Slope of 2%. Referencing from the milled base using the Big MultiPlex Ski allows for paving to the highest standards of evenness.

Rehabilitation of a major road

Pave width 7.5m:

Mix was fed by two MT 3000-2i Offset PowerFeeders

Resurfacing work on a motorway

Pave width 4.7m:

The roadworks on the busy motorway were carried out at night.

Construction of a new major road

Pave width 7.5m:

Two-layer paving between 6 bridges. On the bridge decks asphalt was placed by the paver for surface course. VÖGELE Big MultiPlex Ski used for grade and slope control.

Rehabilitation of a rural road

Pave widths of 5.5 – 7m:

9.5cm binder course and 2.5m surface course were paved in 12-hour shifts — no problem for the InLine Pave train.
