AB 600 Extending Screed
The extending screed with a wide range of applications in the Universal Class and the Highway Class
The AB 600 extending screed has a basic width of 3 meters (9.85 ft). Equipped with the robust single-tube telescoping system, its paving width is infinitely variable up to 6 meters (19.7 ft). With the addition of bolt-on extensions, even strips as wide as 9.5 meters (31.2 ft) can be paved without joints. As a result, the screed is ideal for use with the Dash 3 pavers of the Universal Class and the Highway Class. In addition to the screed versions TV, TP1 and TP2, the TP2 Plus variant is also available for the AB 600 extending screed to achieve particularly high precompaction.

Compaction technology
VÖGELE sets the benchmark with products that deliver a phenomenal degree of precompaction in the paving process. Cutting-edge technology and the most advanced materials guarantee the outstanding performance and reliability of VÖGELE compaction technology. This applies to all VÖGELE compacting systems, from vibrators all the way to the VÖGELE high-compaction system with tamper and pressure bars.
High-compaction technology
The pressure bars driven by pulsed-flow hydraulics are the core of VÖGELE high-compaction technology. By combining screed versions TP1, TP2 and TP2 Plus with this unique technology, our pavers achieve maximum compaction values. Compaction performances of over 98% can be achieved with VÖGELE’s unique high-compaction technology – without rolling.
Telescoping system
The operating principle of all VÖGELE extending screeds is the single-tube telescoping system. Even at maximum extension, half of the three-part, generously-sized telescoping tube is clamped, ensuring optimum stabilization. As the telescoping system is arranged at a high level, this prevents any contact with paving mix.
Heating System
VÖGELE has put its faith in electric screed heating for decades. This extensive experience, in combination with continuous further development, means that VÖGELE screeds are now brought to temperature quickly and evenly.
Manufacturing Technology
VÖGELE screeds feature leading-edge technology made possible by state-of-the-art production processes. The first of these processes, the precision cutting to shape of extremely wear-resistant sheet steel, takes place on laser cutting stations. Robots which operate continuously to a consistently high standard ensure long-lasting, stable welds.
