iNNOVATIVE SCREED TECHNOLOGY<br />

In addition to the tractor units, Vögele has also elevated its screed<br />

technology to the next level and developed the new AB 500 and<br />

AB 600 extending screeds. They are ideal for all applications that<br />

call for variability and adaptability. With their infinitely adjustable<br />

single-tube telescoping system, these screeds cover a virtually<br />

unlimited spectrum of applications with pave widths ranging from<br />

2.55 to 9.5 metres.<br />

Furthermore, Joseph Vögele AG is also presenting two new<br />

extending screeds at bauma 2013 that are aimed specifically at<br />

the needs of the North American market and the VISION pavers.<br />

The VF 500 (extending units are located in front of the basic<br />

screed, see Page 25) and VR 600 (extending units are located<br />

behind the basic screed) guarantee perfect paving results thanks<br />

to highly advanced screed technology.<br />

• Tamper bar: The tamper geometry has been optimized,<br />

resulting in a flat screed planing angle. This ensures a<br />

longer service life and even better compaction and<br />

evenness.<br />

• Hydraulic crown adjustment: This function is integrated in<br />

the screed operator’s console as standard. The crown is<br />

adjusted quickly and precisely via push buttons. The<br />

current crown is displayed on both screed operator’s<br />

consoles.<br />

• Screed heating: Extremely uniform heating of the screed<br />

plates, tamper bar and pressure bar yields an absolutely<br />

uniform surface. The preheating time has been markedly<br />

reduced. An economical Alternating Mode operates when<br />

the paver functions are set to automatic.<br />

• Improved telescoping system: This allows better sliding<br />

properties and at the same time a longer service life.<br />

• Hydraulically height-adjustable end plates: The alternative<br />

to mechanical end plates has been newly designed and<br />

equipped with completely integrated valve technology. The<br />

height is adjusted easily, safely and precisely.<br />
